In my experience with this particular GM dealership, they will do whatever work you ask, with whatever parts you supply, and ask a fair price (actually cheaper then my old independent mechanic); plus I have the comfort of knowing that a GM mechanic is doing the work in a GM shop full of GM specific tools and GM electronic documentation and resources. That all increases my confidence in the quality of the work and usually decreases the labor hours need to complete the task. Every significant mechanical mod that I've done to my truck, whether with OEM or aftermarket parts, has been performed by my dealership. No questions asked...and not one problem, except for a bout of squeaky brake pads.

That said, 'your mileage may vary' with dealerships in your area...not all GM dealers are created equal. I just count myself lucky...

Thanks again for responding.

Yeah, I have to say you may have been lucky there. I'm not thoroughly impressed by my dealership. It's small - old - and I'm not sure how man, if any, Hummer 'crew' is there. I got some pretty large & surprising estimates on a couple of things I inquired about when I took my Hummer there; I haven't even touched any of them yet except for the brakes. I was going to do additional posts about the other issues one by one; right now the brake noise is my priority so I'm leaving the other issues be for now.

I'll give them a call and see what they say about doing a bevelling/lubricating to get rid of the noise. I do agree with you, I'd rather take it to GMC then other regular 'shops'. I just don't know about this particular dealer.

Thanks man - appreciate it.
