When the previous dipstick broke (11-07-19) I ordered a new one from Lake Auto parts dept., and didn't attempt to repair the old one, And how could I get the dipstick out to weld it anyway? I don't know how to weld and don't own one either. When I tried to check my oil, it was stuck and I twisted it a little and that's when it snapped. The metal was a little bent upwards, and the mechanic said it was a weld bead. I told him to look at it with a microscope and he would see it wasn't welded.

Although he was very helpful with pointing out the frame damage on my van and explaining about the heater core; I found his basically calling me a liar with the dipstick both extremely insulting and highly offensive. I would also say that he needs to know the difference between something being bent and snapped and being welded together. It makes me question his qualifications to be your mechanic.
