Title basically says it all. Was pressed for time and I knew the only place in town that could get me in and out within a reasonable amount of time was going to be Walmart. Normally I do my own maintenance, but due to a family emergency I had to just take it somewhere. Well, the service ticket says they changed the oil and filter and that all other fluids were good. Drove it off, no issues. Two hours later, the engine started knocking and then finally locked up.
The oil was dark. It looked as if it hadn't been changed at all, and there was a puddle of oil on the wrecker bed when it was offloaded (unsure if there's a hole in the block, but doubtful because the dipstick still read full)
I'm the second owner (kept in the family), and this car has been babied all of it's life. All maintenance has been done on time.
What all would I need to prepare in the event that Walmart doesn't want to work with me on this, and would a consumer law attorney be the proper one to contact if needed?
Should I reach out to one before contacting Walmart?
