I also do all my own services and repairs but, I work at a shop! If you ever feel the need to search for an honest shop then please do so. We’re like sex workers, people are scared to use us. My buddy was one of lawleys 2 best ford techs. His words "i wouldnt let anyone there even change my oil execept one guy". He got furlowed during covid while they kept the hacks that cost less. That pissed him off enough to start his own shop. Anyone need a Ford guy? He had the same 6.0 diesel as me so he's awesome with them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucafu1 Report post Posted September 10, 2020 This thread reminds me why I never have done side jobs.🤣 I would be pissed! How much oil did they add. That would tell you how screwed you are. No oil pressure gauge, low oil pressure light? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaton Report post Posted September 10, 2020 Happened to my cousins gmc. It doesn't take much run time with no oil to do bad things. It may not have blown your motor, but it put a lot more wear internally than you think. They ended up paying to put a new engine in my cousins truck. My father who is A 40 year ase certified mechanic. He contacted them for my cousin and had a talk with them and no questions asked. New motor put in free of charge. You may not get that deal without a fight though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted September 10, 2020 14 hours ago, Curtis Reed said: I haven’t had anyone touch my car’s oil pan in 15 years. I just don’t trust anyone. Especially WalMart or express places. I had a similar experience when Fletcher's was in town. They were supposed to do a complete fluids change on my truck but they failed to replace the rear end grease. I made it up to San Juan County, Ut. loaded up the truck and trailer with hay bales and made it about 70 miles back, breaking down near Mexican Water on the Navajo Res. Not a drop of oil in the rear end/axle. Cost me several days broke down along the road, before the only bright spot in the misadventure, a sympathetic Navajo family took me in. Meanwhile my ol lady in Phoenix searched for an affordable axle. In all I spent two weeks with the Begay family. They shared everything they had with me out there in the middle of nowhere and they didn't have a lot. I have tried to repay them again and again. I filled their barn with hay, paid for help replacing the axle and still drop in with groceries. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ringer Report post Posted September 10, 2020 Yes. They just called and are sending a letter on Toyota letterhead that if anything happens to the engine they will guarantee it. Will be signed by the tech and the service manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
