did you drive for 2 weeks with no oil? probably not.  
do you have a leak somewhere? maybe.  
is he supposed to check coolant level during oil change? no.  
no oil. and no red oil pressure light on dash?  
no coolant and no overheating light on dash?  
no funny smells in last 2 weeks?

Those are the key questions.  
I wonder if we will get answers to those questions…
