Generally no one works on my vehicles but me. Unless it's a factory recall or warranty work. Because i only own Toyotas, there is no warranty work.
But a lot of recalls.
I've got the extended service on my new Kawasaki, also. But only because the replacement parts are crazy expensive and things that are generally not repairable.
Something special for you Ed. ;) Hope you like it. :D

I service my own vehicles (with factory parts.)
I got lazy once and took an old Toyota into jiffy lube for a manual transmission oil change. They left the oil out. Two hours later, my transmission locked up. They bought me a used unit. I installed it myself.
Years before I had a brand new car. My first new car. The robot installed oil filter would NOT come off. I took my oil and my oil filter to them for them to install for me. Short story. They damaged my radiator. Fixed it only after a bunch of phone calls. So for the next four years I got to look at a big blob of weld on my brand new radiator on my new car.
Both times, they also tried to upsell me things that I didn't need.
Now I will no longer go there and will tell my story when I can.
Wow, crazy. Speaking of not filling the oil, my steering wheel was a bit stiff when i was driving. I forgot to check to make sure there was fluid in there.
But its terrible how people that get paid to work on cars can do this. I'm sorry this happened to you. If i knew how to do everything I would do it myself also. My dad knows some but wont teach me any. All i can do is change my battery, and change a tire, only cause I saw my supervisor do it. :(

It all sounded great :eek: until you got to the "spleen sausage."

Gosh, hope your breathing settles down. :(
