I placed my 1995 Pontiac Firefly into the auto repair in The Canadian tire shop to have a very bad oil leak discovered and repaired. The underside of the vehicle was completely saturated in crankcase oil from the engine somewhere. I suggested that the gasket around the oil pan might be loose, so the mechanic simply replaced the gasket and charged the amount of 220 dollars for what he said was one and a half hours work. I drove the car over to Hanover Ontario and the new young mechanic there simply high pressured down the motor and then dried it with air pressure. Then raised the car with the motor idling and quickly discovered a small leak on the side of the block on a shaft oil seal. The cost was half of the cost of the Mt. Forrest Canadian Tire for doing absolutely nothing about the leak or remedying the problem other then charging financial extortion.
