Riverton motors invoice# 6209533 / 6206861/1 4/11/19 the day after the engine fire, i received a call from fred uribe (service rep.) from the riverton motors service center. He stated that there was oil all over and it needed repair. I told him that the car was in for an engine fire and i never had an oil or any car leaks. He told me it would be ~$600 to repair the oil cooler leak and it needed to be repaired before the engine fire issue. A few days later fred called and said it was actually a transmission fluid leak. They diagnosed the fire as being started from the transmission fluid leak? The invoice wrongly stated that i reported a leak needing repair and not the fire i reported!!! I informed riverton motors that there was an engine fire and not any leaks. Invoice incorrectly stated: customer stated vehicle has a coolant leak, later stated the customer stated vehicle has an oil leak. And then vehicle found the radiator leaking. The invoice did not state the actual reason for the service was an engine fire!!!!
