Sounds like Kevin used the wrong tranny oil in somebody's car. strange mistake for a 'Master' mechanic to make.

GREAT OBSERVATION mudman It's people like you and Ken Starr, finding the fault in the faultess, who make our democracy work.


Fault count:
LIC - 0
AHQ - 1
Gruppe-s - lots
GB - lots
FLI - lots
etc. etc.

And of course this isn't to badmouth anyone else, I'd still consider myself a diehard Gruppe-S supporter for example. But you know, lest the "diet fad" crowd reads your post...

Ken Starr...that was a bit harsh :-)

I was just a bit surprised to hear that someone who is a 'master' mechanic would use an unsuitable tranny oil that could have potentially led to a huge amount of damage. I'm one of these guys who doesn't work on their own car and trusts the mechanic 100%, so reading that a wrong fluid was used put me right off Auto HQ.

I dunno, I had to concoct the right amount of sarcasm just to make sure it would fly over your head if you were a fob or something

Emailed AutoHQ yesterday for a quote and appt, but no answer yet. I guess if I don't hear from them by this afternoon, I'll stop being a puss and call.

Yeah there's really only one guy checking the email account but always a guy in the shop so you should just call them.

^^^^yeah, i kind of noticed that.

Oh well, I'll call tomorrow. I just figured it be a little easier to get a more accurate quote through email since I want to have a few different things done. Sometimes stuff gots lost or forgotten over the phone, especially if a shop is busy or shorthanded.
