Seems like the service guys and the mechanics are always trying to **** you over

Took my car in today after noticing a patch of black oil around the transmission area underneath.

I tell the service manager that they'll need to put a dye in to find the source. Service manager slyly smirks at my request.

So the mechanic/service guy tells me to come in the shop and they explain that they cant find the leak. So i tell them that you'll have to use a dye to find the source. Then the mech tells me that an oil leak is common in the k series I'm backing up my side and the mechanic is trying his best to make up bull**** excuses about the problem.

The whole time these 2 are trying to avoid the inevitable but i persist and eventually the mech tells me he'll put it in. Tells me to come back a week later.



Its was sickening to hear the mechanic blatantly make up "facts" about my engine model to avoid doing warranty work.
