hey all, so i had my 04Z06 over at woodfield chevy for some issues i was having..i have taken my vette there before for a broken valve spring.
when i would get on it and go through the gears i would grind 4th gear and sometimes it wouldnt even let me into 4th gear..so i figured my synchros are going bad..so i took my car into woodfield chevy because i still have a month left of warranty..i keep in touch with the service manage every day and he told me they couldn't find anything wrong except for some markings on the synchros and what their gonna do is "overhaul" my trans and just replace everything..but there is one part that got discontinued..mind you this is only a $1.50 part..i think he said snap ring or somethin..so he tells me it looks like their going to have to order a whole new trans..which of course i said sweet! and had nooooo problem with that haha.brand new trans for the price of a $100 deductable.:naughty:..they got stuck with a $4900 bill because of a $1.50 part..
.now on to the things i HAVE a problem with..
my car was at woodfield for a little over a week..(got it back today)...yesterday i go in to woodfield to check out my car..i go in the shop and see my car in the air with 4 jacking arms holding it up..now this being a CHEVY dealer they should know on corvettes the rocker panels made of plastic reinforced fiberglass wraps under the frame and that their are notches to put jacking pucks in place to not put any pressure on the fiberglass..i go check out my car and immediately i notice..the Arms are right on my fiberglass with NO pucks..( as u can see in the picture below)..and i notice on the driver side some nice chips and scratches in the paint right next to the arms..i go to the passenger side and the fiberglass where both arms are are CRACKED alll the way through ..i talk to the mechanic and tell them their suppose to use pucks and all he has to say oh we try to be very careful with these cars being corvettes and such n such..i go straight to the service manager and tell him about the cracks n he said he will go back there with his manager n check it out..talk to his manager today and he said i can bring it in next week or setup a appointment with a body shop to get it the damages fixed and replaced..other than all that i recieved my car veerryyy filthy which i didnt have a problem with because i dont want them using shop towels to clean my car but what pissed me off was that there was grease on my front fender close to the wheel well..:madfawk:
moral of the story i wont be taking my car back there ever again
sorry for the long story just needed to vent a little haha
