Went to Chinamart today. Needed oil change so figured good time to have it done.
Did the shopping. Went to pay for vehicle service, clerk told me the service tech had a note on the bill to take vehicle to mechanic because it was running awful... I says " It was running fine when I drove over here" but paid my bill and went to the car.
Started car.....*spatter* *sputter* cough*. Wouldn't idle. So I am madder than a wet hen, go back in, maintenance supervisor must have encountered the look on my face, before
because he almost ran over to me.
"Is there a problem" says he...Says I, "yeah...when I came in here my car ran fine, its funny its needing to go to car hospital after your tech worked on it..did he knock something loose or what" So he summoned the tech ...tech says " We just did an oil/filter, air filter change, checked fluids, standard maintenance" I will go back out... Ok....he popped the hood, kinda looked around, wiggled a few wires, Jeeze...
Long story short....got the car home praying all the way....Had son-in-law come over, he removed the air filter cover and the filter wasn't seated... just kinda laying there, he seated filter, started car and it was perfect. Just as it was when I drove over..... Anyhoo I will call them tomorrow and I will be nice and just tell them what the problem was and hope they learn to be more careful.
You would think they would have offered to retrace their steps and solved a very simple mistake..... but noooooooooooooooooooo
Cant tell you how happy I am that the old girl is ok.......
