I've had other bad experiences at this place but this is the worst. This place is close to my home and I just don't have the time to do it myself.

if u have 2 hr to sit there i bet u can pick out 20-30 min to change the oil

$75!!!!! Mine is $31 at the dealership with motorcraft synthetic blend and includes the multi-point inspection.

I would say new flare no questions.

I agree. I'm starting to get pissed off all over again thinking about how they're gonna nickel and dime me for their own negligence.

I'd be very careful about letting them paint the flare. I've had several paint guys say they can't paint them because it's a textured finish and that the flares come finished from the factory.

Dealership Jacked up my door on my first oil change and just gave it back like i wouldn't notice. Turned into a whole DRAMA! Then or top that, I checked behind them to find they left the old filter on! I was livid! The GM got a "nasty gram" with pictures, since he was too busy to return my call. He sent me some free oil changes, which I, not so kindly, told him, hold his breath and wait on me to return there for "any reason"! AKA - F-OFF!

I have seen a number of threads where a simple oil change becomes a night mare... This is one of the primary reasons I refuse to buy any service contract. I do my own oil changes and never trust the dealer because they have the lowest paid semi-mechanic do them... So its a crap shoot...

^ditto^

The flares are not textured. They are paintable but the are a satin (semi-gloss) finish. Not flat. It requires some skill. If you shoot to much satin clear, it'll be to shiny. If you don't shoot enough, it'll be too flat.

**** that. Make them replace the flare. No question asked. And dont ever go back. Learn to do your own oil changes. I dont trust anyone with my cars.
