I visited this location a few days ago for an oil change and inspection. While there we were advised to get a fuel treatment done which we agreed to. We left and vehicle worked well up until this morning, there was smoke coming from under the hood of our vehicle. When we looked under the hood there was some fluids that had not been topped off and we were not advised at the location that we needed fluids. We had to go to the auto parts store and purchase fluids that we should have been told were low or completely out. I will probably not go back to this location for that reason because we paid a pretty penny for the oil change and fuel treatment. I just feel like someone should have told us about the fluids needing attention so that we could have paid the extra to have them topped off.
