Thank you for allowing Lou's Auto Service to change
your oil.

By doing so, you hereby agree to our new EULA, which allows
Lou to add or remove any components from your auto that he
deems
necessary.

These changes may disable your brakes or steering,
or otherwise interfere with your use of your vehicle.
Before driving it, be sure to check Lou's website
which may or may not contain notices about such
changes.

Have a nice day.

I think you need to change it to ( Any Manufacturing
Dealership)  don't know if the rest of you have been
following the news.  But Manufactures are fight not to
release the Auto repair codes that are stored in then on
board computers. Repair shops are having to turn away
business because of it.  Kind of make you want to go
pre-computer or go total electric.
