Many/Most places use 18-20 yr olds that barely know where the hood release is at for oil changes.

Should sue them..

@@AutoRepairTips757 I hope its a easy case for sure. Nothing but bull shit with this.

Same thing happened to me last year. I took my new suburban to the dealer for its third oil change. They didn’t put oil in it and blew the engine. The 6.2 was 8 grand. Fortunately they owned up to it and put a brand new 6,2l engine in it. However the workmanship was not the best and I wound up trading it in on a new one.

That’s crazy

Years ago I took my 01 Acura TL to the dealership for an oil change and noticed it was leaking oil when I got it back. Turns out, they over torqued the drain plug and stripped the threads. I wound up having to pay for a new oil pan thanks to their mistake. I vowed never to take my car to a dealership for service again. This story reinforces my decision. What that dealership did was inexcusable, and I think the owner has the grounds to sue for the cost of the engine replacement.

Smart, find a shop you can trust and stick with them

Why didn't she file a claim with insurance? Comprehensive claim would have likely been approved and they would go after dealer

She did contact the insurance they did get involved, but they had a hard time for some reason proving that the dealer ship did anything wrong. I’ve been in business 86 years. This is the worst I’ve ever seen any person treated by a dealership. The insurance company was very polite, but they were no help.

At this point It is Time to get the STATE involved this is not easy and there is in most States there is some thing Called assured drive-ability if you have all the receipts for the work this action goes after the license of the dealer if they worked on the CAR or TRUCK the Lawyer is one way the other and can not be the same , as the State Action the Lawyer can help but can not do it there is reasons both actions should get the bill paid i know of this in the workings of this KEEP> ALL THE PAPER WORK YOU WILL NEED IT each State is different hope this helps GOOD LUCK

If the dealership never put oil in the engine the dealership is on the hook for the engine not the customer.

Thanks sir. That's why I started to oil changes and all other maintenance items on my cars after bad experience with Jiffy.

Missing something here... need to here the other side's story/explanation. Something not adding up at all...

How is the dealer not responsible.

I cannot even count how many vehicles ive seen just leave a quick lube and only made it a mile down the road ! No oil - doubled up filter gasgets - or caught fire from missing oil caps ! And the hoops you have to jump thru getting reimbersed ! Ya it sucks !!

I couldn’t agree more

that's why do my own oil changes I don't trust any shop and the customer should take them to court and charge them out the nose for this and say the one that did the work and goofed up

I can do you one better! My buddy Mani just paid $16,000 to replace his motor on his 2023 BMW M1000RR Competition with a whopping 470 miles on it! They refused the warranty claim due to a 250rpm over rev allegedly. There really are some 💩y businesses out here in the world. I own a 2022 BMW M1000RR Competition & 2020 BMW S1000RR Competition and I'm pretty disgusted with the entire situation. Awesome job on doing what you could for these people and hopefully you earned a lifetime a customer.

wow scarry news for BMWs, you didnt say why a 23 bmw with 470 miles needed a whole engine. Could you tell me the reason he needed an engine ?

The long way is the right way. Less hassle in the long run, and less broken shit. When you do it you know its done right the first time

if that was my truck I would do a DOD or AMF delete , but its up to the customer .

I didn't watch past the on minute mark because you didn't out the incompetent dealer and why they didn't warranty their shoddy work and I don't need to watch you change an engine. One long run-on sentence there.

I am surprised that these new engines do not have a shut down for low oil pressure.

Thanks for sharing, i go to a mechanic for anything more than maintenance. Its just too complicated for me

Id call the police, have a report written for vandalism. The dealership intentionally drained the oil, didnt refill it and blew it up on purpose. Make a video of the oil level, engine noise.

They should have done a lot of things different, but this happened back in November. It sat there till February they even got insurance and a lawyer involved, but it was too late the dealer ship had already added oil. They we’re screwed.

You would have to prove that they did it intentionally but the dealerships liability insurance should have covered the engine and replacement since it was in their care and control. I've heard too many horror stories about oil change places forgetting to add oil, tighten drain plugs, dropping rags into the engines. I do my own oil changes if I F up and forget something it's on me never trusted quick change oil places or dealerships never will!

Do your own oil changes. Or have somebody that knows what they are doing do it for you

I’m surprised she doesn’t just go to an oil change place where you stay in the car. Instead she went to the rip off artist dealers who sell cars for too much and do repairs for too much. Funny how they turned messing up the car into an opportunity to do a really expensive repair. You could buy a great vehicle for 13 k especially if you didn’t buy it at the dealer

This is my first time coming across your channel. I’m just wondering why your sister wouldn’t take it to you for an oil change instead of the dealership. I’m just a few seconds in, but it looks like you’re doing a great job. I’m sure you could handle an oil change and she wouldn’t be in the situation.
