Oil Change / Service for new Bostonian?

GreenKate · 07-05-2006, 12:41 AM

Hi everyone,

I just arrived in Cambridge yesterday after a successful journey with my trusty '06 (48 MPG across the country, not too shabby!). I am in desperate need of an oil change and tire rotation as I hit 10,000 miles this morning. After reviewing a few posts on the board, it seems that dealers out here are much more expensive than back in the San Francisco Bay Area (not that it's exactly cheap back home) for simple service like oil change / tire rotation.

That being said, are there any reliable places that can perform a quick oil change and tire rotation somewhere in the Cambridge / Somerville / Arlington area (or even further, if need be - I'm not working this week)? As the car is still pretty new I hesitate to let just anyone put their hands on it.

Thanks much for the help - I appreciate it! Hope to see some of you on the road in the future.

Kate
