      Run, don't walk away from this less that reputable company! They did an oil change on my 2008 Silverado and instead of using conventional oil replaced it with synthetic oil! With over 40% oil life left the engine failed reading low oil pressure turn off engine immediately! When this was brought to their attention my wife was guaranteed the synthetic oil would not cause any problems! They have serviced this truck since buying it new and their negligence in service caused the engine failure! They were supposed to run a diagnostic review of the truck and supply me with the information and they had the truck for over a week! When arranging to have it towed out of their business the truck was sitting in the same place the tow driver had dropped it a week later and nothing was done other than to tell us that it needed a new engine to the tune of ***** dollars! The new management running the business is all about the dollar but refuse to correct or own mistakes they have caused!

      RESPONSE TO BBB REVIEW ID# ******
      This case is in regards to Mr.and ************************* whom own a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado VIN#*****************. This customer had their last oil and filter change at our repair facility on October 4,2021, Repair Order No. *****. The vehicle mileage was ******* at that time. Mr.and *********** brought their vehicle in on January 11, 2023 and their vehicle had ******* miles. This was 14 months after they had their last oil change.  ********************** now claims that due to Register using incompatible engine oil, their engine in their 15 year old vehicle now needs replacing. The customers complaint was a knocking noise in the engine and the low oil pressure light illuminating. After diagnostics it was determined that the noise the engine was making was a result of age and mileage of the vehicle. An engine replacement was warranted. The customer declined the repair and had the vehicle towed out. This customer also attempted to trade this vehicle in before towing elsewhere. There is no known evidence of engine damage resulting from switching from conventional oil to synthetic oil. However, it should be noted, Register Chevrolet has only used conventional oil on this vehicle and not synthetic oil as the customer stated. The last three consecutive maintenance receipts showing what oil and filter were used with each service. Engines are mechanical and unfortunately do break down and there are many reasons an engine could need replacing. Some of the most common reasons why engine replacement is required are (overheating issues, oil pump failure, age, mileage, wear and tear, stop and go driving) We understand the frustrations of Mr. and *********** however, due to the age and mileage of their vehicle Register was not negligent in any service work done on this vehicle.
      Respectfully, I am sincerely
