My brother in law has a Chevy Aveo.

He took it to the dealer because it has been running like crap. It turns out that when Walmart changes his oil they dispensed Wind shield washer fluid into his oil according to the dealer. Don't ask me why he takes it to Wal-Mart..

I have had antifreeze in my oil on a previous car from a blown gasket..

How does the dealer know it is washer fluid? The alcohol?

ask them

 

Can we move this thread to off topic??

 

hmm maybe the oil and the washer fluid seperated

 

thats crazy, honestly how hard is it to change your friggen oil.

 

I do my own oil because then if something is wrong I only have myself to blame....

He doesn't do his because he rents and that is not allowed there.. He should just do it in my driveway or garage...

Here is the damage....

"It will be repaired tomorrow after replacing the intake gaskets, flushing out the crankcase, drying it up and replacing the oil and filter. It is costing Chris $450.00."

 

Seems to me WalMart should be paying

 

Yeah... The dealer said that he could try but then also said, "Good Luck".

Wal-Mart is too big... He would never get them to fess up..

 

i never knew wal mart changed oil. where you get that done. even if the ones around here did i would not take it there all the ones around here suck and rip you off on everything.

 

The Wal~Marts around here do auto reapairs too. Sounds like they got the setup where there`s a bunch of hoses hanging down from the ceiling. Each with something different in it. One for antifreeze, one for washer fluid, one with bulk 10W30 motor oil, and so on.

I agree with the what the dealer said. Sure you know the kid making minimum wage at Wal~Mart did it. But good luck in getting anything out of them. At most you may get a coupon for a free oil change. But only after arguing for a month and threatening a law suit. I would only get work done at Wally World if I was stuck and had no other choice. I don`t care if you`re driving a Cadillac or a Yugo. I don't trust them.
