    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    My 2012 ******** engine seized after Red's Auto and Truck performed an oil change and major maintenance. Issue #1: The Red’s Auto and Truck invoice documented that they used 15/40 oil. 15/40 oil is not the recommended oil. The invoice shows that they used 10 quarts of oil and charged me for 10 quarts, however, the engine holds 8.5 quarts. Issue #2: The Red’s Auto and Truck invoice documented “replace front brake pads and rotors”. They did not document that they used non-OEM parts. Issue #3: The mechanics at Red’s used incorrect screws to reattach the engine guard. Issue #4: No invoice for the re-work they did on the brakes. Issue #5 & #6: The repair was incorrectly completed. I cannot describe what the repair was because I was not provided an invoice. Issues #7, #8 & #9: Incorrect bolts were used for the intake manifold repair. (Several of the correct bolts were found on the engine.) Metal shavings were found on the engine. Silicon was used for a repair. I can provide more details if needed. Issue #10: Red’s Auto and Truck admitted to using an oil that is not recommend for the vehicle. Issue #11. The engine holds 8.5 quarts of oil, they only purchased (5) quarts. His documentation, shows they purchased 5 quarts and thus, short 3.5 quarts. In conclusion, Red’s Auto and Truck has violated the Colorado Motor Vehicle Repair Act (MVRA) numerous times as detailed in issues: #1, #2, #4. Red’s Auto and Truck mechanics failed to repair the vehicle properly and used incorrect parts as detailed in issues: #3, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9. Red’s Auto and Truck admits to using an oil that is not recommended by ********. Red’s Auto and Truck has failed to provide documentation that proves he used the correct amount of oil as detailed in issue #11. I have illustrated that their documentation is not adequate, their workmanship has been substandard. Red’s Auto and Truck is currently refusing to open a claim with their insurance company. Additional documentation is available if needed.

    I work at AAC warranty as a claims adjuster, we have filed many mechanical breakdown claims for Red's. We are always able to come together and take care of our mutual customer. Red's has fair parts and labor prices and that needed no negotiation. They are quick with every document I need to get repairs funded. We are easily able to get the customer back on the road. THANKS! My great experiences with Red's does not stop there! I bought a Lexus from Mike W. It was a low pressure buying experience. We explored the best options for my credit situation and they let me use my outside financing source. Ultimately I left happy with my purchase. I would recommend Reds solely on their solid options for aftermarket warranties. After reading through the extended warranty that I bought on my vehicle I'm very happy with the coverage level. Thank you to Mike, Mike W, and Justin for staying late for me to make this happen on a Tuesday night after a long Labor Day weekend. The car is smooth and clean. THANKS! YOU THINK IM DONE? Well, I'm not. Last but not least id like to shout out Scott G. He is a skilled Automotive Technician and is a stand up guy who deserves recognition! Scott is very knowledgeable with almost any vehicle. Scott provides A+ Service no matter what he is working on. I can have my vehicle serviced here with confidence that it will be done correctly the first time. Even better, I can recommend this place to my mutual customers knowing that this team will take care of folks.
