I watched once as a kid in his early 20s did the oil change. It was fine but still gives ya pause to think.
There are more than a couple stories on this forum of SS owners getting home, checking their oil, and finding only 5 quarts in it.
Last year someone who’d just bought a brand new C8 was treated to another brand new one by his dealer, as the techs lifted it wrong when he brought it in for the first oil change and it fell off the lift. Totaled, destroyed, cracked the chassis right through.
Especially the C8s, you would think dealers have completely dedicated service for those cars now that they’re mid-engine and have a dual clutch transmission.
Same 20 year old kids change the oil on them and the Cruze 4 banger right next to it.

I remember reading about that C8. I can’t imagine how the owner felt after seeing the car like that. Really makes you wonder who you can trust anymore.
Moral of the story, Chevy service sucks. We’re all better off doing the work with an independent specialist shop or even doing the work yourself! If somebody here actually has a trustworthy unicorn Chevy dealer, congrats to you.
OP: I’m glad your dealer came around to fix the car for you. Be sure you do another walk around with your service advisor and record a video at the dealer just incase *knock on wood* the tech manages to mess something else up.
