I got an oil change here. The next day I noticed a large puddle of oil on my garage floor. I checked the oil, it was dry. I brought the car to my trusted mechanic. He inspected it and found that there was no o-ring on the filter. He also degreased the underside of my car as it was covered in the oil that had leaked as I drove it. He charged me $91 for his service. I returned to Jersey shine and lube and told them my problem. The owner asked why I didn't bring it to them to check out the problem. I explained that I was afraid to drive the car because I didn't want to damage the engine. I showed him my receipt and told him I'd like him to reimburse me for the original oil change and also my mechanics charges, which totalled $137.35. He argued that he had no way of knowing that what I told him was the truth. I indicated that the mechanic who fixed the problem was a reputable local businessman and suggested he call him. He declined. I asked if he thought I was making this up and he replied, "Yes". I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there is no further damage to my engine in the future.
