Where to get oil change?

We are currently in Galveston, TX and our coach is due for an oil change. One local dealer quoted me $250 if we bring our own oil! I have an appointment with Camping World in Katy, TX for early in January, but the reviews are not very good for that place. I have a 10 AM appointment and I really want to get in and out in a timely matter so we can head west. Can you recommend another place we can take our 40' Class A? Thank you.
  • Speedco, get the genny serviced, chassis lube, tire inspection, all filters changed coolant tested and oil analysis.

    No appointment needed, in and out in an hour or so and you can watch the whole process.

    Cost with all taxes and fees will be around $320 for an ISC engine providing that you change all filters on the coach and the genset.
  • We found a Mom and Pop big rig repair shop. I supply the oil (from Sams) and filter. For $65 they change the oil/filter, dispose of the oil and lube the chassis.
  • We have been very pleased with service from our somewhat local Cummins CoachCare location.

  • We have found that the mobile services provide a very reasonable price. We always furnish the oil and filter. Most of these mobile services are wanting the business and set their prices accordingly. We have found VERY FEW places that can or will change the oil as they can't get the RV in their service bays and will not do it flat.

    We changed our oil ourselves this summer while we were home and once again said never again. We just can't seem to do this job (cross members, terrible placement of drains and filter, no room above the oil filler) without making a terrible mess.
  • Call RV Mobile Lube, they cover the Houston area and they provide excellent, reasonable priced service, number is 866-785-8237.
  • I would find the closest Speedco. They are the least expensive that I have ever found. Here is the one closest to you:
