I don't trust a lot of people to work on my car either, ESPECIALLY body shops when it comes to paint correction.

PSA: If you ever bring your vehicle to have body work done, tell them to NOT TOUCH the paint. They will happily add swirls in your paint free of charge.

My step-dad had swirls in his Infinity from the dealership that he couldn't ever get out. Drove him nuts

as a collision repair (body shop) owner/operator I take a bit of offense to the generalization. Now unlike some shops, we don't buff regularly besides the occasional denibbing/buffing. How are we supposed to repair vehicles without touching the paint?

2013 jeep rubi - haven't changed the oil yet but I will use wix and castrol synth when I do

Wife's 2010 ford edge - same

Daughter's '01 wrangler- wix and castrol synth high mileage.

Our in house mechanic changes all our oil and he's a meticulous (anal) dude. I've never seen any oil anywhere around, on or in the engine bay when he's done. I don't know his secrets and I don't ask.
