I Suck At Oil Changes

I was in for quite a pleasant surprise on Friday.

After dropping Karen off at the train station so that she could get to work, I noticed that our car had surpassed the 3000 mile mark since the car's last oil change. So needless to say, I decided to bring the car in to the local Firestone for an oil change.

Now, I suck at oil changes. The past few times that I brought my car in for service, I have been disappointed... not by the service staff because they are great, but by the fact that the car needed fluke work performed on it.

It goes without saying then that I brought our car in for an oil change with some trepidation. I was afraid that the staff would uncover some other issue that needed to be addressed or something like that.

Well, to my surprise... there was no other issue. That was good news. Truth be told, the staff at Firestone has claimed before that our car is actually in great working shape and should last a while. Whether that's true or not, I don't really know. I'm inclined to believe them since they are more knowledgeable than me when it comes to cars.

Anyway, the best part of the experience happened when I went to pay for the oil change. The staff at Firestone simply gave me the oil change for free. I was pleasantly surprised by that nice gesture. The manager just told me not to worry about the oil change because he knew of the fluke work that we had done on the car. I was ecstatic. Sure, an oil change does not cost that much, but it was the kind gesture that I'll always remember. It was really a great way to start off my day.

Needless to say, I was in a pretty good mood for the rest of the day. Thanks again Firestone!
