If memory serves, he also has a C7 or two.

Not all dealership service departments are incompetent. There are plenty of shitty small non-dealer service shops too.
Bottom line is that everyone needs to do their due diligence and research to find a good one, dealership or not. |

My issue has been finding a dealer with good sales and service. I have dealt with 5 different dealer that one half of it sucked. The one I take it to for service told me I had to fill out and sign a credit application to pay cash/check when buying. They lost a sale on my first attempt at a 6th. Glad they did though, like my 2SS better.
I have bought two Mazda's from the same dealer because their sales team is fantastic. I'm not sure if I will go back for my next Mazda because their service dept is THAT bad. I had gotten a great deal on 4 month oil changes, rotations, and full Mazda spec inspections for 3 years for around $40 each. My 5th or 6th I had to buy a new drain plug because "I" stripped it. I said "this is so stupid I would rather pay the $7 than waste my time explaining how stupid this is"

It is really painful.
When I bought my car they slammed the door and damaged the paint. I had to listen to them say I needed to be happy because "they gave me a good deal". I got the first oil change. No tire rotation by my request. Miles were input wrong in the computer. Now the carfax will look wrong. They did that with my other car too, now I have a gap in the reports. I think all this is on purpose and helps revenue. People are more likely to trade in if they can't keep their car well mantained or don't trust service / mechanics. |

BTW the A10 is a very-very similar design, it's foolish to treat is as if it were some magic unicorn part. Things in the real world are nuanced.

I also take my breaker bar and torque bar with me to tire changes. As soon as they are done, I re-do them LOL!

My local Chevy dealer was pretty good for a while, then things went south. I needed an oil change and alignment and guess what, they no longer have the equipment for alignments. Then it was time for tires, so I called them. Yep they would find what I needed, except they didn’t and didn’t bother to call me back. A week later I follow up and am told, ‘we can’t find tires for your car, sorry’.
WTF, you’re a Chevy dealership and can’t find tires for a four year old Chevy AND don’t bother to call and let me know after I’ve been doing business with you for four years? Funny, the local discount tire store had them in stock. Less than an hour wait and I drive out with four new tires, balanced and aligned. Bye Bellamy Strickland. |

The SS 1LE has the same adjustable suspension as the STD ZL1. Only the ZLE has the spool valve dampers which are non-adjustable...

Regular SS has FE3 suspension with regular shocks/struts. (Same suspension pieces were given to the LT 1LE with appropriate springs for the weight difference) SS can be optioned with MRC but keeps FE3 suspension pieces SS 1LE has FE4 with MRC and different suspension tuning for the FE4 suspension pieces and LT1 engine weight ZL1 has FE4 with MRC and the suspension tuning is specifically for the ZL1 ZL1 1LE uses DSSV and not MRC

Yes, that can be a major issue, at tire shops as well, where incorrect, careless lifting will damage sills & underbody, with possibly thousands of dollars damage.
