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

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.

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!!!!

New or used car engine option: Had an oil change done. The next day, engine "seized?" on major highway.

Smoke billowed up sides of car. Got out with child and pet. Reputable mechanic determined that wrong engine oil filter was used causing all the oil to come out. There was no oil in car when arrived in mechanics shop after tow. Est. cost to replace with new engine $5,700; used engine $3,700. Car is 2001 Camry with 73,000 miles. Need advice. How am I made %26quot;whole%26quot;?New or used car engine option: Had an oil change done. The next day, engine %26quot;seized?%26quot; on major highway.I was extremely lucky years ago. Went to national oil-change place, and just before they brought out my car, they discovered they'd put the wrong filter on, so I'd have ended up like you!!



Definitely sue. Try going to %26quot;%26quot;Handel On the Law.com%26quot; (minus any spaces), look up in your area a lawyer who will give a free estimate or appraisal of your case.



But I noticed you didn't say WHO had changed the oil. Obviously, if you did it yourself, you're out of luck. If a business did, then sue them.



But if there's no one to sue, then just get another car. Don't think it's worth the hassle of getting new engine. To me, the car would always be %26quot;tainted%26quot;. I wouldn't have faith in the car anymore.New or used car engine option: Had an oil change done. The next day, engine %26quot;seized?%26quot; on major highway.Sue the shop that changed the oil. Either wrong filter or the old rubber gasket was stuck to the engine %26amp; they didn't remove it before putting on the new filter. Tell them you want a new engine, they will probably settle for used.New or used car engine option: Had an oil change done. The next day, engine %26quot;seized?%26quot; on major highway.Did you get a oil light that came on? That would have been the time to pull over and shut the engine off.



I would contact the people that did the oil change and see what they say. If they don't accomadate you, then it is time to file a complaint with the BBB and then to contact a lawyer. Get a statement from the mechanic that determined that the wrong oil filter was used. You should have a good case. good luck.

An upgrade kit was added to my Triumph, how many miles till I change the oil?

I have a 2003 Triumph Bonneville, it has about 22,000 miles on it but that doesn't matter, I installed a Wiseco upgrade kit in it, 800 to 900 ccs. It has a new piston and a new sleeve in the cylinder. I've run it one or two hundred miles. Okay, this is just my thinking, I thought I'd run it a while, a %26quot;break-in%26quot; period using the oil that was in it and then put in a fresh filter and load of synthetic oil. I don't know if people do this anymore. My thought was the oil would pick up any contaminants or pieces of metal, and then would be flushed out with a new oil change. Considering that I've decided to do this already, how many miles would you run it before the new change, 100, 200, 1000 miles, more? thanksAn upgrade kit was added to my Triumph, how many miles till I change the oil?I'd do 500 making sure I didn't lug the engine at all during break in. I'm just wondering if you are running synthetic now. I've heard tell that synth makes bedding of the new rings a problem. I've also heard that switching from dyno oil, if that's what you are using, to synth can deprive seals of certain swelling agents that may cause them to weep a bit. YMMV! Your plan otherwise seems sound.An upgrade kit was added to my Triumph, how many miles till I change the oil?500 miles or less good

Please help! I'm starting a little business w/ cars: an at-your-home service oil change, etc? tagline, other?s?

My plan is to offer a service where I will be going to people's homes to change their oil at a discounted price. I will provide the oil and disposal and the whole idea is that it will be convenient for ppl and cheaper! They get to choose the type of oil and oil change they get. I'll also be offering other services such as lubrication, tire gauge check, air, vaccuum, repairs (broken side view mirror, etc) BUT i'll mainly be advertising the oil change.



soo..i have some questions and I would appreciate any help, thank you! These are my questions:



1) What's a good tagline? I'm so bad at this, but I'm thinking %26quot;have your oil changed at the convenience of your own home%26quot;..id like something that's more catchy though



2) how can i establish credibility and trustworthiness? i don't have a certificate, but i've been working with my/family's/friends' cars for years.



3) What title would sound best (most official, most professional)? In other words, what can I call myself? Professional Oil Changer? (I also do other things, so idk about that...) I need a good title, pls help!



4) How much should I charge for my services?



any other advice? thank you so very much!!Please help! I'm starting a little business w/ cars: an at-your-home service oil change, etc? tagline, other?s?First: Research what the professional oil change services charge in your area. Set up your charge to be somewhat less. You can do that because you don't have a heavy overhead in building and rack rental. You probably will have to buy a ramp to drive their car up on to change the oil, cost of containers and cost of oil disposal. Think about the other costs and set your price schedule accordingly.

Secondly: %26quot;tagline%26quot;? I think you mean %26quot;business slogan%26quot; for advertising purposes. First I'd get a business name. %26quot;John's Home Auto Service%26quot;, then figure out the slogan... %26quot;Save Money, Let John Do It%26quot; comes to mind.

Thirdly: Print up some flyers announcing your new service. Stress it's cheaper and more convenient for you to come to them than they to go to the oil change place and include your lowest price (and make sure you indicate that some changes are more expensive... include something like: %26quot;From 99-cents up%26quot; or the Price and the word %26quot;up%26quot; by it. Pass out the flyers everywhere you can, cars in parking lots at Wal-Mart, on outside advertising boards, Craigs List in your local area (that's free)...

There's more work involved than just going out to change someone's oil and charging them for it... it's called %26quot;the wonderful world of being in business for yourself%26quot;.

Good Luck!Please help! I'm starting a little business w/ cars: an at-your-home service oil change, etc? tagline, other?s?The EPA will be watching you like a hawk and you will need a lic to haul the oil.Not easy to get that kind of a license.Good luck

How much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?

My dealership in Washington State used to do it for free, now I've moved and I need to budget it inHow much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?Not sure which engine you have, but the F150 XT with the 4.6L V8 engine, uses a Fram oil filter (PH3600), which costs $3.97 at Rockauto.com.



Kragen/Schucks/Checker sells Mobil 1 synthetic for $6.50 /qt, or Valvoline synthetic for $5.50 /qt. Your truck probably uses at least 5-1/2 quarts, so figure $33 to $39 for the oil.

When they were all done and they said I was good to go, I get to my car and the plastic plate that snaps over my oil tank was on the ground propped against my car. They forgot to put it back in. I had them snap it back in for me and then I left. Then washed my car at their convenient car wash.



I almost got all the way home (remember, I only live half a mile away from this place) and my power steering failed and I couldn檛 turn into my neighborhood. I pulled over to turn off my engine and turn it back on. It worked again. I drove back to the place and asked if they messed with my power steering and what could be wrong with it. Of course, they denied touching my power steering and they came up with the diagnosis that the water from the car wash could have sprayed too much water in the engine and that could cause the steering to malfunction. They said once the water dries up, it should go back to normal. They didn檛 even have a look at my car. I was a little upset that they would give me a diagnosis without even looking. I said okay?and left. The steering failed 4 more times after that.



I have only owned this car for one year and I have driven in pouring down rain with flash floods!! I know water has splashed on the underside of my engine?and I have NEVER ONCE had this problem. And, I have been through that same carwash before! A couple times!



I own an ?5 Saturn Ion with electrical power steering, no fluid involved. Has this situation happened to anyone else? Can water cause the power steering to malfunction? Or was that all a load of bull? If the problem persist, can I take legal action? Can I get the repair done somewhere else and then make them pay the bill? How do I go about doing that?



I personally think that they did something careless. I could have gone on the expressway and gotten seriously injured!! I'm scared to drive my car now.



Any input would be appreciated.Steering is malfunctioning after an oil change. Can I take legal action against the people who did it?i suggest you have your car diagnosed by a qualified mechanic, if he tells you they caused the problem, have him put it on a %26quot;repair estimate%26quot; Then confront the people that changed the oil, if they still deny it have the car fixed, then file a complaint with your local BBB and proceed with small claims at your local court house. Good luck.Steering is malfunctioning after an oil change. Can I take legal action against the people who did it?diagnosis without even looking chnging the cars oil wouldnt have anything to do with power steering and neither would a car wash can you take action wel you would have to prove they done something to cause it to fail which unlikely if you dont trust your shop go else where and have it check but even then wil be hard to say if they done something or not much less prove itSteering is malfunctioning after an oil change. Can I take legal action against the people who did it?As long as you can prove they caused the problem, there is no reason why you shouldn't try to be compensated for the repair. But it's going to be pretty difficult to show proof though. No judge is just going to hear this story and take your word for it so hopefully you have comething more concrete.Steering is malfunctioning after an oil change. Can I take legal action against the people who did it?Sounds fishy. Even if they didn't touch it, the fact is you came to them with a problem and they did nothing about it. that there should have some significance. I mean your steering is kind of an important thing so you could get them on endangerment for failing to take care of a problem.Steering is malfunctioning after an oil change. Can I take legal action against the people who did it?If you just had your oil changed, it is very unlikely that they did anything to the power steering. No reason to. Probably a coincidence. Actually, this is why I quit being a mechanic 35 years ago. I would replace a water pump and next day, maybe the heater blower wouldn't work and the owner would swear I did something because it worked fine before.

Would you use a mobile oil change service?

what do you think about a Mobile oil change service?

I am doing a survey to see how many people would use this service.I have been to walmart and jiffy lube and had to wait 2 hours to get a oil change.So i decided to reserach this idea and found a company that offer a van,equipment and training for 15,000.With tihis service we will come to you.Our customers would be individuals,business complexes and small fleets.We would offer the same service as jiffy or walmart but the difference

is that WILL COME TO YOU.Saving you time and at your convience. All response are important,thanks for you opinion.Would you use a mobile oil change service?Never bring your car to a jiffylube or any oil change place, do it at the dealership and give them the oil or do it yourself.

The oil they put in your car at a jiffylube is pure crap oil that kills your car, it takes only 15 minutes to change oil and it's a lot better knowing what oil you put in your car. You have a great idea, though, millions of lazy people will use your service.Would you use a mobile oil change service?One thing....don't try to make all your money from your oil changes! Make it from selling other services like wiper blade changes, light bulb changes, spark plug/wire changes, air filters, etc.



Thats where your really going to make your money! Trust someone who is in the businesss!

Would you use a mobile oil change service?yes. Great idea.Would you use a mobile oil change service?noWould you use a mobile oil change service?I do my own oil changes...it's cheaper and it's done right.Would you use a mobile oil change service?That sounds like a great idea. I would use the service personaly. From an investment stand point it doesn't seem like their are many barriers to entry though. Your not very protected from some one else doing the same thing.Would you use a mobile oil change service?It's not a bad idea, I could definitely see the elderly, wealthy, and the very busy using this service (You'd probably want to live near these types of people). But, I wonder how much money is really in it for you? I could think of a few problems that could arise from working at other peoples homes, such as oil spills on their drive way etc..

Don't forget you have to pay for gas to drive to these peoples homes. If it's too pricey people may just suck it up and take the car to a cheaper place.

How much does a regular oil change at wal-mart cost?

Is it a good place to take your car? I drive a 2008 Corolla, I just want a cheap %26amp; quick regular oil change. Does anyone know how much it costs? Last time I took it, it was around $21 I believe. K thanks =)How much does a regular oil change at wal-mart cost?Wal Mart is the best deal going. 21 bucks? You must be using cheap regular oil in your car. Most people are changing over to full synthetics. The oil costs more but you change it less often. I only change the oil in my Cummings diesel every 7500 miles, but I also use a full synthetic 10w40 oil.How much does a regular oil change at wal-mart cost?18.99 for a small car/truck that takes 5 quarts of oilHow much does a regular oil change at wal-mart cost?somewhere between 20-40 dollars,depends on how much oil.

Do you really need experience to work at a oil change job at 18 years old?

I heard you dont need experiance and they train you,but then i hear you need to have exprience which makes no sense if they train you,well can anyone tell me what you need in order to work at a oil change place,and how much is it an hour for a 18 year old.





Oh and and how much does WAL-MART pay an hour for stocking shelves and i heard it's a 3rd shift job which makes it more comfortableDo you really need experience to work at a oil change job at 18 years old?I can not tell you first hand but I would not imagine that an oil change shop would require experience. They probably would start you out at minimum wage. They only way to know for sure would be to fill out an application %26amp; talk to the manager. I would imagine WalMart would be much the same, although they may have an online source that shows job opportunities available, starting pay, %26amp; benefits.



Good Luck!
