Default Oil Change from Hell

I was getting my oil changed today

After everything was done, I was backing out my car

Then I hear something get caught from the bottom

The mechanic just tells me to keep going

And then, he tell me to come back forward

I get out and check my car....

And the plastic piece on the bottom of my car is half ripped off!

Lousy excuse...."your car is too low"...and we had to push the car out, so I wont have to sit in it to make the car even lower

With those spring and shocks you list in your sig, your car is only lowered 1" below OEM. That isn't low. That's an incompetent mechanic.

"That's an incompetent mechanic."

He could have thought it was just scraping. That happens often you know... But I don't think it makes him incompetent.

Same thing happened to me teazer...except mine was at the beach Spring Break last year. I backed up because there was heavy sand in front of me we i heard a snap.....after backing up to harder sand i found that the plastic spash guard had snapped off....it really sucked ....BUT.... the three girls in the back were still there...(and ready to comfort a broken hearted man I might add...)
