The service is terrible too. John says every trip to service is a crapshoot on whether it comes back better or worse. When he fixed his heater, he found a bunch of missing fasteners from previous work.
*shrug*. His wife wanted it.and after that he STILL bought another one?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!
i dont get it, if any other car company did that people would swear off buying from them ever again.
I find that I'm rarely happy with dealership service. Doesn't matter what brand.and after that he STILL bought another one?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

There’s an independent garage around the corner from me. Over the years I’ve found a screwdriver, crescent wrench, diagnostic computer and phone all left in my truck on separate trips.True, thats why i wont pay for dealership service, but no matter how bad i have never found parts MISSING (even something as simple and potentially benign as screws) after a dealer service, i would be in there fuming if i found that (benign or not, it leaves too many questions about what IMPORTANT stuff they missed, at least for me)

When I decided to void all the warrantees on my VW, part of my rationalization was that i didn't want those guys working on my car anyway. The ONE time I brought my e-golf to the local dealer for a software update, I asked them to rotate my tires, thinking I'd at least give them a few bucks. For my trouble I got a paint chip on the hood that looked exactly like an air chuck and the next time I rotated the tires myself, I found each wheel had 4 lugs banged on with the gun set to kill and the locking nuts hand tight.I find that I'm rarely happy with dealership service.

I find it varies even within a brand, not only for quality but for price. Get this: I needed to get a rear differential fluid drain/fill. My local BMW dealer (5 mins away) wanted $550 for it. The one I prefer to go to (30 mins away) charged me $130. Same service, same fluid. I watched the tech change it. It was a 15 minute job. If I had jacks or a lift I could have done it myself but for $130 and peace of mind I’m ok with that. But $400+ more? Ridiculous.I find that I'm rarely happy with dealership service.

Those are for the fork lift, so the junk yard can move it around easier. These are the biggest POS gm has ever sold to the publicStolen from a FB F-150 group I belong to View attachment 154559
Dealers are independent franchises. They can charge what ever they feel the market will tolerate. The manufacture has no say in this. Always best to shop around.I find it varies even within a brand, not only for quality but for price. Get this: I needed to get a rear differential fluid drain/fill.

Possibly a 409, hard to read the number. SS was a trim option, could even get it with a 6 cyl.@Dingo can correct me if im wrong bc im better with fords of this era than chevys....but pretty sure 62 impala...also pretty sure is an SS bc i remember my dad once telling me the SS' had bucket seats rather then bench seats....cant read what engine tho...283, 327, 409...I think 348s were gone by 62
