Walmart - Bad Oil Change!

Rainman1999> If you've taken your car there for years without any problem, why would you let one bad incident ruin all the other times you've left a happy customer? Give em' a shot at rectifying the situation. Nobody is perfect. If they don't remedy the problem, then I'd give them the old heave-ho! Best of luck!

If you've taken your car there for years without any problem...you got lucky.

Though I underdatnd the spirit of the first reply, I beg to differ. You've been lucky that your car wasn't messed up a lot sooner. WalMart does not employ mechanics I would ever work on my car. It isn't worth going cut rate on "routine" work like this, especially since these days cars can go a lot farther between oil changes. Put in synthetic and you can go even longer.

I wouldn't trust Walmart to oil the door hinges let alone change the oil.

trmn8r> The issue isn't whether or not you trust Walmart to work on your vehicle, or the overall disdain you carry for the company. The OP has trusted them in the past, and that is all that matters. The fact is that the OP has only had a single bad experience over the span of several years. I think they should be given another chance. Not for your sake, or mine (I don't care for Walmart either), but for the sake of the OP who has otherwise had exemplary service there.
