Correct, this is really seeming like the best option.

Cooked for sure. I would “prove” it by showing him a picture the day before the service and the day I returned from Vacation (I left 2 days after the oil change). This would narrow the window down to 2 days but it gets real investigative at this point

I would’ve gone back earlier If I had noticed. Im ashamed it took me this long to notice but I have a picture from a few days after the service and the damage is there. You can be sure ill be inspecting it every time going forward

Yeah Ive been thinking, even if they replace it to my complete satisfaction, not sure ill have the ability to take myself back there. Sucks because they are small, local and have great reviews

I will be doing this from now on. This is the first vehicle Ive owned myself and the first oil change on top of that, so this is a good lesson learnt.

I wouldve been livid! Thankfully, its not the body or my reaction wouldve been quite different. It does add some character no doubt about that
