Leaking Trans Fluid

[robalero]

I hope your not paying for this repair, I got a feeling they did it maybe not intentionally but by accident specially if they forgot to torqued down the bolts on the pan

Update : Leak should be fixed completely but i'll know for sure in the morning if there is any hint of pink in the snow.

I told the "certified master tech" at the shop that I thought it was the IAC valve in the first place causing the car to not stay on and he told me "nope it shouldn't be" Well it was the iac valve...morons..they put in a new ac delco iac valve for me and the car is running perfect now. I took the old iac valve (which i replaced 2 weeks) back to autozone (EFF DURALAST) and demanded my money back. They basically told me nope, store credit or a swap for another iac valve. Yeah sure i'll take a replacement POS duralast iac valve that will fail again in 2 weeks...no I took the store credit for $85.59. So if anyone wants this card PM me i'll give you a little discount.

That's what you get for buying Duralast brand parts in your car. Should take the store credit and use it for filters and fluids and get real parts at a real auto parts store like NAPA or CarQuest. Only exception might be a battery or other special ordered parts at Autozone to get a better brand that they don't normally stock in the store.

Lesson learned I suppose. The first duralast replacement lasted 9 months so I mean that wasn't too bad but once this second one went in less than 2 weeks it was just like, "wow, seriously?"
