You must have a cat with opposable digits...... I will assume you aren't rich and wouldn't mind saving $25 dollars doing something that is so easy my cat could probably do it.

It is amazing that someone would pay for a filter replacement, when most of the time it takes to install it, is opening up the package the new filter is in.
I've cured many friends from this unnecessary and expensive habit by demonstrating just how easy it is to do this task. AFAIK, all have kicked the habit. A little knowledge goes a long way.
Back when I let a dealer do maintenance, I would tell the service writer up front that I already changed my filters, and if they "replaced" them, I wasn't going to pay for them.
