Distressful

On the good side Lou at Dieter?ˆ™s reimbursed me for an oil change and replacing a right axle boot; even though he said they had in fact replaced it nine thousand miles earlier. They also replaced the right and left axle boots at no charge. But, it still wasn?ˆ™t good!!! I could?ˆ™ve had an accident after a simple oil change. My car was smoking so badly I nearly abandon it at an intersection. Lou took the car back from... view more my place then days later when I called to get it back he said it was just some spilled oil. I guess I should consider myself lucky, because he didn?ˆ™t offer to compensate me for my trouble, loss of use of the car, or the fact that my previously clean car was now filthy under the hood from a lot of spilled oil. Later, while getting my oil changed elsewhere, the mechanic said my axle boot was broken and the grease was gone so I needed to replace the whole axle at triple the cost of what I?ˆ™d already paid Dieter?ˆ™s to replace the boot! Lou said they did in fact do the original work and that it?ˆ™s not only possible but normal for rubber axle boots to break within 9K miles. I explained my car hadn?ˆ™t been driven over anything hazardous, or towed. Plus the grease was essentially gone; so I asked, wouldn?ˆ™t the boot have to have been broken for a while? Still, he insisted it was completely normal for boots to break that soon. See Yelp for more info.
