Getting the Oil Changed

[JV1]

I don't let any dealers do anything to my vehicles unless it is absolutely necessary. Too many experiences with shoddy work, improper diagnostics, you name it. Up to this point I have had no experience with Hummer dealers doing maintenance work but I expect the same result as other dealers.

Here is one experience with a dealer that I will never forget.... My father took a 1973 Oldsmobile in for a tune-up. After that the car radio never worked right. Had a serious whirring noise on all the stations. Didn't make any connection but after several months the car wouldn't start one day. I did some investigation and found that the ignition timing was way off. Apparently the distibutor loosened up. During my investigation I also found that there was a two piece metal cover over the points inside the distributor. (Remember those days?) One half was missing hence the whirring noise through the radio. My father took the car back to complain and here was the dealers response:

How come your son was touching the car?

This was only one of many bad experiences but the moral to the story is NOBODY touches my vehicles unless I have to use the warranty or I am not capable of doing the task myself.....
