So I get the 92 back from the mechanic having had the head gasket done. Everything seems in order...UNTIL I notice that the oil is AT LEAST two quarts overfilled. I assume that explains the oil crapola all around the exhaust manifold.

Guy's a great mechanic who's too busy....his flunky can't even get the oil level right.

Give me a one-man shop any day!

I still remember the local gas station bay where a kid put the power lube pump/hose in a V-8 left it pumping.

That owner caught it after that block was over flowing on the floor.

Hey I had a dodge dart....not to many years ago, I took it into the shop to have the ball joint replaced.....I picked it up and had to go out of town for awhile......I heard this clunky.....I was like omg.....now what.....so I decided to pull over before I jumped on the freeway....I look under the front of the car, at the suspension and I will be damned....the idiot left a wrench in the a arm......and to make it worse it was metric! I went back and told the ahole, that if I would have gotten on the freeway and this slid into my rotor.....I could have killed myself or cause a pile up.....he didn't say anything.......
