I scheduled an appt to check my power steering on Jan - Franco
I scheduled an appt to check my power steering on Jan 30/23. I was getting what seemed like louder noise when backing out of garage. I had previously had an oil change and all fluids topped up on Nov.25/22 by this dealership. Before bringing my vehicle in on the 30th, I checked my power steering fluid. The reservoir was nearly empty. I added some fluid and the "start up noise" subsided. Upon arrival at the dealership I told them the fluid was low, I added some and the noise went away and that I had just had the vehicle serviced in Nov., including fluids topped up (inspection report showed all fluids up to proper levels. I was told they would check for a leak. Story short. No leaks detected! Well, my assumption was that the level was never checked, hence why would I pay for confirmation there is no leak. I was charged for the inspection. Spoke to the manager. Every excuse imaginable. The warm weather may have washed away evidence that the oil leaked, I should have heard the noise earlier, etc. Well it now March 11th. Levels are still up, no noise, no leaks, Nothing. My conclusion, they never checked the fluid level just checked the box.
I told them it was the last $ they would get from me. Time has proven me right. Don't trust anything service tells you and don't trust their inspection reports..
