"Really?"

I told him well, of course, an oil change takes them 2.5 hours.
Oh dear.

Yeah. I went to that dealer 3 times. All we're scheduled appointments and I was VERY clear on what I was coming in for.

1st visit, 1st free oil change and examine the paint flaking off the "Camaro" on the engine cover. Told them we needed the car in 2 hours. Took 2.5 hours.

2nd visit. Replace the engine cover. (Yes, the pieces that pull the off an you just push on). 1.5 hours(an hour of this the advisor just completely forgot to see if it was done)

3rd visit. Oil change and examine lit door sill plate lettering. 2.5 hours. I think they did a short test drive too(the in and out mileage was two miles different. All they do to get into the shop from drop off is a right turn 10-20 feet past the drop off, and to drive two miles you would need to circle the dealer 5 or more times. Not sure if that was before or after they were revving it.)

That sucks.
You must have used Ryan's tire shop.

Yeah, it was unplugged when I got the car back. To be fair the charger that powers it gets knocked loose easily.

Changed to my new license plate ( after transferring the title/registration to Cherokee Nation,) and got a call that the door sill plates have arrived. From the good service dealer and yesterday from the bad service dealer, so it's obvious the first one forgot. One dealer took 12 days to get them(after being told they were 2 days away) and 1.5 hours to look at the problem, the other took 5 mins to look at the problem, and 2 days to get the part.

Guess which one is getting my business

Replaced the plastic around the trunk latch, had a crack in it, and gave her the weekly bath.

Finalized install of the new 19 rear view mirror by adding a camera in the 1LE rear deck lid spoiler, at the same time added home link and a radar detector in the car at the same time.

Love the color, break, and wheel combo going on there! Your front bumper is way off color from the rest of the body though. If you had a shop do it as part of a repaint, I hope it was free or you got a refund.
