I hope the Oil comes off the seat ..

I have never had to many problems with walmart except leaving oily finger prints on the front fenders of my clean KR ..

The first oil change on my diesel i took to our local walmart and got 15 quarts of rotella and told them a motorcraft filter... I was watching the guy threw the window and he must have been new.. I bet he pulled out the dipstick 20 times and kept adding oil.. Finally the truck was ready so i pulled the dipstick to make sure he didnt over or under fill it and it was dead on.

So i drove home and later that night looked at my reciept and he had charged me for a motorcraft FL1A and it was suppose to be a fl1995... So i went outside and looked under the truck and he had put a fram on it which was leaking oil..

Next morning i talked with the manager and ended up getting the next 3 oil changes for free.. At almost 80 bucks a pop i think i got a decent deal.

This is the only major deal ive had with walmart.

The actual hassle of having to go through all of that is what bites, being it such a simple service, youd expect em to atleast wear gloves and take em off when theyre getting into privately owned vehicles

exactly a 30 minute procedure takes 2 and a half hours there and i havent gotten the estimate yet and then took them the estimate, then i have to get them to give me the money then i have to get it cleaned. this ordeal is just to much. the manager said they are supposed to put plastic covers over the seat when they drive it, good one. im with on your signature, hank would be a great president

Goodness. When you mentioned they got it on the seat, I was picturing you having leather seats and I would be pissed. I now see you have cloth seats I'd be livid. I hope they get that all cleaned up and straightened out to your satisfaction.

Or place a simple disposable plastic seat cover over the seat like some shops do. That's just plain sloppy service.

Good luck, hope it all works out for you and you don't have anymore inconveniences.

Due to previous experiences I steer clear of my local Wal Mart, Active Green and Ross, Canadian tire and anywhere else a co-op student would perform the work when it comes to my trucks service. But I definitely don't go to Ford either...

BTW Not bashing Co op students- I used to be one and some of them are great, I just can't afford the risks.

Ya. It worked out great. Car wash gave us estimate of $144.95 for seat cleaning and detailing and Walmart accepted and gave us the money. Used 40 for seat cleaning and 20 on good wash then kept the rest. Pretty good deal
