    most shops are the same. unless you go to a private owned shop, that seem to be a little cleaner/better.

    Changing oil is over rated.

    Bring it to my garage in Decatur.

    $75 plus your own oil and filter.

    NO, We WON'T give you any info about the leak.

    I got a jack, drain pan, and some tools. Just stop by on the way to FL.

    No charge, but bring the oil and such. Oil leaks aren't too hard to figure out, between 3 people I'm sure it can be figured out.

    The paint is all dull (I need to polish it, thanks for the reminder!), the torque converter slips and the hood rattles when idling - but it'll start up every damn time and it has worked without issues. Definitely a good car - and it'll probably go a good 30k miles on an oil change and not complain lol.

    Once I get the pulley noise fixed, new serp belt and a new torque converter - it'll be good as new. Awesome beater car!

    If you want it cheap they won't care about you. You get what you pay for. The NTB on 41 near Windy Hill (across the street from Dobbins) is typically open pretty late. (9pm I think?) When I worked at that Jiffy Lube they were there well after we were leaving. Speaking off, both Jiffy Lubes on 41 in that same area can probably have you in/out pretty quickly if you're getting there around 6:30 (I assume they're still open to 7 at least, been several months since I worked there). If you ask any of these places they will gladly take a look at the oil leak (They're pretty much staring at it as it is) and give you a general idea of where it's coming from.
