NEVER go to valvoline!!!
So I brought a brand new car so that I wouldn't have to deal with car shit but valvoline is doing it's best to make that different! I got my oil changed at valvoline last time I got it changed and when I moved my car the next morning there was a big puddle of oil under it. So I brought it back in and they tried telling me it was my transmission leaking. NO, I do know what oil looks like. Anyhow I took it to the dealer and they put a new gasket on my transmission. Problem solved...or so I thought. I went to walmart for an oil change today and fricking valvoline tightened the plug so hard that they can't get it off. Great! Now I have to find a dealer and pray that they can get it off otherwise they will have to drill it and I'll have that whole expense. I suppose when I went to valvoline saying it was leaking they just cranked the plug as hard as they could. GRRRRRRRRR!!!! I will never go to valvoline again.

So I knew that you started blogging and for some reason I just never visited - please forgive me! Happy Belated Birthday! and I will think evil thoughts about Valvoline - grrrr.
:)
That sucks. Can you complain at their website or anything? (Maybe you'll get some money back?!)
that totally sucks. I've heard other stories from other quick change places before. write a letter while you're still pissed enough to Valvoline headquarters. maybe you can get something out of all this suckyness?
happy birthday!! as for valv., I heard bad things but never took the time to find out for myself. this confirms what I have heard. what kind of car did you get? forgive me if you already posted, I am crazy from having a child.
Hey there chica! Great news to hear that you moved up to the Pacific Northwest...I loved it up there! I know what you mean about Oregon -- the crazy gas thing and the slow drivers, and it gets worse...I spent a year and a half covering that state calling on Ford dealerships! My favorite thing on your blog: the shirt-burning party! Looks like it was fun. As for Seattle, it looks like you're having lots of fun...I have a good girlfriend out there (Mari), and may be headed out this summer for a visit. Let me know if you need a new friend to hang out with...she's awesome, and she's got the total hookup on the Seattle scene! It's great! Also, Rade is in Seattle, as well as a few DZ's...Kir$ten R0ll@y and Miche11e En$ign. Shoot me an email if you need any contacts or info :)
Is it sad that the first thing I thought was "hmmm, if she wiped up the oil with a rag and had a sample I could tell if it was oil or transmission fluid" ??? Can you tell I work with oil/lubricants/coolants?
Pooh to valvoline!
