Longgo Toyota broke my frs..
 
Went to longgo Toyota for an oil change yesterday. After driving my car for like 6mi I noticed that my car drives sluggish and I'm like maybe it was the pavement then I went to the nearest exit then I found out that the rear left side of my firs was burning and there was a smoke comin out from that side. I shut the engine right away and called longgo and they told me if I can have my car towed back to longgo which I did. So they're still diagnosing the cause of that. Just because of an oil change. Smh!

I have no idea... just for oil change smh

Very strange. Could you see oil leaking anywhere in the engine bay. Maybe the spilled some when filling it up?

Jgs84 02-11-2015 12:15 PM

Nope.. Nothing! Very very strange!
Scared the heck out of me! And im like I brought my car in for you guys to take care of it, not to break it!

Rear tire? Did they rotate your tires during the oil change? could it be the hand breaks? op do you drive an automatic? Could it be that longo pulled your hand breaks up when they gave back your car and op forget to release it?

Seems like no one likes to spellcheck in this thread...

Maybe they overfilled the oil and spilled oil on header? I feel for you. They are supposed to be the best Toyota dealership.

Jgs84 02-11-2015 12:53 PM

Yes they did rotate my tires and i drive a stick shift. I also noticed that they did adjust my handbreak

Yes. Please go re-read my comment.

It was an observation and not a judgment.

I'm not sweating it.

mav1178 02-11-2015 01:19 PM

BTW I'm not sure "I shit the engine right away" sounds right... may want to see if any damage was done there.

Jgs84 02-11-2015 01:22 PM

Oh I'm sorry... I wasn't aware that you were referring to me. "Shut the engine"
