The only time that someone
The only time that someone actually tried a scam of this magnitude on myself was when my girlfriend's jeep had a rocker arm come off the spring and I asked them to go ahead and change the oil too. They then claimed that the engine was so bad and needed to be replaced since the oil wouldn't drain out from the oil pan. I told them to stick a screwdriver up into the hole if they had to. Idiots didn't even change the oil but just added more oil to it. I changed it just fine myself, but the guy was insistent that the engine was going to blow at any moment. Six years later the damn thing is still on the road! Always find a mechanic that you can actually trust because they are the ones that are worth gold.
