Lunch Break Oil Change

Finding the time to perform routing vehicle maintenance can be tough but there is no reason to put off performing this important task. It may seem like a chore and one you certainly do not want to undertake in the middle of the day on a beautiful weekend and who says you have to? There is plenty of time mid week to get this work done and it does not even have to cut into your evening. Instead consider having an oil change lunch. Most shops can perform a lube job in a little over half an hour leaving you time to get back the office and a chance to grab a bite to eat while the mechanics do their thing. However, to make the most of it there are a few tips to consider and things to look for in a shop.

First of all it is best to have an oil change at one of the many corner specialists. They usually make some sort of claim about how quickly they can perform a lube job and in this instance speed is key. A busy driver is going to want to locate a business that can guarantee getting a vehicle in and out in under the amount of time allotted for lunch. In most cities there should be no problem locating an appropriate provider.

Another thing to look for is sort of a no brainer if you plan on having an oil change over your lunch break. That is to say it is necessary to find a mechanic that is near a restaurant or diner. You are not going to have time for a full sit down meal most likely so any sort of fast food may have to do. Although, just because you have a need for speed does not mean you must grab a quick value meal. Instead consider a sandwich shop or salad bar. It should be possible to get something made and have time to eat it before the maintenance is done. If you are concerned about getting back before the car service is done consider getting something to go and eating it in the lobby. There is no rule against it and that way you can just wrap it up and leave if they finish working before your finished eating.

It is hard to find time in our life for the boring and time-consuming errand of having an oil change. Instead of letting it eat up a part of the weekend or take time out of the evening hours when all you want to do is go home and relax, consider having an oil change done on a weekday lunch break. It will ensure that the car is maintained as it should be and affords you the ability to still have a mid day meal.
