I brought my new car in for an oil change. At the end of the service I was informed that my car was leaking motor oil from timing chan cover. I brought my car to my dealership since it was under a bumper to bumper warranty. The mechanics quickly determined the only place it was leaking from was the oversized after market drain plug put on my car by jiffy lube. The oil plug they put on was too big and it stripped the threading on the oil pan causing it to leak. I was not informed this aftermarket part was placed on my car by jiffy lube and in doing so they voided my warranty. They refused to pay for the damages. Claiming the car already had a leak. They damaged my property and I got stuck with a 489.00 dollar bill!!
