I believe that is the case in Canada, but not the US.

i have to get a little off topic for a second, upon reading this thread (and excuse me for being ignorant) jiffy lube is 80 something bucks for and oil change?????? and some dealers are $120??? my customers get a complete oil change..top off all fluids (no charge for any fluids added) reset tire pressure and oil life monitor , lube the doors and suspension contacts and get a free car wash for $82 including tax (synthetic oil change) along with the peace of mind a trained factory tech is working on the vehicle

Sounds like you need to jack up your prices.

How much does it cost to go out to a bar with your pals and pop a few brews down while indulging in a meal before going to the movies to see the summer blockbuster? Or do you decide that you'll sit at home, eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, drink water and watch network TV on your rabbit ears so you don't spend any money?
