I brought it in early for an oil change because the check - BARNESON
I brought it in early for an oil change because the check engine light was on. At the oil change station they said it was missing on a cylinder. A couple days later I brought it in. The mechanic recommended new spark plugs and wires. I agreed.
The mechanic also recommended new brakes, front and rear. I agreed to the front brake job.
The mechanic said it had a severe oil leak. When getting an oil change a few months back I was told it had an oil leak and I should keep an eye on the oil level. I did and the oil level did not go down much if at all.
A sway bar was broken and I authorized repair.
Why didn't the oil change people mention the truck needed a brake job? Brakes are supposed to be one of the things they check.
I received a text with repair recommendations and I approved about half of the recommended repairs. Then I went back to the text to read the recommendations again but they disappeared. When I paid the invoice mentioned the repair recommendations I authorized but did not go into as much detail. I would like more detail about the suspension repair recommendation.
It has been a good truck. It has almost 160,000 miles and has required little maintenance. Oil changes, tires, air filters, one headlight, and that's about it. Hard to believe I got to 160,000 miles before it needed a brake job.
