Classic Chevrolet (Sugar Land): oil changes, recalls, transmission replacement, 15k service, noises from front suspension. No problems on the oil changes or transmission replacement. Never really fixed anything for the front suspension noise but said they reseated the bushings. My biggest gripe with them is their lack of completing all work on the service ticket. I brought my car in for the spoiler nut falling off issue and the HVAC software update last year and they failed to do that work once they couldn't figure out how to do the PDIM software update. Return trip needed when spoiler nuts fell off in the trunk lid a few months down the road. Also, just had them do their 15k service on my Camaro yesterday, which included checking the battery connections and applying something to prevent corrosion at the terminals, among other things. Told me they were all done so I opened my trunk (which was full of stuff) and nothing had been moved. Oops, the tech must of forgot to do the battery work. Jeez, what else did he "forget" to do as part of the service...
I think my best experience was at Champion Chevrolet on Hwy 6 so they will become my primary service department, even though they are out of my way to get to.

The closest dealer to me is actually Davis Chevrolet but I really wasnt too happy with them when I took my truck there a couple of times. I believe I had two oil changes there for my truck and also had my rear passenger side door looked at because it wouldn't open from the inside. I had not noticed but I guess the issue had been when I had aftermarket speakers installed, the installer somehow removed a screw or unlatched something connected to the inside door handle. Well Davis service department noticed this and told me that my warranty would not cover this and they could fix it for $150.00. I know this was my fault for having speakers installed but I'm sure they could have helped me out in someway. Well anyways I never went back.
I bought my Camaro at Mac Haik so I might try them.
My dad just bought a truck on Monday from Allen Samuels and the finance guy there was telling me that they have $9.95 oil change and are open on Sundays. I know it would cost more for Camaro owners but it still might be a better deal than the rest, I will have to call them.
Champion doesnt seem to be too far either, I will have to check them out.
I just wanted to get a feel from the Camaro drivers here in Houston to see if somebody had a specific service department that you feel really comfortable with.
thanks
