i think this is their way of saying 'COME BACK WE NEED YOU!

just a speculation but i had a similiar experience recently with my mom's car... had a bit of rust and the dealership (lexus) offered to fix it up. we did buy 2 cars from them and they know we're in the market for another one in the near future so this could be a 'pay it forward' type deal.

not saying that all dealerships are stealerships but damn son... DAMN! trannie, clutch, flywheel, csc/cmc and a oil change on the house? so are you like brad pitt / leonardo di caprio good looks man? lol

I think they probably did it for you. Although also when working as a tech in a shop, there is no experience you can get without doing something physically. I'm sure shops won't make a habit of it, but to train people they need a car. Why would they replace your oil pan unless it was damaged? Just adding another way it could have gone. Could be any reason at this point

Lol! That's funny. No Brad Pitt here!

Funny that you brought up Leonardo di Caprio, he is a very down to earth and a very humble person. A few years ago as I was pumping gas at a chevron station in Hollywood California, I saw a homeless man and his son sitting against the wall asking for money. While waiting, I walked over and gave them some money, not much like 5 dollars. I turned to my right and I saw Leo, he was just wearing some blue jeans, white t-shirt, and a baseball cap. Very casual nothing fancy. So Leo gave them each a sandwich and a soda, and an envelope with money in it. I don't know how much but it was very nice of him. I talked to Leo for a bit and I told him how he was awesome in the movie The Departed. Super kool guy! As he drove off, I noticed that he was driving a civic hybrid not a lambo or anything super expensive. Just wanted to share that story with you guys.

Wow, you got really lucky! Congrats to you! I had the direct opposite experience with Surf City (that is where I got my car) and had nothing but numerous bad experiences with them.

Ok great. Almost bought my Z from them. Ended up in Fontana where you'll probably get the same service.
