“Dealer” refers to service centers that specialize in one or two makes and sell those vehicles. As a franchise dealer:
They use top-quality manufacturer-recommended or “official” parts
Parts usually come with a manufacturer's warranty - ask the dealer about this as details may vary
They have the highest level of training and knowledge, and their labor rates may reflect this
Total Estimate:
Parts
$32 - $40
Labor
$41 - $51
“Independent” refers to a service center that services multiple makes instead of specializing. In addition:
They don't sell vehicles
Because they can use non-official or aftermarket parts, their pricing might seem lower
Independents tend to be generalists with a broad level of knowledge and training on many vehicles
Price includes parts and labor
About Oil Change
An oil change is the act of replacing the oil and oil filter in your car, truck or SUV’s crankcase. Oil has a limited life span and should be changed according to the maintenance schedule in your Owner’s Manual. Many modern vehicles use synthetic motor oil, which only requires an oil change every 7,500–15,000 miles depending on the manufacturer’s recommendation.
