Oil change in Atlanta
We are looking for a place to get our oil changed in Atlanta or nearby (Gwinnett/Lawrenceville/Loganville area) because we are not doing it ourselves.
We contacted the Ford Commercial Vehicle Center because we’ve seen post saying they can refer you to Ford dealers than can accommodate RVs. They referred us to four dealers and Peach State Ford is the only one that could handle our 32’ RV and they quoted $150 + materials for an oil change.
Is this the average rate in Atlanta or has anyone used another place in the area? We are not changing the oil ourselves, so we are just looking for additional options. We have a gas Sunseeker 3010DS.

Wow
That is highway robbery. It costs me $35 in material. You know dealers are not paying as much as the normal consumer. I asked a local ford dealer last year how much and he quoted me $115 which I thought was to much. At $150 that dealer wouldn't get my business.

Wow! That seems high! I haven’t looked to see what you have but I can’t imagine your V10 being that much different than mine. I had mine serviced in Florida and everything totaled about $60. This did not include the genny.

Call Krause Family Ford (formerly named Cherokee Ford) in Woodstock at 770-592-0090 and talk to their service department. See Here They have done oil changes on my motor homes in the past for around $50 to $60.

We are south of Atlanta and our regular mechanic charges no mor than for our car and truck. Although I think he should. However when we have been on the road, we have used Jiffy Lube several times and they do just fine and are very reasonable. They usually have higher bay doors also.

We had our 3010DS oil and filter done at our Ford dealer here in Iowa for $75.00, (including a tire rotation).

We have used Snellville Auto Center for several years for oil change on our 30' Forest River Georgetown MH as well as other vehicles. They work on buses, larger vans, etc. They are very reasonable, professional, and personable. Voted "best in Gwinnett" 2013-2017. Located on HWY 78, phone #770-972-3799.

Rush Truck Center in Oklahoma City is $100. Check there for one. Also check Penske Truck Center, the tow truck driver when he towed my MH recommended them.

Oil Change
I also would recommend Snellville Auto Center for any of your needs. I have been using them for approx. 30 years. They not only do my personal vehicles but also any vehicles I maintain for our church, which at one time included a 60 passenger bus. Very honest and trustworthy.

We have always had our oil changed at Speedco... Fast, reasonable prices and they can accommodate any size rig. They change generator oil and filters as well. I see now the Love's has acquired speedco. I don't know what changes that brings, but there is a location in Atlanta:
#909 Conley, GA
I-285, Exit 53
4136 Old McDonough Rd
Conley, GA, 30288
Here's a map to all Speedco locations

We had a HORRIBLE experience with Peach State. Christopher Trucks in Piedmont, SC is worth the drive. Brian can help you out. They are fairly priced and don’t mess stuff up that is totally unrelated to the reason you’re there, unlike Peach State.

I’ve seen some Class C units being serviced at Akins Ford/Dodge in Winder (close to you). Don’t know their prices but they are competitive when doing oil changes for gas and diesel pickups and have never had any problems with their work.

There are several Speed Co's in the area and Length isn't a problem.

I heard that the OP drove to PA, drilled, pumped and refined some crude then had Jake and Leroy change the oil. All for a buck three eighty. They are now happily on their way to their destination.
