Oil change

Hello there,

Where do you usually go to have a car oil change done ?

Are there any low-cost garages, esp. around the Pfäffikon / Rapperswill area ? I saw a bunch of garages near the Seedamm Center, but don't know any in particular.

Thx for your tips !

There's a Migrol at Seedam that I have used, and they were reasonable. Other than that, every workshop and garage in Switzerland is a major rip-off and there isn't much to choose among them.

If you ever drive across the border, get yr car serviced before you get back...

Re: Oil change

Just in case you're an American and not used to European cars.....Most current European cars do not require any oil changes between services - 20,000 Km is quite usual and no need for anything more.
