My wife had a oil change done by the dealer of her 2005 sunfire and she drove it home and to work the next day aprox 15 miles when she got to work her oil light was on and the engine was making a loud rubbing sound. The dealer had the car towed and is looking into it but we are concerened that their is damage done and that the car will not be the same should we be concerned

It seems to me that you should have some concerns about this. If you lost that much oil in that short of time and miles somethings not right. Can you tell if
it leaked out around filter or pan drain plug? Possibly
someone got in too big a hurry and didn't get things tightened up quite right? Hearing noises like you say is not a good thing to me! Hopefully you stopped in time before any major damage could be done. Keep fingers crossed, hope everything comes out smooth!

Definatly that sounds like what happened. Keep all paperwork that they gave you, just incase they say they didn't do it.
