Default Oil Changer

My friend was concerned about an oil leak under his Vette.Said it was getting worse.I suggested we look at it.Very quickly,we discovered the oil filter was loose.He had gone to Oil Changer for the "service." Tightened filter,and that was it....
Sure would like to be there when he visits them tomorrow !!!

It is sure good to have friends some times even if just to get a second opinion. Good catch

Thats pretty sad, but what can you do?

Bitchin' will only make you feel better, but wont accomplish anything.

They can give you some free oil change coupons, but then you'd have to go back and trust them to do it right the next time.

I'd just count my blessings that I discovered it before anything happened and I'd kick myself for letting some schmucker touch my Vette.

B.....

His intent was just to tell them...he says they let you come back for free oil top off during the 3000 mile period,but he won't be doing that either..live and learn...just lucky that filter did not get any looser because the oil would be gone very quick....
