So I just got a car and it had trouble starting. I took it back to the dealership where i got it and they sent me to there mechanic and they told me it was the injectors and it was mixing oil with gas. they were going to replace it but now I'm doubting if the car will still be reliable. or if there will be bigger problems in the future?

It all depends on the time it was run that way. If it just started with the hard starting issue and you didn't try to ignore it there shouldn't be any real problem. They should repair the problem, then do an oil and filter change to get any fuel out of the oil. Then when you get it back you may want to run it a few hundred miles and change the oil and filter again. Long term I doubt it will have much impact.
