I wanted the vehicle towed to a reliable mechanic (The GM Dealership) They assured me it was taken care of and that it was OK to drive 4 miles.
While driving away the temporary plug Valvoline installed, it failed on the way to the GM service center 4 miles away. I was told by the Manager on duty that "it would hold" and "that I should take it directly to the GM service department." I did just that. They wanted me out of there asap, by whatever means necessary.
The temporary plug failed 500 yards away from The GM service center while in traffic. Another negative aspect of the situation was my treatment by your area manager to solve the problem which is a broken oil pan and engine damages. It was unacceptable for a professional business. The area manager didn't even see the damage first hand. He made a decision over the phone. Furthermore I was told to begin with that "all repairs would be covered" by Area Manager Derek ******* He told me "he was dealing with something that he didn't have time for this and to just send in the receipts."
Meaning I would have to PAY for the repairs first!
The vehicle was already taken to the GM service center where it died in a puddle of its own fluids in their service bay. Only to be called back 45 minutes later telling me "the cost for repair was too much and could have been done cheaper". There was no mentioning of possible engine damages due to running dry of oil due to their Temporary plug and overheating.
or of the cost of a rental car as for the repair would take days to complete. The oil plug was the only concern. He had cussed at the GM service manager for the quote he received. As if it were a personal expense of his.
