Recall notice for 2009 Aveo's

[Ratchet104]

from what the service writer told me on tuesday, the procedure takes 2 hours.

Well this "Honest" Dealership lied to you. The Procedure only pays half an hour to do and should take about 20minutes once the technician has your car in the shop. maybe with waiting it'll take 2 hours, but it's a pretty straight forward repair.

I hope they were talking about the wait from the time you arrive to the time you leave as well. I have change my plugs in my car numerous times i'm down to 20 minutes with getting tools out, and putting everything away..

My dad took my Aveo in for me. He was at the dealership for maybe 1 1/2 to 2 hours. But, I also had an oil change scheduled at the same time, so I'd say an hour's work altogether for those 2 things, plus waiting time between them. It probably didn't help that my mom also took her truck in for the parking brake handle (also at the same time, even got an oil change set up right then and there for the truck), and they were sort of waiting to hear what was going on with the truck.

but you also have to Remember: Alexander Chevrolet-Buick-GMC has to Cover a VERY LARGE area of SEVERAL counties, seeing as the Other nearest GM dealers in my area are OVER 30 Miles away!

EDIT: Got that recall done today, and i can already tell a HUGE Difference in acceleration!

Chevrolet is not the only car company having troubles with their cars, but even Toyota Company is working on the recall of over 5million automobiles in the U.S. alone. Another 5 million models are targeted in other countries around the world. The recall is over a faltering master switch in the driver's door that has been responsible for additional than 150 fires.

My chevy dealer told me after the recall install I had to come in every 5000 miles and have my spark plugs replaced. Has anyone else heard such a thing?

Car dealers and car salesmen say all sorts of irregular things (lies, inaccuracies, etc.) constantly. It's part of the sleazy game they play, and the business of running an auto dealership.

Does that mean you should believe anything or everything they say?
