I bought my car from a mechanic friend knowing that it would require a new clutch and a new timing chain. This required the engine being removed. Despite the car having a "Service due in 5/2016" notification no other work appears to have been done besides changing the clutch and timing chain/tensioners. I never received any notification of other issues and the service light was never re-set.

Six weeks later I brought the car in for an inspection, in part to see what the service light was all about and in part because my mechanic friend told me that she it was probably time for a coolant flush. I dropped the car off, they said the car was due for an oil change, a micro filter change and a brake fluid change. In doing the oil change they found two large leaks which resulted in them needing to drop the subframe *again*.

While it is totally possible that these leaks didn't exist before the second visit, the car was only driven 8-10 times between visits and it appears that no other checks were performed during its initial visit. Additionally, the service due 5/2016 notification still appears.
