I had PP in fruitport change my oil in mid March. 1000 miles later, oil light comes on and pulled off road immediately. Checked dip stick and it was dry. Had car towed to my mechanic and he found that oil filter was almost totally unscrewed. Oil was covered all over undercarraige of car. My mechanic changed the oil and filter and car engine was fine. I stopped by PP and asked to speak to mgr. Asst Mgr said mgr was not in but he could assist. I told him my situation and that everything was OK with engine. I wanted him to know that he needs to make sure his employees ensure oil filter is installed properly. Asst mgr made copies of PP invoice from mid march AND the $100 invoice of oil change performed by my mechanic to correct my issue. Asst mgr said that the employee that performed the UPPER work of oil change no longer worked there and that Asst mgr would discuss with mgr when mgr was back and let me know what they could do for me. I told asst mgr it would be great if they could credit my credit card for the original oil change that they performed. He would check with mgr.
I spoke to mgr after Memorial Day Holiday weekend. He stated that he would have to go through Corporate for refund. He stated that his Asst mgr said that all I wanted was to let them know of issue I had and that everything was OK. Mgr questioned my motives of wanting a refund for the oil change that PP did.
At this point, I realized that Mgr did not want to make things right, So I decided to share my experience through this review. I thank god that the engine was not damaged. Cant imagine what excuses would have been given if my engine was damaged.
Moral of the Story:
ALWAYS have a certified licensed mechanic perform oil change. It does not cost that much more and you can bet that he will have your back and make things right if something needs rectifying. read more
