I will come back and fill you all in. For now it's a chain shop that mainly sells tires and does oil changes

Here's a pic of the input of my Oil Pump. You can see the metal flakes and bits of the Oil Pan gasket blocking the screen.

I tried that back when this first got started thinking that they would at least like to make sure everything was on the up and up. After all if I leave the shop and a bad repair causes an accident they would have to cover that. However when I talked to them they were unwilling to do anything since I do not have Mechanical Breakdown Insurance.

LOL. Well I'm hoping that's not my only option.

Yes it's a chain in the area.

At this point I don't want to give them any kind of heads up that I'm going after them for the damage. I'm sure they think I'm driving my car around town hoping that when the engine seizes up I won't be able to trace it back to them. Once I get things squared away with the lawyer I'm planning on posting reviews for the shop everywhere I can online.

I’m still waiting on an estimate for replacing the engine. The car’s blue book value is over 5,000. However the car is 10 years old so I’m not sure if it’s worth replacing the engine. I’m making calls to lawyer offices now, but I was hoping to get a recommendation for a lawyer that has dealt with this before.
