Even if you aren't handy with a wrench, at least take the truck to an Advance Auto or Auto Zone for stuff like batteries and bulbs.

Example, when I bought my Optima battery at Advance Auto, they offered to come out and install it for me for free (I declined and took it home and did it myself). They also would have given me (not charged me) $5.00 if I gave them my old battery (I decided to keep it since it wasn't dead).

Had I bought a pair of brake light bulbs there (about $4.00), they would've offered to come out and replace the bulb free, too. Extra bonus, if you watch how they do it - you'll know how to do it yourself the next time (now that you have an extra bulb on hand).

The disposal fee you were charged essentially means that your $29 oil change effectively cost about $48.
