Headlight disaster folks - I did a thing.

chieuxuan · 10-11-2012, 09:45 AM

This was my last time getting oil change there, I'm breaking down and waiting for a tow truck. I have no engine oil, it is all gone. I'm pissed as shyt right now

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 09:52 AM

holy crap. Call and ask to speak to the service center manager. His name is Bob.

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 09:55 AM

I would demand:
-Reimbursement for tow
-Full inspection of vehicle to check for engine block wear/damage
-More free oil changes.

If they refuse, tell them you're going to Nissan corporate. Bob is a good guy and has done right by me in the past though (even when he didn't have to)

chieuxuan · 10-11-2012, 10:04 AM

I'll just have to wait until my car is on the lift and I will go off. Still sitting and wait for the tow. &@$;:/-!?'

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 10:39 AM

Try not to flip out and yell. Just calmly present the facts and ask what he intends to do about it.

b1adesofcha0s · 10-11-2012, 11:27 AM

That sucks man! Yeah I definitely wouldn't go back there for oil changes.

chieuxuan · 10-11-2012, 11:33 AM

I stay calm all the times but my chin muscles won't let me. They blame on my oil cooler, that's so nice. Oh yeah, no more oil change and will be a bad cus. survey.

tonybui · 10-11-2012, 11:43 AM

daedalus.customs never answer my emails. Called them, talked to some dude, he said he will check the price and call me back "real quick" ... never did. wtf? I wanna pay just to get my headlights done

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 12:00 PM

Tony, They're BRAND new. They just settled into their new shop/office.

They met with me last night after hours and laid out options etc. They're just starting up so be patient. They now have a facebook page up and look to have a website up and running shortly.

Not going to post their facebook page here because I think they're not a sponsor (yet) and that might be against the rules.

That's crap. Did you speak to bob? You went from brand new oil change to NO oil in the engine in one day due to an oil cooler? It's like 50 degrees outside. Unless you were trying to break the sound barrier with the car, that makes absolutely zero sense.

So check what I found (and immediately purchased) for super cheap on ebay.

Three questions:
-I'm obviously keeping the lenses - also the bulbs but does anyone want my old ones (they have defects but nowhere near as bad as some of the others). You can have them for free or buy me a beer or something. Whatever.

-Does anyone want to help me defray costs a bit by buying other parts like the housings/ballasts etc?

-Does anyone know a good customs shop that would handle cannibalizing the new lights and fixing up the old ones? I can't seem to find a shop willing to handle it. Preferably one around the DC area but I'm somewhat flexible.

Are you planning on selling the internal housing? I might be interested depending on how much you wanna sell it for.

Yup, I installed the cooler just right after the 2nd oil change and haven't had a problem until now. Did talk to Bob and he try to get a leak down compression test for me later today. Hopefully the leak test comes out good. Crossed fingers

Yikes! I just got my oil changed there an hour or so ago. After reading this, I ran out to check the level just in case.

That really sucks. Hope they make things right for you.
