No dealership service for me. Dropped off my almost new truck at the dealer where I had purchased it for oil change and service. Picked it up later that day,the service manager said it was ready to go, paid them and drove home. At home I thought I would check to make sure oil level was ok. The oil was full but looked black as before, looked at the drain plug and filter, still dirty and muddy from off road use the week before. Grease zerks dirty also. The truck had not even been touched. They did it right when I went back as I watched.
Last year my daughter drove up at our house. She said my oil light came on just as I stopped the car. I checked the oil level, empty, she said just came from the dealer for service 10 minutes ago. Looked under the car NO oil drain plug. Oil streak down the drive and up the street about for 200 yards. Where the oil stopped lay the drain plug in the street. I know there are dependable techs out there for sure, its just hard to weed out the bad ones. It is a lot of work to do all my service and brake work my self but I get a lot of peace of mind knowing its done right when the safety of my family is at risk.
