Stripped drain plug hole, told normal? Lol

Oh and by the way it's nice of your son to help you out.

 

Have them invoice the repair for your records. Then frame it.

 

Keep the old pan for grins.

 

Dang, this thing is on there tight!!!....... Oh crap, that's right... it's counterclockwise..

 

Picked it up last night, good as new!

 

Success!

 

Pretty difficult to deny it was their fault when you have the receipts showing they did all the work.

Toyota designers did a good job making the oil pan a small, easily removed design. Every time I change the oil I see that someone did have a good idea and incorporated it.

You could still return to this dealer, just find the service manager that you dealt with and tell him you don't want the stripped pan again so let an experienced tech accomplish the task. Or just let you son do it.
