Business ProfileforMarshall Motor Company, Inc.

I bought a 2014 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi from ****** **** **** *** in Kansas. Took the truck to Marshall Motors in Salina, Kansas on 10/6/23 for an oil change. Spent $350 on a service contract meaning I would pay nothing for the next four oil changes and tire rotations. When driving on the highway for the first time since the service the truck began smoking. I pulled over, checked the tires and then got back on the highway. Then it started smoking a lot and I pulled off the highway again on 10/7/23 about 24 hours after the oil change. I started a road side service request and it was going through on my phone with the progressive app. My wife’s grandparents came to check on me as I was broke down. My wife’s grandpa **** **** pulled the engine oil dipstick and said it was bone dry. He then checked under the truck and seen there was no engine oil drain plug. We called the dealer Marshall Motors who had performed the service and they arranged for a wrecker to pick the truck up and they said they would have a car for me to drive when I got there. When the tow truck dropped me and the truck off. ***** ******* the general manager came out asking if the vehicle was salvage. I told him no. He then proceeded to say it had a Juno yard rear end in it. He claimed to have seen the markings on the rear end when it was on the tow truck. He began speculating that something was stripped in the truck (possibly the drain plug bolt or pan I assume). He assured me he was speculating. But, if it was their fault they would make it right. I’m not sure if what the comments about the rear end and assuming it is salvage have anything to do with a missing engine oil drain plug about 24 hours after the service.
