$500 oil change?
In dealing with the service department. I called in advance and made an appointment - the EGR code they previously diagnosed but could not get parts for -I was bringing it back for that service since the oil was now due as well. I detailed what was needed. I left my key in the dropbox with a list of what was needed on the car. I emailed a reply to their email about my service appointment. When I received a text from my service department contact, I gave him the same list of things that were needed And none of them were done. Aside from the oil change and air filter so I again repeated what I brought it in for. They charged almost $200 for hooking it up to their computer to tell me what was wrong was what I told them was wrong, I had also told them again that the infotainment system needed an update so they charged me another $200 to hook it up to the computer for that too. I ended up spending about $500 on an oil change and air filter because they’re quote for the EGR valve was $2400. And a two week wait and I had to pay in advance. Ignored other items on my request entirely as well. At this point I said no to that and went into pick up my car, I was sticker shocked with $520 when all was accomplished was an oil change and air filter and a software update. The service representative I dealt with was rather curt unapologetic and told me I was the one who refused service and they couldn’t service it without diagnostics (like the EGR valve was going to improve?) He had a lot of in-house awards all around his workstation, so they appreciate and reward his disorganized, crap communication and curt demeanor. So, if you go to AutoNation Chevrolet expect to have a similar experience, they will quote you $1500 in labor to replace a $400 part $200 twice to hook it up to their computer to tell you that it’s still bad just like last time when they didn’t have one available to order. Highly recommend you find anywhere else for service, I have a deposit for a new Silverado EV that I will be canceling as a result of my experience with the service department. Based on this and the last time I went there for service - I don’t understand how they have a star rating this high, seems highly overrated.
