ok, an oil change that seems too cheap to be true... beware...
A FREE oil change from anyone besides WalMart... stay away!
Free lunch, yada yada yada. These people are not generous, nor can they afford to be. They're also probably not stupid. If you end up going to Tires Plus for this offer, be prepared to deal with some unpleasant business (might as well be visiting a timeshare salesman).
Edit: I expect a few reds from people who are excited about the free service, but it's for the greater good

Agreed, if it is a legit coupon, be prepared for a hard upsell of things you probably don't need. They'll try to scare you and say you need a new belt because the one on your car looks like it's going to break at any minute, etc... Anyway, I don't trust anyone at places like this to do ANYTHING to my car. They don't give a rip about you or your car, and why should they? Especially if they're giving you something for free*.
*coupon says a $2.50 recycled oil fee will be charged. That's probably just the tip of the iceburg.
LeonProfessional said:be wary, some websites have photoshop guys making fake coupons that look genuine
some stores have caught on to this too and are taking action against people bringing in the fake coupons
i have no idea if this is one of those fake ones, but considering the supposed "deal" here, just wanted to say something about itTake action. Put some salt into the offender's car!!!
I had a horrible experience with my local TIRE PLUS. I got four tires from them and they said free life time rotation. After around six months I went for tier rotation. The mechanic said I need to change one of my tier since it is about to burst and it does not cover under warenty. It cost me $90. They also sold me insurance for $80 incase if the same things happen again. During the pick up I ask them to show the damage to the tier and he told that it’s been already sent for recycle. I am sure it’s their trick. I am sure your free oil change cost you couple of hundred dollars. Please stay away from TIRE PLUS.

Who pays to replace a tire without looking at the old one? Especially when the tires are only 6 months old?
Be aware that they will be using a synthetic blend. If you drive a euro car and have been using a full synthetic I wouldn't put this in my car if it was still under warranty. You shouldn't change oil types frequently.

Bring a plastic sack and ask for the filter back in order to save the $2.50 charge. Then after you're done and in your car hand the plastic sack with filter back to the attendant and ask them nicely to dispose of it. evil:
