Oil Change
 

Recently took my car in for a regular oil change. The place I went was attached to a very large store. A few days later I noticed transmission fluid on the floor of my garage. When I looked under the car I did not see a problem. I opened the hood thinking maybe a dipstick was left askew or a cap was off. Found nothing,then I noticed the cap was not on fully on the radiator overflow bottle. No big deal. But I could not get it on. There was a rubber washer with it that had swollen and would not allow the cap to fit. To make a long story short... I found the overflow had been filled with Transmition fluid. Luckily none had been sucked into the cooling system.

Anti-freeze from Toyota is red unlike others. I guess the kid who was filling the under hood containers saw red fluid and pumped in ATF. I originally thought that the transmission cooling portion of the radiator had broken and somehow got into the engine cooling system. I guess the moral of the story is you get what you pay for. :(

Would that have been on CR 466?

What was management's response when you took it back?

It would help to know the name and address of the place that did the oil change. Thanks

I go to Frost automotive every 3500 miles. They are in wildwood on 301 and I get a 10% discount by being an AGA member. Billy seems to be a great guy. He was raised in sumter, and all his employees are pleasant as well.
