Dealership oil change

w0rM · 01-24-2013, 07:42 PM

We just had some work done on a company Hummer at the stealership. I picked it up and took it home this week to put a few miles on it. 30 miles later, the damn drive shaft came loose. Turns out they forgot to torque all the bolts back when they pulled the engine out to work on it. Idiots.

This is how a few bad dealerships can ruin the majority of other good to great dealerships. Me, I buy my own oil, gasket, filter, and take it to a trusted oil change place (mine happens to be a Russian mafia car wash) along with a pair of ramps and they do the rest for $15 bucks in 15 minutes and I'm on my way. I can see them pour and do the job. They also show me that my oil filter magnet is still around.

Yup.

That is why I drive it up the ramp myself. And yes, no longer scared of being too low. No such thing as being too low my friend. See you at Cerritos in March.

Is it that low now??? I can't wait to see it, lol
I think your car is/will be the most tastefully modded

And the dealer off the 405 and Rosecrans specializes in lowered cars, so I go there!

LOL Alabama!!
