Yes it was running when I checked it and yes it was overfull pulled out dipstick wiped it off and was still way over the full line even with engine cold just started I checked it was overfull even warm it was over the full line
what does the paperwork from the shop say?
something to the effect of topped off fluid?
or did they charge you for x-xx quarts of fluid?
changing the cooler line would likely result in very little fluid loss. since almost all the fluid is in the transmission when it is off

Get a fluid transfer pump to take some fluid out but the damage has already been done from the sounds of it.

Also who in their right mind names themselves ok tire? I wouldn't be getting any services done by a place with ok in their name unless I was in Oklahoma.

When dropped off the fluid level was in the middle off the cross sectioned full level indicator. The vehicle was warm driving on the highway when I pulled over to check the level “ with it still running” and was still over full, wiped it off did it 2 more times indicated way over the full indicator

Sounds like OK Tire only hires OK techs that say everything they do is OK when they are done.

Might look for another shop that is more than OK.
