Early in February I took my car to Bennett's Garage to have an oil leak repaired. I was aware of the source of the leak, knew it was a common leak for my model of car and asked the garage to replace the leaking gasket. I picked up my car, noticed some things didn't quite seem right so I took my car to a place where I could inspect it. After an initial inspection it appeared that the quality of work was very poor, but due to the type of repair I was unable to confirm weather or not the work had been done. My car seemed to run OK for a few days, after which I noticed the smell of burning oil coming from under the hood. I found the leak had returned and took it to the garage. The mechanic, Bill, did a very quick inspection of the back of the engine using a mirror and claimed the leak was coming from the valve cover gasket. I didn't feel that Bill had given it a proper inspection and felt I had been brushed off.
