Car Seat Stain Complaint and English Language Lessons

Car Seat Stain Complaint

When my car entered on October 5th, the seats were clean. Now they are stained with grease that may need to be removed from the leather. I don’t want to blame anyone, but I would like this situation to be resolved. I expect my leather seats to be restored at no charge.
