Consumer Description

I DROVE MY CAR FROM CHICAGO TO ATLANTA AND HAD NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY REPORTED NO LEAKS AND THE CAR WAS GOOD TO GO. NOT EVEN 30 MINS AFTER MY CAR OIL LIGHT CAME ON, STARTED MAKING NOISES, AND STARTED SMOKING. MY BOYFRIEND PULLED OVER TO LOOK UNDER HOOD AND SEEN OIL IN SOME AREAS AND ON THE GROUND. WE GOT IT TOWED TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND BACK TO EXPRESS OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD IT'S A HOLE AT THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. *TR
