  On 6/23/2025 Mr. ***** did come in for and oil change and air conditioning diagnosis.

  First the oil change was done on the service side of the shop where Mr. ***** stayed in the bay as it was being performed. He watched the oil being added, the vehicle being safety checked that included verbal commands from the tech servicing from above and below the vehicle. The commands are (Above) safety check, (Below) clear to start vehicle, (above) starting vehicle, (Below) hand on filter, filter is tight, wrench on plug, plug is tight, no leaks vehicle is clear. (Above) checking oil level, oil level is good. vehicle is clear to move. During this time the downstairs tech applies a tamper proof seal. this allows us to see if anyone might tamper with the plug. the tamper proof is a liquid that hardens (like lock tight) and goes across the pug and on to the oil pan.

  At that point the vehicle was brought to one of mechanical bays and brought back in the building. There was no sign of and oil leak during that drive around the building. If the oil drain plug was out there would be oil. There is always residual oil in a motor.

  While the air conditioning was being diagnosed the vehicle ran for approximately 30 minutes. Again, no oil anywhere in that bay and the car was running good. After the diagnosis Mr. ***** didn't want to have it fixed and the vehicle was driven around the building to the front entry for pick up. Again, no leaks on the ground.

  When the vehicle was brought back to us the tamper proof seal was missing.

  When Mr. ***** was asked if he saw oil on the driveway where he parked his car and he stated there was nothing.  We asked him this because he told us that it was home and when he had the problem it was while driving it a second time. Again, if the car lost the drain plug while driving, there would be oil all over the bottom of the car and in the driveway, there was nothing and the tow truck driver also said there was no oil anywhere around the car.

  You can see on the attachment that we noted that the vehicle had Check Engine Light (CEL) on Prior to service PTS.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  Do you have any real Proof because your statement is all hearsay. Your statement is false. 

  
  I have real proof. 
  My car had a blown motor within hours of leaving your SpeeDee. 
  I have no oil and no plug in my car. Also, to point out I have a fine motor skill disability and could never remove an oil plug. 

  Sincerely,

   ****** *****

  We have failsafe's in place so this cannot happen. Our process and procedures are followed by at least three people while working on your vehicle. THings are double checked.

  What was the check engine light for? The vehicle has over ******* miles on it. That could be the cause of failure, or you said you brought the car to a friend's garage, maybe something happened there.

  As I said, the oil level was checked on the dipstick after the tech added and the vehicle want through its safety check The level was perfect. It also ran for approximately another half hour after we moved it to the other side of the shop while the ** was being checked. There was no oil leaking anywhere.

  Mr. **** came in for a transmission service that was on a vehicle with known transmission issues. There was *** recall on this vehicle that was never done, and he was past the time for the dealership to take care of it. We did the fluid exchange and told him to come back within a couple hundred miles so we could check the level.

  ************ came back the next day and we did check it. It was low a half a quart which is normal and within the safe marks on the dipstick. We added more fluid and he left. The next day he said he was feeling a problem. We had him come in and he was adamant that we caused the problem which is not true. We called the manufacturer to see if they would honor the TSB/Recall and that's when they informed us it was past the mileage to be taken care of.

  Being a responsible shop and not wanting to lose a customer I decided to replace the transmission with a used certified transmission that had less than half the mileage that was on the vehicle. Mr. **** wasn't happy that we replaced it with a used transmission. We get our used part's from *********, a reputable used parts dealer.

  We drove the vehicle for two days before he picked it up and the transmission was working perfect.

  Approximately a week later ************ called and said the transmission failed again. When we got the vehicle, we drove it for another two days and we couldn't find a problem, but we decided to replace under the warranty that ********* provided us. That transmission only had 11K miles. drove the car again for three days and zero issues.

  When ************ called back again and said he had lights come on in his car. I told Mr. **** we would take a look at it but if it wasn't associated with the transmission he would be charged. He never came back in.

  I paid for an oil change and cleaning on 11/24/2023 and on 12/26/2023 my car flashed a low oil light and then the engine sized 10 miles later. Speedee's did not change out the oil and left the old oil in my car. Due to this mistake my engine was unrepairable. I had just replaced the engine in November of 2022 and I only put 20,000 miles on it. I reached out to Speedee's on 1/2/2024 and was told that either Mark or Avery would give me a call back about this incident. I have not heard back from either of them and on 1/11/2024 my car was deemed a total loss.

  I am responding to a claim/complaint by ******************************

  First and foremost, we did an oil change and an engine cleaning for sludge at her last visit with us. See the attached documents. One shows her history at our location and the other is the invoice for her last visit.

  As you see, ******** is only changing her oil approximately every 10,000 miles when the filter and oil she chooses to use, is recommended every 3,000 miles or three months. Manufacturer recommends every 6 months or 6,000 miles. ******* always chose and oil that doesn't meet that spec. This was her choice.

  ******* is leaving out some very important information.

  We told her that the new/used (not sure how many miles on it) motor was burning oil, that's why we suggested and engine flush to start to get the sludge out of the motor.

  To do the engine flush it requires that we drain the oil, remove and add new oil filter, add the flush, run for 15-20 minutes, drain flush, remove and replace with new oil filter, add oil and check oil level.

  Everything is recorded at the time of service.

  I'm not sure who Mark is but Avery, my manager did call back and left a message.

  Also, we provide all customers with free top offs between oil changes. After letting ******** know that and that she was burning oil, she should have just stopped in more often and we could have helped her.

  We are in no way responsible for her buying a used motor that had a ton of miles on it. She should go back to where she purchased the motor from.
