I too would like to know what dealer this was at. I also live in Colorado, I don't want to do any type of business with a dealer who treats you like that.

Do you have a copy of the incident report for when it happened? Can always file on your own and they will get subro through dealership.

Call your ins company. Go through yours and they will go after his. Also file a police accident report for mva

Sometimes police won't file reports when damage is on private property. I ran into this in AZ. He ended up writing something up but it wasn't a full report.

if anything is written it's probably a miscellaneous incident report or security incident report, which is just a bunch of statements of the officer and or witnesses to collaborate what the victim is reporting.

That is correct. Unless there were injuries, most law enforcement agencies don't do reports for accidents on private property

Your insurance company will go after his for sure. They should also recover any out of pocket expenses you incur such as a rental. Your truck now has damage. Who's to say his body work won't start deteriorating in a couple of years?

 

I agree in that this was no accident. It was negligent careless behavior on the dealers part. He should be bending over backwards with apologies and incentives to make it right, not giving you HIS rules on how it will be handled. No to mention the "let's go outside" nonsense. If I had that on tape, I would seriously consider legal action.

 

The guy has balls that's for sure.

I would never step foot in there again. I'd also go out of my way to endlessly bash him on the internet.

Given how hard it is to find mechanics around here that mechanic probably was not disciplined for what happened.

It's ferguson GMC in Colorado springs

Update I turned in on my insurance I called GM twice and told them I have the owner on recording wanting to take us out back and settle things. And we'll GM said unless it's a warranty issue they can't do anything.

Confirmed frame damage and rear axle bent. That was determined after drive shaft was replaced

The biggest problem with letting the owner of the dealership pay out of pocket is his shop would have never caught frame damage or bent axle. The owner Dave said it wasn't possible that this was a simple fix and he wanted estimates from my shop of choice to be in the ballpark of his shop he chose. I would have been fighting tooth and nail getting him to pay anything. He already accused me of having the tow truck driver possibly dropping truck causing damage when I had to have it towed off lot to get this process started. He's truly an unprofessional owner and there is nothing I can do but warn others.

Call the local news stations.

Place an ad in a local paper.

Call Tom Martinez.

Or call occupation safety and health and report that this is a safety issue.

 

Tell them your story

 

They could shut them down until proven otherwise

 

Not sure Colorado has OSAH for business but worth a try

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
