Oil Change Costs Soar: Mechanic Questions Inflation's Impact on Labor
A mechanic recently highlighted a significant increase in oil change prices at his workplace, reflecting broader economic trends. The individual, Skyler, showed how standard oil changes rose from $39.95 to $79.99 within a year, with full synthetic services now at $120. Skyler noted, "They went up again to $79.99," and, despite the new prices being competitive, questioned the cause. He suggested, "the price of labor is what's bringing the price of the oil changes up, meanwhile the people doing the labor don't get any pay raises or anything." This observation points to consumer concerns about rising service costs and their impact on workers.
