Hope you have your receipts and maintenance records...


Had a oil change at a local oil change chain in Phoenix when I lived out there. Only place I went to. They would top off your fluids, but said they would not touch brake system. Needless to say, started having brake issues a couple of months after having an oil change. Took to a shop and they said I had steering fluid in my brake system, complete replacement of the cylinder and lines required because it destroyed the seals. The oil change shop will top off your steering fluid. They had confused the brake resivoir with the power steering resivoir.

Took bill to the shop, owner said no way you can prove my shop did that. Had 3 years of receipts showing they were the only ones doing my oil changes and owner said he through that I did it, and that's what he would say in court if I sued him.

Talked to a lawyer and they said a small claims case would likely get thrown out for just that reason. Unless I could specifically prove they messed with the brake system (video or eyewitness) no way I was going to win.
