    I think he was talking about revenue.

    oh, so you were not there when this happened. it was your driver who was told to start the truck.

    i wonder what the oil level was BEFORE the pm was done?

    This happened to me today...not a TA though, it was Steward & Stevenson in San Antonio, TX...

    Went in to get 2 injectors replaced, and they left all the bolts in the valve cover just finger tight....about 40-50 miles down the road and a call to road service...here I sit with oil all over the engine and a mechanic tightening the valve cover.

    So it definitely is worth staying with your truck while it is being serviced instead of loafing in the TV room or playing video games!

    So which is it? Were you there or was your driver there? seems kinda fishy. I would get your story straight before going to a lawyer.
