To be perfectly honest (and I may catch flak for this), I have taken my daily drivers (and my C6) to Mobil 1 Express in Red Deer for 10 years. I have gotten to know Aaron (owner) pretty well. He is a licensed mechanic and his staff have been with him for a long time. They have a pit in each of the three bays (no hoist) and the customer drives his own vehicles in and out. They are very thorough and careful, will let me get greasy with them if I like, and comes the time (next change), I don't think I would hesitate to use them for my C7. Price wise, I take my 7.3 litre Powerstroke Ford there and just over 14 litres of synthetic Mobil 1 for Turbo Diesels, an oil filter the size of a 5 gallon can... (slight exaggeration), lube with all the trimmings, costs me $ 140.00 give or take. He gives regulars 10% off so about $154.00. Would I trust a lube shop I didn't know?... Probably not, but the same goes for a dealership I didn't know...
