If you are in the Dallas area, the place is called MyBay Automotive in Denton. Every 7 hours you buy, you get a free hour. I think there is a similar place in Plano.

I sure wish we had one of these DIY garages in the Colorado Springs area. Also, my first oil change went great. This thread was a big help. The cap was on way too tight and I really needed the socket. I made sure to torque properly and had no leaks, so it looks like no damage was done by the over torque by the shop on the last oil change.
