My son brought his 2005 Toyota in for what was supposed to be a simple oil change. The mechanic came back telling him I had a “busted oil pan.” That immediately didn’t sit right with me. There was no oil leaking anywhere in my yard where I park my car every single day, and my oil light never came on. That’s the first red flag.So I decided to get a second opinion and thank God I did. My personal mechanic came to where he was looked underneath my car and found two punctures in the oil pan. Not a crack, not a normal wear issue two clean puncture holes with a screwdriver. That told me everything I needed to know. It looked intentional, and that’s exactly what made my blood boil.Then to top it off, they had the nerve to quote me over $700 to fix it, and when my son asked about paying with a card, they said it would be an extra 10% fee just to use it! That’s ridiculous and completely unprofessional..When we went to a local auto parts store to get the replacement part so our own mechanic could do the job, the clerk there didn’t even seem surprised. They said this place already has a bad reputation for shady work and ripping people off. That confirmed everything I was feeling. . If you value honesty, integrity, and fair business, do NOT take your car here. Always get a second opinion before letting anyone touch your vehicle. These people tried it with the wrong one. Im reporting them to the State and BBB
