Little old lady customer of ours, last did the oil change on her 2001 Taurus with 14k miles about 8 months ago and exactly 23 miles ago.

Tried to explain to her she doesn’t need it but she insisted, she does not want to break down.

"Don't try to down-sell me, just change the oil."

Used to do these for our elderly clients. I think they enjoyed chatting with the owner and other customers over a cup of coffee. Seems like the oil change was just a reason to get out of the house and do something.
