Let's just say I have been down this road before where the dealership did not want to provide warranty work because of me doing a temporary fix on the car before they got it. I use to let the dealer change the oil in one of my cars on a regular basis because they were very reasonable. After one of these oil changes, I notice alot of oil on the floor the next morning. Well guess what, oil drain plug was stripped and leaking, and yes it was an aluminum oil pan. I removed the plug, drained the rest of the oil, gooped rtv sealer on the drain plug, and re-installed by hand. I let this set for about two hours and then put oil back in the car. This was my only car and I needed to get to work the next day. Called the dealer, brought the car in for the repair. The dealer did not want to replace the aluminum oil pan, they wanted me to pay for the new pan because I did not want a heli coil repair on the pan. There comment was "how do we know you didn't cause the damage, its obviouse you worked on the car". How do you think this story ends?

Uinique Performance in Dallas had a car show today. Lots (300+) of cars of all kinds...even vettes. Anyway when I parked my car I reached for my Dr. Hook as I do when I have to park where I can't keep an eye on my car, well it wasn't there. So I figgured that Van Chevrolet monkey must have taken it out when they had to put the seat back to drive it. since I was close I went by there. Lone Saturday service writer took me back to the trim shop but we couldn't find it. He said he would check with them on Monday. They will be buying me a new one if they can't. STRIKE TWO!!!!!!!
