Car help...

[Ja Rhule]

I took my car for maintenance to Scott Clark yesterday.  They chnaged oil and cleaned something around my engine...  When I got back in my car and start driving, I notice white smoke coming out of my exhaust pipe and it smelled like burned chemical.  About 5 minutes later smoke went away so I decided not to go back to dealership...  I drove to Winston Salem and back with no issues.  Then today I got on highway and accelerated and when I looked back there was insane cloud of thick white smoke and even when I stop accelerating, the thick white smoke still coming out hard out of my exhaust pipe...  wtf did they do to my car?

what kind of car?  Is it a turbo?

[Ja Rhule]

No, Toyota Camry...  I'm pissed.  I called dealership and dude told me to bring it in tomorrow.  I told him should I tow it and he was like... no just drive it...  I read online and everyone says not to drive it... lol.  Wonder if they put too much oil in...

sounds like you have a coolant leaking into your oil.

you have a busted head gasket/broken seal.  This will not be cheap. very common in crappy toyotas

My car went into dealership normal, came out smoking and I have to pay for it?

Make a stink if this never happened prior to the oil change.

prove it? chances are when they refilled your oil etc.  it caused more pressure and your worn seals just finally gave out.

Well, the smoke that comes out of my exhaust is not sweet at all...

My car is only 4 years old...  I don't think that seal is very worn...

[chknwing]

lol chances are ARSEN is freaking out over water vapor from the cold weather.  but like I said, if its white smoke, you are burning something other than oil, normally coolant.  If its coolant, then you will need to have the seals replaced. enjoy your new $2000 car bill.  Also more good news, you car wont pass an emissions test when you get it inspected, no inspection, no tag renewal.
