WARNING - WALMART

The other week I took my car to Walmart to get a quick oil change in my subaru. It was suggested by a friend to take my car here because it was quick and the price was fair. Not having much time to do maintenance items on my vehicle I took it over without thinking. I ride over, which is around the corner from my house, and take it to the vehicle center. I see the ghetto people working on the cars and since all they do is oil changes I thought there wouldnt be a problem. I go for the up-graded service plan which cost a little more money but Id rather have a better oil in my car. The oil change takes a little over an hour but while Im waiting I get to walk around walmart and people watch. This Walmart is harlarious! It is located near Camden and you get a bunch of crazies that go. This one time, this elder black dude was compaining to be that there are too many people to be racist against. He prefered the days when it was only white vs black.

My car started to run really funny. The gears were slipping and it had no pick up. I had to play with the gas pedal to allow enough gas to try and catch a gear. This went on for a day and I went out and bought some transmission cleaner and gas cleaner. I added both to my car and the check engine lights went off for about 2 days. After the two days of being lightless, the lights came back on so I called the subaru dealership. The next day I brought the car to the dealership in hopes that they would the problem. This is what they said...

The person who changed your oil last tried to remove the transmission filter with pliers and broke the seal and the filter. The transmission filter is never to be removed so when it happened the a leak started. In a couple days I leaked 4 quarts of trans fluid and didnt even know it because of my brushgard. In talking with the subaru mech I then mentioned that my car is still under warrenty and that the service should be free. He then said that because of manual damage to the car, the warrenty is void in this situation. So now, I have to call subaru and walmart and see if I can get someone to pay for the damages. Atleast now my car runs better than it has ever ran before.
