Can you elaborate on the situation?

Paid them to fix an oil leak. It was diagnosed as valve cover, from crankshaft, and front cankcase seals. Also asked him to adjust my valves.

My car started leaking again within a week after. Went to get it diagnosed in a different location. Mind the new mechanic showed my everything to prove his points.

Situation: They ran my my van into the top of the rack. New mechanic showed me the front of the engine; oil everywhere and all seals supposedly fixed were still leaking. Also, they over tightened a valve and caused the first pistons location on the crankshaft to be ruined (only one of four piston locations were messed up on the camshaft). Lastly, overfilled my transmission fluid by over a quart (one of the things I asked them to do aswell) and after I drive an hour home the upper radiator hose popped off (the hose clamps were not tightened).

Overall: I need to now get what I got fixed before fix and fix the damage he caused. Per the new mechanic and my eyes, it didn’t look light anyone had touched the front of the engine. Now I need a be camshaft and rocker arms.
Midtown Forgien Auto showed me nothing and charged me 4k.

Old mechanic (that f***** my van up): Midtown Forgein Auto in Sacramento, CA
New mechanic is: Auto & Diesel Services in Orange, CA

P.S. Pardon my lack of proper terminology, learning about cars as I go. The part that is damaged is above the pistons and attaches to the rocker arms (camshaft I think... or crankshaft).

I'm excited to say that I became a new Delica owner as of this morning. It's a 97 L400, and so far, it drives like a dream.
