I called on Monday on the first of my 3 days off to see if I can get my oil pan gasket repaired like I'd been meaning to. They said it would be about $250 and Wednesday morning would work if I'd drop it off in the morning when they open. So I dropped it off at 715am and called around 2pm after I hadn't heard from them expecting my car to be done or close to done. Turns out they hadn't even looked at my car yet. Then they told me they had to fix the oil (?) sensor and wanted to do a blue dye diagnostic test. I paid about 150 for that.
After about 3k miles I went back and they told me what I had told them in the first place. Its probably the oil pan gasket and its 250. They also said it could be something else that cost 850. I'd invested so much I decided to go for it. Maybe they're just thorough right?
So a week later I went out of town for a few days and came back and sure enough, oil is still leaking out of my car. So it must be an $850 repair thing.
However, I'm a bit annoyed that they try to make you schedule an appointment every time, but they don't have the same respect for your time. After that first time, the next one I asked them how long it would take (a couple hours) so I scheduled to come in first thing (7am). When I asked them if it would be done by noon they wouldn't even promise me that at first! That's 5 hrs for something that takes 2hrs according to them. So for that I don't think they're the auto repair shop for me.
