I took my car for an oil change that would have cost me approximately $500. The manager swore that the mechanic could not remove the plug that drains the oil, he witnessed it, that I would have to buy a oil pan that I may not need, but could not be refunded. The cost would be albout $500, to get my oil changed. I took my car to my mechanic today who said that the plug was easily removed, with a wrench and he did the entire job for less than $100. So here is my conclusion: I was being ripped off, or the mechanic there needs to be replaced and the manager needs to check out the situation himself. I have been doing my oil change there for years, so if the plug was striped and damaged. it was done by someone there. I won't be back there to have any oil changes and I'm letting everyone I know about my situation.
