  • Can a shop charge you to repair damage they did to your car while doing an oil change?

    Ok this is what happened. I took my elcamino in for an oilchange. They changed the oil and when they pulled it out of the garage they jacked around with the shifter and stuck it in gear! They tried to justify it by saying, %26quot;Well not all cars are like that, no matter how you shift they still work, yours needs to be done a special way and we aren't responsible for getting it stuck in gear because you didn't tell us that.%26quot; WTF! I have brought my car in several times and told them this! I didn't on that day but I have before and the guy who did it isn't the one I handed my keys to. They guy I handed my keys too has been told before %26quot;You have to follow through with all the gears even if you don't engage because if you go halfway through one gear and then try to go into another the linkages will jam up.%26quot; AND THEN! This is an easy fix! you crawl up underneath it and realign the linkages, no tools needed. I waited 2 hours for them to make this right before the fatass that f-ed it up approached me and asked if I was going to get someone to come look at it. They tried to say.. oh well we can push it back into the garage later this afternoon and then look at it and tell you how much it will cost to fix it and maybe get around to fixing it tomorrow. What the hell! Its an easy fix and I would have done it myself if i knew how but I've watched my dad do it before and it takes all of what 2 minutes. Aren't they responsible for what they did to my car? Where do they get off trying to charge me and waste my time for something they did!!! They stuck it in 2 gears, refused to take responsibility for what they did, and left me with no car having to walk home 8 miles!!!Can a shop charge you to repair damage they did to your car while doing an oil change?No need to get mad, here is what you do.. ok, you lay under the side of the

    Camino and reach over to the linkage on the transmission and put both of

    them in the neutral position. Be sure to have a wheel blocked to keep from

    rolling over you. The reason it is in two gears because the fork and the shift

    sleeve in your trans have lots of wear and your linkage is sloppy.

    For a simple fix like this they should not have charged you. Keep an old

    towel under the seat for emergency shift linkage adjustment.Can a shop charge you to repair damage they did to your car while doing an oil change?file a complaint with the better business bureau and then sue them in small claims court for damages and fees they are definitely responsible

    How often to change your motor oil in a car?

    Every 3000 miles, or 3 months (alot of places say). Personally, I believe the truth is more in what the owners manual in your car says. For some cars, 7,500mi. may be suggested if you are just using your car for rural highway travel, in normal temperatures. 3,000mi for bumper to bumper traffic, or very hot (or cold) days, beating on your car, ect. ect. One courier driver I used to know, got 400,000mi out of a ford aerostar, changing it every 5,000 miles. MY QUESTION HERE IS WHAT ABOUT TIME? My second car got it's oil changed last December, but only has 2,000 on the oil. Does time matter that much?How often to change your motor oil in a car?myself every 3000 miles and when its changed you can tell it needed doing.



    Or twice a year a have kept to this rule for years and always been fine by me although atm on this car the ol is costing a small fortune.



    If you think there is some life left in your oil then see how clear it looks on the stick and leave a bit longer.



    And i never and always say never buy cheap oil.You have so much running in there why would anyone want crap turning the parts.How often to change your motor oil in a car?I go by the book--chevy suburban-350-every 3000 milesHow often to change your motor oil in a car?3000 miles is right for regular oil, however, if you are running synthetic oil, then the interval can be longer.

    As far as time, change it at the very least once a year in the fall, so that the oil will be able to protect the engine from the winter elements. Twice a year if you are using a straight weight oil, as the viscosity needs are different in winter than in the summer. But %26quot;ALWAYS%26quot; use a quality oil.How often to change your motor oil in a car?info on extended oil change intervals, includes comments from GM: http://www.amsoil.com/redirect.cgi?zo=14

Be sure that the engine is not running when you check the oil.Add more oil if necessary.Do any body know how many quart of motor oil, I need to do a oil change on a 00 Durango 5.9 engine?

    BEST WAY TO USE " SEAFOAM engine flush&" on an Overdue 3.8L oil change 93 bonneville ?

    My brother wants me to change his oil. and run 2 cans of of seafoam through his car..



    Whats the best and proper way to do this?



    Iv used this once, and 4got what i did..and how i did it lol...........



    Guidance needed asap!BEST WAY TO USE %26quot; SEAFOAM engine flush%26amp;%26quot; on an Overdue 3.8L oil change 93 bonneville ?Go here: http://www.seafoamsales.com/

    Get the instructions that are on the can.

    If your brother wants you to use 2 cans, he probably wants one as engine flush, and the other as carbon remover.BEST WAY TO USE %26quot; SEAFOAM engine flush%26amp;%26quot; on an Overdue 3.8L oil change 93 bonneville ?i would definitely run one can through the intake, you can remove the brake booster hose from the manifold and let it _sip_ up the seafoam, if it gets too much too quickly it can stall the engine.



    I think it would be a bad idea to put any in the crankcase unless you immediately change the oil, its better i think to put the second can in the fuel tank.BEST WAY TO USE %26quot; SEAFOAM engine flush%26amp;%26quot; on an Overdue 3.8L oil change 93 bonneville ?DO NOT PUT 2 CANS OF SEA-FOAM IN THE OIL!!! It will wash bearing dry and ruin them.



    He must mean in his gas. But you can put some in the oil but read can before putting in oil, because I think it is about 4 oz. BEST WAY TO USE %26quot; SEAFOAM engine flush%26amp;%26quot; on an Overdue 3.8L oil change 93 bonneville ?Just do a normal oil change. Engine flush will remove the sludge build up that's keeping all your seals from leaking.BEST WAY TO USE %26quot; SEAFOAM engine flush%26amp;%26quot; on an Overdue 3.8L oil change 93 bonneville ?Instructions are on the can.....honest.

    How do you write down that a customer got an oil change done on a reciept?

    HELP, my boss is going to have me alone in the office tomorow while he stepps out and I don't know what to write!!!!

    He's trying to train me, but I want to make myself look like I can handle the job without asking him a ton of questions and embarrass myself.

    He said to put the odometer miles, charge for the service, and the oil change, he said to write anything as long as it says something to that effect. I really don't want to screw up because I begged for a job to help with school!!!!

    He's really cool, but I don't know what to put.(To make a reciept for the customer?)How do you write down that a customer got an oil change done on a reciept?You dont have computers for invoicing? If not, just write down oil\filter\lubrication $28.95How do you write down that a customer got an oil change done on a reciept?don't be afraid to ask him. ask him to write one up for you just so you can see what he wants. no question is ever dumb. you might write it wrong but if he shows you then you will know and there will be no misunderstandings.How do you write down that a customer got an oil change done on a reciept?Just have him write a receipt so you can see how one looks And all you have to do is copy how he done his. If you won't see him tomorrow before you take over then just get one of the old ones that he did for a customer.

  • How much does it cost for a typical oil change for a saab?

    i was just wondering how much it would cost for a saabs oil change. i know saabs are expensiver to fix then a lot of other cars so i was just wondering how much a normal oil change would cost, thanks!!!How much does it cost for a typical oil change for a saab?Older Saab uses regular type oil such as Castrol. About $35.



    Newer Saab, 1998 on, needs Mobil 1 motor oil and it will be about $60.



    You can use regular oil for the newer saab but not advisable.



    How much does it cost for a typical oil change for a saab?about $25How much does it cost for a typical oil change for a saab?$32How much does it cost for a typical oil change for a saab?Get a regular oil change anywhere and ask them to specifically put synthetic oil into your car. Saab's' are known for sludge issues and synthetic helps prevent that. Make sure to change your oil every 4,000 miles too. Don't run it forever or you'll end up with major problems!How much does it cost for a typical oil change for a saab?My Saab oil change is about 55-60$. I don't recommend taking it to a run of the mill quick change place. Take it to a shop that specializes in Saab. (I recommend doing this for all things concerning your Saab.) Use the oil your manual tells you to use. DO NOT USE FULL SYNTHETIC. They will have what you need. I change my oil every 4000 miles and follow the guidelines listed in the manual. This car will last you forever if you treat it right. I mean it IS a Saab, right. :)
