I had full oil change at Ford dealership at 8100 miles with next oil change at 14,300. My oil light kept coming on and I didn’t trust going back to dealer so I went to Pennzoil on Wayne Rd in Livonia, MI. I explained what happened and then changed my oil. I asked why the oil light was still on and he said I had to turn it off manually. What? He was a bit arrogant but did show me how to turn it off, claiming I need to do this after every oil change or light stays on. So instead of being honest when I arrived and even seeing the Ford oil sticker they removed from car, rather then keeping a future customer, he charged me for unnecessary oil change. They Dealer didn’t reset and first I heard of such a stupid Ford tool. I’lll never go to another Pennzoil.

This is a complaint on the Oil Changes you closed up on Eurka; Rd. In Taylor. I had my car serviced and according to auto lab on the 1 Apr. 2019. The vaccumn advance was loosened when they serviced my vechicle. This caused me a great deal of work; calling insurance and trying to explain the tow home on 30 Mar 2019 after my car died. I went to Oil changers and they had closed. The only resolve is to contact you! My insurance would not tow; due to the fact I had used 3 tow for a 6 Month period. I emailed Progressive they said to contact you. I had to pay out of pocket to get my car fixed. Vavoline took over the shop that Penzoil operated; It was suggested I contact corporate. I had used Penzoil for several months before; with no problem. I wanted to be compensated for $50.00 for this mistake on your part!
