I wanted to post my experience with Canby Car Wash and Auto Lube. I have continuously reached out to managment for a resolution since August and so far no practical solution has been offered to resolve the problem.
On July 27 I took our truck to Canby Auto Lube for a routine oil change. We have taken both our vehicles here for several years and have never had any issues with this company. In the days after our oil change we realized our truck was leaking a significant amount of oil (1-2 quarts per week). After closer inspection my husband and I seen that the oil was coming from around the oil drain plug and the plug appeared to have been cross threaded into the oil pan.
I took the truck back into Canby Car Wash and Auto Lube and met with the assistant manager, Jackie. She informed me the plug was cross threaded and she would contact me after she first spoke to her manager, for the time being I could come back to the shop for a free oil top off as needed.
Jackie contacted me and informed me they would be replacing the oil pan on our truck and we arranged for the repairs to be made the following Tuesday.
On the day the repairs were scheduled to be made a gentleman who introduced himself as the manager contacted me and informed me that Napa had made a mistake and ordered us the incorrect oil pan and we would have to reschedule the repairs for the following week. I was understanding, I still wanted to give the business the opportunity to correct their mistake so I agreed.
I phoned Canby Auto Lube this last Tuesday and spoke with Chad and informed him I would be in to have the oil pan replaced. The assistant manager Jackie called me back and said she was sorry but they were not equipped to replace our oil pan due to the fact that with our model of truck the motor would need to be lifted in order to remove the oil pan. She also informed me they called other shops in the area and the cost was near $2,000. She offered me a couple of temporary fixes instead.
I went into Canby Auto Lube to talk to a manager directly. I spoke with a gentleman who was a manager and he again offered the temporary repairs, I called my husband so he could explain the repair options to him as well. My husband expressed to the mangager that he was not in favor of a temporary fix and emphasised he would prefer a permanent fix (replacement of the oil pan). The manager agreed. After he ended the phone call with my husband the manager informed me he would talk to the owner and get in contact with me later that afternoon. He also told me the individual who was responsible for the damage to our oil pan was terminated, and he was also responsible for a number of customer complaints including damaging the motor of a vehicle owned by Enterprise.
I waited patiently, but after two days going by without hearing back, I took our truck in today to have our oil topped off, as the truck was 1 1/2 quarts low. The assistant manager Jackie topped off the oil. I asked her if their was any news from the owner about repairing our vehicle. She immediately denied that we were ever customers and said there is no record of our truck ever being in their computer system. I informed her I have paperwork from all of our oil changes and she stated this conversation was over and abrubtly walked away. I called and asked for a manager and was hung up on twice.
I dont want to bash this company in any way as this is our first ever negative experience with Canby Car Wash and Auto Lube. I feel I gave them every opportunity to make this right, and they refused to do so. I just wanted to share our experience and hope it saves someone from the same headache.
