Re: $24.95 for an oil change, not bad, is it?

In any event, I have an appointment with the Toyota dealer (bringing it in for the squeaky brakes issue) for next Saturday and when I asked about an oil change, they said it costs $24.95 for 5W-20. I asked if they had 0W-20 and he said yes, same price for either grade.
Based upon the posts/threads that I've been reading, that sounds like a good deal, isn't it?
Firestone said it would be $100.

That's pretty typical for a dealer oil change in my neck of the woods (Detroit).
