Oil Change Shop Failed To Drain My Oil… Now My Car Has 5k In Repairs Needed.
A few weeks ago before I went on vacation I was needing an oil change. After a few days after taking it for the oil, I felt something wrong with the car and then suddenly was having acceleration issues and was forced to take it to the mechanic just days before I went out of town. They advised that it would be held for a few days before it got looked at so I unfortunately needed to now get a rental car for vacation.
Fast forward to the week that I’m away, the mechanic calls and tells me that my car is severely overfilled with oil (Holds 4.5 quarts and was filled with approx. 8) causing it to spill over into my turbo charger, spark plugs, and catalytic converter, and rendering them dead.
My car has less then 30k miles on it, was a newer model, and was taken care of. And now because the oil change place didn’t actually change my oil I’m hit with a 5k bill. How do I go about having the oil company take responsibility for these damages?
