Mechanic Oil Change Mishap

Hi Anyone/Everyone,

Last Friday I got an oil change. Since then my car has smelled funny- figured some was spilled on the engine, no big deal.

Last night, driving home from work, my engine made a tick-tick-tick sound and the check oil light went on. I pulled in at home and realized they hadn't put the cap back on the engine.

I called the shop, they came over, told me "caps fall off all the time" and the most I got out of it was a free oil change. It's not a chain, it is a reputable shop in town, but it's small. I'm concerned about wear and tear on the engine. any help?

Thank you very much.
