Default This is what happens when you drive 250 miles without an oil cap

My daughters boyfriend took in his Focus for an oil change to a Ford Dealership. They apparently left the oil cap off.

That will never all come clean. Not to mention the engine damage from lack of oil. They owe them a new car.

Was the engine seized up? As much as it sucks I can't imagine a shop paying to replace an engine if their wasn't obvious damage done.
