Surprised by GREAT experience at local dealer
- brought the beast in to local chevy dealer( I didn't buy the car from them, and they cud not care less)...
had to fix the clicking noise and get 1st oil change... dropped da beast off at 9 am- they called at 11 and said it was ready. - picked the car up..they hand washed it...and no drama. Problem fixed.. I'm posting this because I was fully expecting "drama" of some sort... a dent(heaven forbid)..joy riding..something.. - I guess some dealers still have some "pride"- congrats to CHEVY for building an amazing car! (albeit with some known fixable quirks..lol |

My local dealer is good too. You only hear about the bad experiences. Stupid forums!

That's cool that they did their jobs without drama. But I would NOT be happy if the dealer washed my car. I bet you have a bunch more swirls in the paint now.

I had them make a note in my "file" to never wash the car. Every time I go in I make sure they don't wash it. They always comment, "smart move by you and the corvette guys." Lol.

There is a 2 week 1000 mechanic strike in the Chicago area, can't even get service if needed from most GM dealers right now. It's good you are happy and yes Chevy did awesome on ZL1.

Just the other day I had to shake my head driving by a dealership. It was after a rainstorm the night before and the dealer had a couple younger guys with a couple towels going from car to car wiping them down. No rinsing the cars first or anything just dry towel to car and drying in circles. Can't imagine how bad each of the cars paint looked after. |

I use a local touch less car wash and wash it 3 times a week lol. It stays nice and no swirl marks. My car is silver and that helps a lot! Dark colors are brutal.
