They claimed there was an oil leak that was leaking into my engine, and were going to fix that. Then, 4 days later (I drove the vehicle twice), the car broke down in the middle of a highway and had to be towed. I was told the transmission died due to a ring that broke and clogged a pipe which caused the transmission to fail. …”
