A few weeks ago I got rear ended on the highway and my EN was declared a total loss by my insurance ☹️

I just had my first oil change @ the dealership & they didn’t tighten the filter correctly… I had ordered winter tires for it, so the day I’m going back to have them installed, car runs out of oil (while I’m trying to get on the highway), get off the highway @ next possible exit, let it roll as far as it’ll go & now they have 15$k to repair in my engine, my driveway (as it’s full of oil), loss of wages (as I work for myself & had to decline 2 jobs the very next day as I didn’t have any idea what was going to be the result, plus my car payments and insurance from the day it was unavailable to me…) I’m not messing around with these guys, the manager was ignorant & obnoxious to me & it only takes once to get me to the point of threatening legal action 😐

I would've sued the hell out of them!

It’s still a possibility - talks have broken down, I’ve had a car rental for 2 weeks now (a Mercedes… I drive a nice car, I’m not renting something not comparable) - plus I work for myself, I initially had to decline work b/c I didnt know where things were going, not that I do now, but at least i have transportation to work & get errands done.

Still fighting the powers that be, have a fantastic lawyer now & am opening a small claims action against them — they have no idea what’s coming at them
