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.

Irv
