Two days ago x-wife runs over a curb in her 02 Z28 and knocks a hole in the oil pan...she drives the car home...get's low oil light on the way...a problem the next morning when her driveway is covered in oil. Starts the car gets "Low Oil" light.

She checks the oil see it that the "dipstick" says add and drives the car to her local stop & rob. They "discover" the oil pan has a hole in it. Thanks to the impact with the curb.

She calls me up wanting to know if $1300 is reasonable to drop the engine and replace the oil pan. $850 for labor $350 for oil pan, plus oil tax etc.

I'm like no it's very high. I call her local Chevy dealer who quotes $1000 for it. Another GM dealer quotes $700 for the whole job. Local mechanic quotes $200 for labor just supply the oil pan ($230 new shipped to mechanic) so $500 for the whole deal.

She of course ignores all of this and gets stop and rob to do the repair for $1300...worst bolt on ever.

WOW, I'd have to tell her it's goin in her *** for a couple nights after wasting $1300 on it plus being told not to. Talk about not listening. I bet they wouldn't have charged that much if a woman hadn't brought it in & they knew you knew about these cars & parts cost.

Your ex-wife? Why's it matter, are you paying for it? I don't understand...except for that the price is a tad high.

That's just too funny!

Definately not my problem She only got interested in that 02 LS1 Z28 because she couldn't drive the T/A with it being an M6...in the 14 1/2 years we were together the T/A is the only car we had that she didn't wreck or total...and that was only because she couldn't drive it. Her Z28 has been wrecked (by her) with in $500 of being totaled two times...

It's not everyday someone runs over a curb, knocks a hole their oil pan, keeps driving the car, asks for advice on the cost of the repair, decides not to listen, and goes with the highest quote.

or, since it was hers..

leave it alone and do burnouts until the rods escaped the block and what was left of the oil pan.

I wouldn't have involed myself and laughed..

All Black SS

And what would pull the tow dolly?


Got any pics of the pan?
I'd have hosed it down with brake cleaner and welded it back up with it on the car.
