Oil Pan Leak

[Guty]

I recently got an oil change from this shitty place down the street from my house... when i got the car back i noticed that there were clouds of smoke coming out from under the hood.

I looked to see what the problem was and found out that that the oil pan was loose. Those bastards took off the oil pan to drain the oil from the car. Now its leaking and i dont want to take it back to those bastards cuz im pertty sure that nothing good can come from them.

Any of you guys know what i can do to fix this problem? Im sure its not too hard to do.

you could always upgrade to a nice shiny aluminum one
unless you have to drive down dirt roads like me
seriously though, like civic said, its probably your gasket.

I can understand how you don't want to use them again, but they should be obligated to pay your bill when you get it fixed. When you let a certified mechanic or establishment work on your car, you shoulda got a receipt, which is just like buying a tv. If the tv fucks up, get a refund. Go back to those guys and tell them you want your money back, or that you want them to pay for your bill from another mechanic or to pay for the materials you had to pay for to fix it, its only fair, give em hell.
