They were quick to put my car on the lift and search for an oil leak. In ten minutes, they could not locate a leak because the oil had been sprayed all over the bottom of the engine. They agreed to wipe most of the sprayed oil off and for me to return the following morning. The next morning no leaks on the driveway, no sprayed oil on the engine. They said it appeared whomever changed the oil before I bought the car did a sloppy drain and left oil laying where it should have went into their recycle can. That explained why my oil dipstick showed no change from full when I checked it three or four times plus twice at Action Tire. No charge for their service, plus, would not let me tip their technicians.
Too many auto service stores are quick to scam the elderly. Thank you Action Tire and Service.! We need more merchants like you near The Villages.

Heartwarming thread! I know my car has a bizarrely designed chassis that catches oil when it gets drained. I now ask for my chassis to be cleaned off of oil drips (best they can) after oil changes.
