The picking are slim this time of month. Most of the shops are those $5 shops that want you to do $100 worth of work or put $50 in your gas tank for a $10 fee.
I am parking it until the last 10 days of the month when schedulers usually post the new shops for next month.
With $4 a gallon gas you have to do a lot of $5 shops the same day, it is not worth it.
