May it mean that they DIDN"T use one of those fancy new extensions that
apply the correct torque automatically? Just a guess. bob

Fram had something like this for sale many years ago. I bought one, but

Re: 98 accord needs oil pan
Well, I already spoke to the service manager at my dealer who after quoting
me the outrageous price of $380 I very politely explained to him that HIS
service dept is likely responsible for the stripped plug. His response was
NO, it was age and the best he would do is discount the bill a whipping
10%!!!
When Jiffy Lube did it to my '88 Accord I complained to corporate who
promptly and without argument reimbursed me for my new pan. But my
dealer.....?????
Now I am pissed and am ready to go corporate to Honda as well.
Any suggestions on that route??
Thanks again,
Matthew
