There is a BIG disparity in oil change pricing

Aug. 20, 2015

Someone is charging $14.95 for an oil change in Northeast Ohio! By comparison, the average price charged for a conventional or synthetic blend oil change in 2014 was $20.47.

The beginning of the school year has something to do with it, of course. Other retailers are following suit, trying to entice everyone from soccer moms to college students with specials and coupons.

With fall just around the corner, Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich compared those oil change prices with other competitors. The results from the non-independent tire dealer channels may surprise you.
