We are on our second cross country vacay from Seattle to New York in our 2018 Stelvio. In preparation for this drive, we had the oil/filter changed, as well as purchasing 4 new tires. We also had new brake pads and rotors. So it was "weird" to see the warning light turn on "requiring oil change" while in Rapid City, SD. Oil setting on infotainment showed low oil..so we added 1qt. According to car manual, after 5min, gauge will reset to current oil level. Followed manual instructions...oil still showing low. Not knowing better, we slowly added another quart. Warning went out, oil level between white indicators-perfect, right? Nope! After an hour of driving "excessive oil" light shows up. We are 300+miles from Sioux Falls, (nearest authorized Alfa Romeo mechanic). It's a Sunday, nothing is opened. AAA will send a tow, but only 1 of the 3 of us will be able to ride the tow truck...what are the other 2 of us to do???? wait in the cold, windy rest stop? We decided to drive (NOT RECOMMENDED!!) We went 140 or so miles before we were too scared to continue. Luckily, at the Vivian Eastbound Rest Stop a female worker gave us info on a mechanic (Jordan) at Charley's Welding Auto Repair in Kennebec and King's Inn in the same area.
King's Inn was available (Nick, owner) then suggested Henriksen Auto Body Towing in Presho (Dave, owner & Don our tow truck driver) 24/7 Everyday!!
All arrangements were made & executed to perfection!!
Huge shoutout to Dave, Don, Nick & Jordan!! We truly appreciate your kindness, speed & expertise!! Our ratings to all of you is a 10!!
