Dalton'sSigh...Dalton's Dalton's Dalton'sYou know what scares folks the most about taking their car to a mechanic? Getting half-assed answers to whatever is going wrong, getting scary estimates that assure you the problem CAN be corrected (when it maybe can't) and then having your poor baby die as a repercussion
My adventure started with an oil change gone wrong - we can get to that laterOr now? An oil change at a *** where they didn't frickin' put oil in after the changeYupSent me on my merry way driving a car with NoFrickin'OilInIt
Sounds pretty devastating, huh? So I asked around & someone sent me to Dalton'sSpoke with Irven, who was very sympatheticHe took the car right in & assured me that they would let me know what was wrong quicklySo, a week later - yup - he lets me know it would be $to fix the issueOuchiesWe knew this might hurtSo almost a week after that, my baby was given back to me with a clean bill of healthI drove away super relievedBut wait...what is that new noise? NoThat's definitely a new noiseSame day got the car back, I came back to see IrvenIrven who now thinks I'm one of those attention craving crazies because I'm back alreadyYou said it with your eyes, IrvenHe grabs his mechanic who actually specializes in my make of car, and the guy goes out to hear the new noiseSays, "Oh! That's gonna be for a day or twoIt's because what we fixed is actually making the car's oil run smoother, so it's just gonna clear itself outDon't worryIt will stop."
He was rightIt did stopThe engine is blownEverything stops when your engine is blownIrven, who really wished I would go away at this point, graciously (with all sarcasm attached) offered to repair my car for another $Actually, I used $for a down payment on a new(ish) car, but thanks for the offerLive & learn, but don't do it at Dalton's
