Awhile ago I remember a thread that someone started that stated Gm offer a "butler" service where they would wash and clean your truck and detail it like twice a year or something. Am I making this up or is there such a deal when buying a new truck? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Could be something thats dealer specific...I never heard of it...My dealership washes it for me every time I bring it in for service...thats about all....even the used vehicles are detailed by another company on contract.

 

You could be right though...I'm sure you would pay like twice what you would from a normal detail service though...LOL

I'm trying to find it now, no luck yet. From what I remember it was a throw in to close the deal.

Yeah...than it was probably a dealer specific thing....

 

My dealership just finished with an Olympic package...as they called it.

 

You Got 2 tickets to the 2010 Olympics...free oil changes (conventional only) for the duration of the full warranty(5 year 60K km)...and a 12 month free subscription to XM.

 

It too was a deal closing throw in.

My dealership here doesnt do anything...I took my truck in when I got the leaking Rack and Pinion replaced and they gave it back to me even dirtier than I had given it to them. When I left I was thinking to myself that every other brand dealer ive dealt with have always washed my cars. Boo to Pearson GMC in Sunnyvale Ca!!

I made a deal with a Pontiac-Buick-GMC dealer a few years ago... the salesman told me that whenever the vehicle needed to be serviced, the dealership would provide a complimentary car for customer use... kind of a nice sales perk!

 

... signed the papers, got the insurance, had the new plates on the new vehicle and in my little last minute chitchat with the sales manager, I mentioned that I really liked that complimentary car deal when having the vehicle in for service... he told me that there was no such arrangement... and no car would be available

 

... so I reached over to his desk, grabbed my certified cheque and ripped it up... then told him to get my plates off that car because I was leaving

 

... sometimes you just have to deal that way

 

... I went out the next day to a different dealership and made my purchase and bonus... even saved a few hundred bucks

vmax2007 has it. seems like a good service.

 

What service is that?

 

 

The Auto Butler service. Complete exterior and interior detail. I think he said he paid $100 for 6(?) treatments.

You don't want dealership detailers touching your truck. Trust a professional detailer on this, the 16-year-old buffer jockeys will inevitably screw something up, eventually.

They told me the only way I would be able to get a loaner car while they worked on mine was if they kept it overnight....wait it gets better....So when they needed to keep it overnight they told me to come pick it up and drop it back off in the morning just so they woudnt have to give me one....isnt that something? When I had my VW they would always give me a loaner car no matter what, And I think of a VW to be a lower vehicle than GMC, but I was wrong! Those loaner Turbo GTI's are a blast!!

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
