Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO TOM HENRY CHEVROLET ON MAY 19, 2016 TO HAVE RECALL NUMBER 14574 PERFORMED. I PREVIOUSLY HAD NO OIL LEAK FROM THIS VALVE COVER, BUT TOOK IT IN ONLY BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. MILEAGE TO TIME OF REPAIR WAS 117748...CURRENT MILEAGE, AT TIME OF PHOTO, IS 119295. THE PHOTO SHOWS THE GASKET PROTRUDING OUT FROM UNDER THE VALVE COVER TO THE LEFT OF THE BOLT, AND OIL ON THE BLOCK AND EXHAUST. SUCH A SIMPLE PROCEDURE, SCREWED UP BY INCOMPETENT DEALERSHIP!!!! NOW, I HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!
