Where's the Best and Cheapest Place for an Oil Change in Idabel or Broken Bow?

If you want in and out, Jiffy Lube is the only quick-lube chain in the county and it has a shop in each town. Idabel's is at 1603 SE Washington St, (580) 286-7508, and Broken Bow's is at 1100 N Park Dr, (580) 584-5829. Both are open 8 AM to 7 PM Monday through Friday and 8 to 5 on Saturday, closed Sunday. No appointment; you can stay in the car or wait in the lounge with free Wi-Fi.

Every oil change comes with a free top-off of motor oil and other fluids for the next 3,000 miles, which is a nice perk if you drive a lot of county roads. Prices depend on the oil your vehicle takes, so call or use the estimate tool on its location page, and check that page for coupons before you go. The Idabel shop was a Kwik Kar for years, so if a neighbor sends you to Kwik Kar, it is the same building.

Small independent shops here usually beat the chains on price, and they will tell you the cost over the phone. Copeland Fast Lube at 600 SE Washington St in Idabel, (580) 286-7935, is a longtime family gas station with a lube bay, open Monday to Friday 8 to 5 and Saturday morning. Customers describe it as fast, honest and reasonably priced. Ask whether they will install oil and a filter you bring yourself for a labor-only charge, which is the cheapest route short of doing it in the driveway.

Morgan's Auto Repair at 951 Belpine Loop in Broken Bow, (580) 450-1389, is a family-owned full repair shop that has been at it more than 20 years. Its lube, oil and filter service includes 5 quarts of oil for most cars and light trucks, and it works on all makes and models. Hours are Monday to Friday 9 to 5, so call first thing to get on the schedule.

Discount Tire & Alignment at 2001 S Park Dr in Broken Bow, (580) 584-5200, is a tire and alignment shop that also does oil changes and routine maintenance, open 7:30 to 6 on weekdays and 7:30 to 1 on Saturday. Eskew's Garage and Towing at 307 Old Broken Bow Hwy, (580) 236-1535, is a general repair garage that can do one as well; call for hours.

James Hodge Chevrolet of Broken Bow at 1207 S Park Dr, (580) 584-3600, and James Hodge Ford Lincoln at 1711 SE Washington St in Idabel, (580) 286-7676, both advertise free oil changes for life on vehicles bought from them. If you bought your truck at either store, that is your cheapest oil change by far.

Both service departments also work on other brands and use factory-trained technicians, so a newer vehicle under warranty is in good hands. Dealer oil changes usually cost more than the quick-lube shops, so ask for a price when you schedule, and watch their service specials pages.

The absolute cheapest oil change is the one you do yourself. Parts House at 12 N Broadway St in downtown Broken Bow, (580) 584-3301, is the family-owned parts counter that has served the town for almost 30 years; it stocks Wix filters and oil and the staff can look up the right filter for your vehicle. It is open 7:30 to 6 on weekdays and 7:30 to 1 on Saturday. Walmart in Broken Bow and the Idabel Supercenter sell oil and filters too, just not the service.

Used oil has to go somewhere. Many parts stores and quick-lube shops take used motor oil for recycling, so ask at the counter when you buy, and never pour it on the ground or down a drain.
