Oil Change Coupons and Specials: Get One Today for Cheap

When the time comes for an oil change in your favorite vehicle, you want to get the best price possible. Going to a shop generally costs more than buying your own supplies and doing it yourself. Many people prefer the convenience of a service station, however, so having someone else perform the oil change remains their favorite method. Fortunately, an abundance of  coupons and specials exist to choose from.

Oil Change Franchises

Major chains with large advertising budgets offer consumers deals to save money. Keep in mind stores usually entice customers to take advantage of these specials in order to up-sell additional services like air filter changes and tire sales. MIDAS offers a $19.99 oil change special. Opting for synthetic oil adds a few more dollars. TIRES PLUS offers a coupon on its website for a $23.99 synthetic blend change. TIRE KINGDOM advertises a $19.99 "basic" oil change including filter, lubrication and vehicle inspection. The consumer can opt for the "$10 Off Premium Oil Change" coupon using synthetic blend oil. Check for other taxes and fees such as recycling and "shop" fees that can add to the price.

Bulletin Boards

Smart shoppers can browse web bulletin boards like craigslist to find local cheap oil changes. On craigslist, under the "services" heading, click on "automotive" and type in "oil change" in the "search for" field. Specials for $19.99 oil changes can often be found. On twitter, searching for "oil change coupons" in the "Find People" field will help you find specials in your state.

Other Sources

Local dealerships frequently give oil change discounts. Search the Internet for dealerships in your zip code. Keeping an eye out for billboards helps you spot oil change specials as well. A "$10 off Tuesdays" sign catches the eye in some cities for Jiffy Lube where this discount applies every Tuesday. Naturally, newspapers provide a great source for coupons too.

With typical oil change prices hovering around $30 plus, most people want to take advantage of the numerous specials available. Make it clear to the shop personnel if you don't want them to provide any other services without your permission.  Saving money on oil changes will put more money in your pocket to spend on your car or elsewhere.
