Default synthetic oil change in southwest burbs?

I'm trying to find a place for my sister to take her car. Its a MB SUV. Anyone know of a mechanic or shop that has a good deal on synthetic oil changes? Thanks.

If it's still new-ish and under warranty, I would take a car like that to the dealer. They take a lot of oil, so even if you found a "deal" you're still probably looking at $100+ oil change.

I know some places will charge you less if you bring your own oil. Shop around and see who can do that. I'm pretty sure I had mine done once at a Just Tires and they only charged me $20 with my own oil. This was a few years ago, but Still worth a try.

You will save so much more if you bring your own oil! I used to do that all the time at the Honda dealer and they will only charge you for the labor, disposal, and filter. If you have a membership to costco or sams club they have good deals on oil depending on what kind you want.

Why don't you do it yourself?
At least half the price and done right.
Plus, the filter is in a super easy location.
Almost ALL places you take it will not let the oil drain sufficiently.

This is for his sister, which I'm assuming is in a different location than he is.
