Midas GRRRRRRRRR.....

A phone call made by me at 8:25am:

Midas Tech: Midas of Dartmouth.
Me: Hi, could you take me for an oil change if I got the car down in a few minutes?
Tech: I dont see why not.
Me: Alright, and it's ok if I supply my own oil and filter? I have done it before.
Tech: No.
Me: Then you cannot make a sale. And you never will with me again.

Well, I'm faced with either the overwhelming BS of not being able to go to a midas and having a 80815-20004 filter with mobil-1 put in, they sell a generic synthitic but it costs like $55 to do it, or the overwhelming inconvenience of my favorite independent shop back home being open only on weekdays (when im at school) and only two saturdays a month (when theyre usually booked right up) making getting an oil change as painful as a root canal. God I hate this situation. God I have absolutely hated servicing my car for the past 4 years while at school.
