Since my local dealership wanted close to $300 for an oil change on my 2004 525i, I am looking for substitutes. I am looking for a place to not only replace my oil and oil filter, but to check all fluids and replace, etc.
Does Jiffy Lube carry BMW oil? Are there any other good places you guys can recommend in the Los Angeles area that I can take my car?
Thanks guys

The delaer only charged me 120 for an oil change including a new oil filter and labor.
But to answer your question, I would go to a shop that is a little more expirienced with higher end cars.
My local Aamco is very capable. When you do go to another shop just make sure you buy the right oil filter and oil so they don't put some cheap stuff in your car.

Ft. Myers BMW quoted $130.00. Did it myself! DIY topic great help on my first try. Ow 40 mobil 1, Mann filter, $57.90. Knowing it's actually done correctly PRICELESS!!
Also, I found that the bottom panel was soaked with oil so I stayed away and let the dealer handle it so they couldn't blame me for leaks.
Turns out I had 4 different leaks going on down there...
