Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

Hi,

I have a written contract with a local dealership that states I have free oil changes for the life of my car as long as I am the owner (it's not transferable to a new owner of a car). The dealership claims they are under new owners so they do not have to honor the contract I have but they this use the same name, logo, etc. that is present on the contract and they did not send out a notice to the owners with this service. If they do not honor the contract do I have a good lawsuit case if so what would be the monetary amount I should ask for?

I would sue the new owners and the old owners in small claims court. I would ask the court to find that ONE of them is liable to you for free oil changes for life. If you want money, I'd ask for an amount equal to

(([Expected Mileage of Car When you Sell it] - [current mileage]) / 3500) * [Price of Oil Change]

and add attorney's fees to that.

Someone probably owes you free oil changes!!
