    I'm going on a road trip next month, and I will be in Tukwila when my odometer will tell me I need an oil change. I'd appreciate any recommendations (either dealer or independent) that will be within a reasonable distance. I'm taking my own oil and filter, so I'll just be paying for the labor to do it (and Costco will be rotating my tires).

    Thanks in advance for your help!!

    :)

    i get mine done at jiffy lube in marysville. it's the same deal although you may have to show the guys how to start it up and they usually dont know how to reset the oil reminder but the changing is pretty standard.

    Avoid jiffylube at all costs. They can be hazardous to your vehicle and your wallet.

    Yeah, I would only go to a dealer or a trusted independent mechanic who is used to working on hybrids (I figured there would be some in Seattle!). I've heard some of the horror stories about JiffyLube and other "quick" oil change places.
