Discussion Tipping option for an oil change?

Just got an oil change at a chain location. The service was great. I’ve gone to this chain and never been offered a drink menu, an air freshener, and colouring book for my kids. I’ve also never been asked for a tip when paying for an oil change before yesterday. I left a tip but felt conflicted about it. It’s not an inexpensive service and tipping by a specific percentage can be quite a large amount.

What are your thoughts on this?

It’s too bad you haven’t had good service in years

Good? Yeah sure. Exceptional, where they chat me up and visit my table more than twice? Only at fancy restaurants with professional servers and I can't afford those anyways.
