It's been my experience that these places will always find a reason
to charge you more money. They lure you in the door with inexpensive
oil changes and then sell you air filters or wiper blades at triple
the price you could buy them at Walmart.

"No, thanks, I don't need my wipers changed, air filter changed,
radiator flushed or injectors cleaned."

I take care of the little stuff myself and then let them muck around
with changing the oil. :^)

How did they "clean" you injectors? Did they just dump something in
your gas tank? You can buy fuel injector cleaner anywhere and dump
it in your tank on your own (at a greatly reduced price).
