I have an old Honda Accord 93 with Mileage 178K. Being an old car I make it a point to get the basic services done regularly. This time I got lured by a deal in the internet for oil change for $9.99 at Tire Kingdom. We left the car at the service station at Doral as the wait time was approximately for an hour and a half. The sales rep later called saying that the oil pan was not good and its threads were all stripped, with an estimate to repair the same for $ 400plus. I have been an owner of this car for past 5 years and have changed oil every 3 months religiously, never ever did I get to hear about such an issue. After they changed the oil there is a constant leak of oil from the car and I am sure it will not take more than a day for the oil to completely drain off. When I dropped of the car it was perfectly fine with no leaks at all. The Sales rep was insisting like a baby and confidently claimed the stripping was because of the guys who did the previous oil change. After I refused to make any fix to the car in terms of the oil leak, the sales rep wrote a note saying that he would never change the oil of my car ever. What a service in $9.99!!! My Mistake was to get lured with $9.99 money saver deal and go to such a non professional service center who can’t do what they claim to be their forte, instead leave my car with an oil leak.
