My "Great Falls" Exxon Service

OMG...I am at Katie's Car and Coffee almost every Saturday. I never knew about this shop.
People taking exotics to local oil change shop!!! Wow.
Do they do a good job? I would like to go there for my VA annual safety inspection check (it is a stupid tax, and you all know it).

Did they use a high speed balance while mounting your tires?
Also, I would take it back and get the wheels torque checked at 118 ft-lbs. (check your manual but I believe that is what it is). Too much torque will elongate your studs and lead to premature failure of the studs, too little torque could lead to a really bad condition.
I am very pro INDY, not sure about the service stations.
If you are going to do this, I would recommend giving them the right oil, oil filter, o-ring, torque specs for the wheels and ensure they have a high speed balance.
My 2 cents.

Not exactly sure but I believe I read somewhere that the oil drain plug is plastic and should not be re-used. I also believe it must be torqued as well?
can anyone confirm?

I haven't been yet. Somebody said you need to be there by 6AM or so to get parking. When the weather is nice, I'll plan to go. This weekend is going to be lousy weather. I'll post something when I go.

I'd have zero concern about a Great Falls 'service station'. If they sucked, they'd be out of business in a heartbeat as they wouldn't be able to afford the property tax!
Dated a girl once from Great Falls. Her dad had four Emmy Awards displayed on his fireplace mantle. She unfortunately was bat **** crazy. Oh well
