I took in my 2014 mini ****** turbo for an oil change. Drove it to work in *****, On my way back home the hot light came on on dash so I pulled over at the Dollar General in between ************ and *****. All the antifreeze had leaked out and oil was dripping on the pavement. Had it towed back to ***** downtown ************. They determined that the person that changed the oil did not reconnect the antifeeze/coolant line that runs in front of the oil filter. When oil filter was changed, coolant line was not reconnected so the motor overheated. ***** had the car towed to VAP auto in ***** to be repaired. ***** said they would take care of the motor and get the car back on the road and *************** got involved and wanted to total the motor and put a salvaged motor in it. Note there was nothing wrong with this car until this oil change and the motor only had 60K miles. ***** further damage was determined to be done all the way down to the pistons, tates insurance wanted to total my car and not pay for the additioanl work based on the value of the vehicle. I signed a release from insurance after VAP auto said it would be a couple of hundered dollars out of my pocket to take care of the additional costs that insurance wouldnt pay for. Come to find out that wasnt all that needed to be done, by the time everything was done I owed an additional $8000 to VAP over and above what *************** paid since I didit let them total my car out, all for a $50 oil change! I had to take out a loan on my Jeep to pay VAP auto and I am now strapped for money! I dont care what the value of the car was based on what work needed to be done on the motor. I completely expected them to fix my motor whatever the cost based on my car being in perfect condition before the oil change! The cost to fix the motor should of had nothing to do with it. This was my transporation and they wanted to total my car, make me buy another car, loan, tag, tax, etc. THIS WAS NOT RIGHT ***** SCREWED ME OVER!
