Oil change costs $40-$60 for regular cars in Manhattan, probably $50 to $100 for an H2. And most people go to the suburbs. When I had a Jeep, I used to go to a little shop in NJ who charged $20. Nice, honest people. No appointments, though. You show up at 7 am and hope your the first one.
I find generally merchants try to take advantage of the H2. Parking in garages is interesting. You pay a standard $10 premium for an H2 in all parking facilities in NYC. And if it's covered garage (as opposed to a lot) most turn you away, particularly if it's busy. Either you're too tall, too heavy for the elevator, or the guy just doesn't want to think about it unless you slip him a $20.
