"I had my oil changed at ASG, instead of at the BMW dealer because I received a free oil change coupon and because it is closer to my home. The coupon specified "semi-synthetic" oil change, and since I usually use all synthetic, I asked about the difference in price. I was told it would cost me $50. Since this would result in a not-so-free oil change, I opted to go with the semi-synthetic. I can't complain about the service. It is what it is, and I have no reason to believe that anything was done wrong. However, being used to the environment at the dealer, I was a bit dismayed at the size of the waiting room and the general lack of cleanliness (since I was one of the first customers that day.) It was also quite noisy, since the only thing between the waiting room and the service area is a pane of glass. But, free is free, and I don't mean to imply that I've never been in a less than pristine waiting room -- especially when having my car serviced. Although I indicated that I would use this company again, that isn't exactly accurate. I would only use them if the cost was appreciably less than it would be elsewhere. If it costs $90 at ASG for a synthetic oil change and $95 at the dealer, I will continue to have my oil changed at the dealer. The reason is strictly one of comfort. The dealer provides a large, very clean waiting area. ASG's waiting area is smaller than my bedroom, which under ordinary circumstances might not be that bad. However, I had the misfortune of spending my hour waiting with a woman, a toddler and a baby. While the woman played on the computer provided (nice touch), the baby cried, and the toddler (in my opinion) was ill-behaved. Even after her mother asked her to leave me alone, she persisted in standing 6" from me. When I asked her to take the pen she was holding away from my skirt as it was making ink marks, her mother became suddenly attentive. She told her daughter (not soto voce) that some people don't know how to treat children, and are mean. She went on that way for some time, and I chose to ignore her, which is somewhat difficult when you are sitting only a few feet away. Had the area been larger, I would have had the option of moving away. I mention this incident only to point out that my overall experience was negatively affected by the particular circumstances, and not so much by the service itself. That being said, if you are at all claustrophobic and/or don't want to risk getting stuck in an small room with less than pleasant company, I'd recommend you go elsewhere."
