I'll pay it. I don't have to take my car to a mechanic? That saves me an hour. The extra 10 dollars is an acceptable convenience charge.

(Now, I know you think, everyone can just change their own oil! But for those of us who are apartment dwellers without space for all of the tools? We're a bit stuck. That's not counting the places where we aren't allowed to change our own oil -- I'm not sure how Your Mechanic will work around this.

I'm more worried they won't be able to get the density required to make this worthwhile in the first place.

Have you ever taken an Uber? People are paying double the cost of a regular cab and Uber is doing extremely well. People will pay for convenience. Personally, I've gone way over the time in which I should have changed my oil dozens of times simply because it's inconvenient and I have better things to do.

I'm also not even sure what an average oil change costs? Without that knowledge, because I haven't done it often enough to know, $40 actually seems perfectly reasonable.

How much are a few hours of your time worth? Even a one hour savings easily saves $40. Absolutely worth it for the convenience, would shell that out in a second if someone would come by and fix it while I coded.

Tell us, how much do you pay for an oil change and around how much do you get paid per hour?

yea, it is really hard to compete on oil change price. 80% of our services are price competitive (even up to 30% less expensive).
