A Big Rant & a Big Thanks!

[VFX]

I recently took my car to a well known oil change/car wash chain in Chilliwack to get an oil change.

Just under 2 weeks later, whilst I was going home from work, my car dumps it's oil in a pretty big way whilst I was going up hill on HWY 1 at 100kph.

By the time I got onto the shoulder the engine had seized & the piston rod had punched a nice big hole in the engine block.

I towed my car to Dsaundry's place in Chilliwack (Darryl also kindly picked my g/f up from work whilst I was stranded on the highway) and found out that the guys who did the oil change didn't screw the sump plug on properly.

1 new engine later I'm back on the road (thanks again to Darryl).

Moral of the story?

1 - Don't take your car to place where the staff are not fully trained mechanics.

2 - If you know a good mechanic use them! Don't listen to the g/f & get an oil change somewhere more convenient!

3 - Canreef members help you out with much more than just fish stuff!
