They didn't change the oil (I will take it in for that)
I want to see a scope into cylinder 7 for any possible damage (I will get that done)
To think I had a fiber optic scope but when I retired I gave it to the guy that worked on all of our city vehicles.
I traded my 2017 corvette vert for this car to have her park her Cadillac suv because I wanted to share the miles, as she drive 33 miles to work every day She didn't drive the corvette because of blind spots. The camaro didn't have that problem with her. I went through all the transmission issues with the A8 on the corvette But the car never broke down in the 4 years I had it. Now this car left her on the side of the road at 3am in the morning. That bothers me The fact that GM had a recall before they sold me a car that was subject to break down.

This is why I do not buy into the whole "well, it's under warranty if it breaks it breaks don't worry about it".
If the stereo breaks, fine, you can drive it around until you get it fixed. If a failure that causes the car to be inoperable occurs, it's a major ordeal. Especially if you're stranded on the highway at 3 in the morning.
That's why something like this is inexcusable and GM needs to issue a full scale recall on them, mail letters to the owners advising people to stop driving their cars, GM then needs for their dealers to arrange for towing the cars to the dealer for replacement of the valve springs, and in the mean time provide the customer with a free loaner.
The continued incompetence of that company is mind blowing, baffling, and quite sad. I love my Camaro like everyone here, but I do not mince words when I say I am not a fan of GM as a company. Since their bankruptcy you'd think they'd have learned their lesson. Obviously not.
There are other car companies who would have quickly done all of that and the Camaros with the bad run of valve springs would have all been fixed with the good valve springs by now and everyone would be happy.
