  Came in for oil change, on 3/31/17 invoice # 24514. They told me my oil pan plug was loose, I asked them if it was the plug, or the oil pan threads that were stripped (or both). They told me the oil pan threads were stripped, I made a mental note to do an oil pan repair, and left the premises after the oil change, wiper replacement and radiator flush. Later that night I was backing out of my driveway to go to work, and noticed a (verified) oil puddle where I was parked, so I stopped and checked my oil plug, and it was leaking. So, naturally I went to tighten the plug, and found it to be stripped (as expected). So I took my wife's car to work (I am now late), so the plug will not fall out on the 16 mile drive to work. All night I stressed on how to do the repair, do I have to replace the oil pan? Can I install a helicoil? Can I just tap the the hole and install an oversized plug? So the following morning I bought an new oil drain container, 5 quarts of oil, a rubber plug (remember I was expecting the oil pan threads to be stripped, "I always expect the worse, that way, I am never disappointed") and various other taps, plugs, and etc. Anyway, i gathered my repair items and removed the plug, and to my surprise and pleasure found the plug to be stripped and not the oil pan boss! I then torqued (properly) the new plug with new gasket and like magic no more leak! Anyway obviously, these 2 guys at valvoline express on aloma, did not understand basic mechanic skills. Therefore, I can't recommend this station/group.
