I was instructed to bring the car in again when I had time. At this point, I have made over 10 trips to EuroPro, called & spoke w/ CNA Warranty Corporation- which kept instructing me to contact EuroPro because they completed the work on my Veh.

His response was that he thought I was going to sell my car. I responded with " how can I sell a car if its not running right and with oil leaks". His response was not one of how can I make this right but, it's my fault that I kept my vehicle! I then informed him if he's not willing help with this situation that he was a part of from the beginning that I would file a small claims or BBB compliant and he then stated " my threats don't mean anything to him and to give it my best shot".
