I've got one for you....My car was in the shop for 2 MONTHS (at the dealership). It is only 3 years old and has been in excellent condition. Some kind of service note was sent out because the intake gasket was bad on that particular year and model. Well, they don't have to notify you because it is not a safety issue. Coming home from Raleigh one Sunday afternoon, mine decides to blow and my car runs hot. I take it in, they change the gasket (after a week). I call GM and raise cain. They decided they would pay 30%...i feel like they should notify people of this stuff, espec. since they are recommending to be changed for FREE! Well, after that fix that, they notice something still is not right. They send the heads to the shop, they come back fine. So, now they call and tell me my whole block is cracked, I need a new motor.
The car sits there, daddy keeps calling and seeing what the deal is (my parents live in VA). I borrow my mom's car for two months. Finally, they call and tell me that the car is ready...mom comes down here with me on Sun. and spend the night. She goes with me to the dealership to pay and stuff. Now, I need a new battery. They want to charge $125 + labor...uh, can I say Advance Auto! Nothing was wrong with the battery before I took it in. My cd's in the visor thing were missing, still not found. But they kept throwing out that they Washed and Detailed it for me. They for some reason could not print my mom off the bill that day, she only could get a credit card reciept for $3500! When they sent the bill, nothing was itemized, it just had the grand total at the bottom. We really don't know what the parts cost, or if we were charged triple.
Now, my car is still not right, brand new motor on a 3 year old car and the service engine soon light came on yesterday!
UGHHHHHHHHHH!
