Head Gasket Leak

[Hershey]

forgot to mention that I opened that hood and reached behind the hot engine where it leaks and scooped some fresh oil on my finger tip and showed it to him . He wouldn't even look where the oil came from . Says " It's the head gasket and that's all I need to know " . Wonder if we should of left with the car and went to another TOYO service center ? Thing is , they would have to put dye in it again and go through the whole process again . No one seens to think that I know what I'm talking about . Taking more time and money ( gas ) . . What's your thoughts ? THANKS

A. wouldn't need to put dye in again, it will still be traceable

B. Let him be a snot he isn't the one doing the work (you should have gone to the service DEPARTMENT mgr/similar manager, unless he gave you a card of his you probably were talking to the head service writer)

C. gas meter will not matter if they decide to run more tests, unless they empty the car, best advice is to take the car in with an almost empty tank, cuz they will more than likely have the car sitting somewhere idling with the a/c on at some point.
