about 2 hours later in comes her Audi on a hook and after a quick minute she comes in,,my boss showed her the filter,,her new engine was close to 6,000 $ in 1994 money,,I will NEVER use a quick lube,,period
I am sure the Quick Lube reimbursed her. For the price of an oil filter perhaps . . .

Glad to hear that. I am sure her case was helped by the fact there were witnesses.
