Got my oil changed about a month ago, only last night noticed faint smoke coming from the hood (was out of town for a few weeks). Popped the hood and found oil everywhere, a huge puddle of oil on the floor of my garage, and of course, no oil cap. Checked the dip stick, it’s completely dry. Hoping for some advice on where to go from here. What do I need to do to hold the dealership accountable?
A month ago is too long, for a business to be willing to immediately accept liability. Reasoning would be you should be checking your oil about once a month anyway. So in my eyes you could have topped off your oil, forgotten the cap and now the shop is the perfect scapegoat. If it were within a 1-2 weeks sure I would be willing to accept liability.
