picked it up today. they said there was nothing wrong with the tranny, unless it stores a code or the truck doesn't move when they put it in D there's nothing they can do. it was fine on the way back from the stealership, but i am still concerned. the service writer had a femullet so i have a hard time taking anyone there seriously. they ordered a part for under the heater motor that broke off and i threw out the window, under warranty, it wasn't there yet despite what they told me when i called, so they're just going to ship it to me. the usual complaints about rattles were not addressed. i ended up talking to the service manager... i inquired about correcting my address in the computer (they mail shit to my neighbors) and the he said "oh i can't do that until next time you bring it in." i said "i don't think there's going to be a next time." i also talked to the owner of the dealership and told him i'd never buy a vehicle there because of his disservice department.
so let's review... dealerships that suck:
preston GMC, new castle, PA (sold it to me)
smith - gray GMC, meadville, PA (last servicing dealership)
snyder GMC, mercer PA (refused to work on it)
not building up a very good track record. i'm going to try the dealership where my girl bought her envoy, they seem to know what they're doing. if not this is my last GM truck. even if it didn't have problems, the service network, at least around here, is a joke. i still want to trade the truck. after i get my settlement check, i'll try... again. sorry for all the bitching. just disappointed.
