If they only spent 15 minutes, I doubt they did an adequate job.
Maybe, maybe not. This time of the year at a local dealer near us, people drop of hundreds of rigs for winterizing. I think he charges $79, $99 for the largest rigs or ones they have to do additional things like removing built in filter cartridges. He'll line up 30 or more, as many as he can fit on his side lot, in a row every day for a month and a half, and they'll do them all in less than 3 hours using 2 workers in the morning with the pump setup they have mounted to a gator. Then they are pulled to another lot and the owner is required to pick them up that evening so he has room for the next 30-40.
Those people come back every fall so speed evidently is not a factor. They're also not using the over complicated methods you sometimes read about on RV boards, where people take winterizing to the point of anality.
