Yesterday we went to the dealership to have my wife's 15 Corolla's Oil and filter change done. We left to eat and came back after they called to tell us the car was ready. I paid for the service, gave my wife the keys and she drove off the dealer lot. She got as far as the next light before the car turned off. I notice she stops and turns on the hazards so I stop and she tells me the car won't start. I pop the hood and go through the motions, the car wont turn over so check battery, check fuses, check starter, nothing. at this point I call roadside assistance. The tow truck took two hours to arrive so by the time the car went back to the dealership it was closed.
This morning the Service Manager calls me and starts apologizing profusely and I started worrying so I tell the guy, just tell me what is wrong with the car. That is when he says you're gonna need a new engine, my heart stopped for a second and then I went like wait what??? He then start explaining that the idiot tech who serviced the car somehow did not put a single drop of oil back in the engine after he drained it and changed the filter. Hence in about 2 miles my wife burned up and seized the engine. Silver lining is the car had 148K miles and will now get a new engine at $0 cost to me and a loaner while they fix their fuck up.
