I use Ferman Chevy in East Tampa/Brandon. One of their fleet sales guys has a 1LE as well and also tracks his so I feel fairly safe about service being performed there. They had no issues setting up my car with -2.7 camber up front and -1.9 in the back.

I bought the car at Stringray, I have nothing bad to say about them. They actually set the car up with the track alignment during PDI..

As for doing your own maintenance, I keep receipts of what I put in the car and a log of when it was done, mileage, etc. I've owned 5 or 6 new cars that never saw the dealer except for warranty work and no one has ever asked about maintenance. Now if they drained the oil and it came out like thick sludge I could see them asking.. that would never be a problem on something I own
I didn't mean it like you had intentions of bashing, I just dont want to sound like I am bashing them too hard myself.. yet anyways lol.

I bought my car at Dimmit but that's too far of a drive for emergencies and what not. After my 2 free oil changes I will probably start doing it myself and just document it. Wesley chapel does offer full synthetic changes for $50 which is pretty decent on a car that takes 10 quarts in my opinion.

I hope that along with the diff these guys checked my brakes and e brake as I told them that one or the other was clearly actuating when it wasn't supposed when I had the issues. They said it was probably diff fluid leaking on them that caused that but I'd like to be sure just to make sure, and that the brake lock up didn't tax the diff and contribute to the failure.
