$86.44 for oil change? I feel screwed - Toyota Yaris Forums

You either pay now or you pay later.

I had to invest in tools to do car work:
Ramps - $38
Jack - $96
Jack Stands - $20
Torque wrench - $15
Other tools/sockets - $20

But my oil change cost me <$25 in parts, and that was with Pennzoil Platinum synthetic and a TRD filter. Having those tools available made the decision to buy snow tires/rims and swap them out myself easier. "Free" tire rotations for life now :P

It hasn't hit -20F in WI yet, but it might. Overkill?
