just paid to have intake gasket replaced and now runs worse!

[justmegal]

I just paid good money to have the intake manifold replaced although my car was not overheating, it was leaking around the gasket. I also had oil in the overflow coolant tank (BAD). When I went to pick the car up and pay the bill, first thing I did was look into the overflow tank and guess what? SAME oil in there like it was. SO, I asked them to clean it out and put new antifreeze in it. He did and I WATCHED. Driving home, the low coolant light is STILL on and SES light is off (only because they disc. the battery for the 3 hours it took to replace the gasket). NEXT day, SES light back on for good and low coolant light ALWAYS on..so, I check the overflow and guess what? IT"S EMPTY! PLUS...the car is now running terrible...sounds like a plug miss...always ran excellent before. I'm female and getting SO tired of being screwed over my stupid mechanics..Any suggestions???

Absolutely, take it back to them, stop the check and/or dispute the charge, we cannot diagnose their work from here.
