First service tomorrow

[Loco-diablo]

At 6400 miles, I'm bringing my LT midnight DC in for its first service tomorrow morning which I understand will just be an oil change, tire rotation and a multi point inspection.

 

I've been very happy thus far with the 5.3 - 6 speed and I really have no complaints to report to the dealer. I am going to mention TSB #17-na-269 regarding the brightness of the backup camera at night. I believe there is one recall about child seat instructions missing from the owner's manual which means nothing to me.

 

I also requested quotes for the OEM mud guards and the driver side A pillar grab handle. If the quotes are reasonable, I may have those items installed while I'm there.

 

This is my first time dealing with this particular dealer for service. I did get a tour of the service department when I purchased the truck and was introduced to one of the service managers. I'm anticipating a smooth visit as I have no issues. Hopefully they can change the oil correctly, LOL! I will be checking it before I drive off.

If you plan on having this dealer do your maintenance it will be a good test run, especially if you have the goodies put on.

I've been very happy thus far

Hopefully you'll be just as happy afterwards.

I have my first service appt tomorrow as well. I called to ask how much it would be to add full synthetic to the standard free oil change and they told me that GM now includes full synthetic...can anyone confirm this?

 

Thanks

Yep. Synthetic is now standard. If you go to a GM service department for your truck and they don't use synthetic I would be worried. If you change it yourself you can do whatever makes you happy, but the service departments should be using synthetic.

Do a complete walk around and check inside. Sometimes I will find random smug spots or something after I get it back from them. I make them clean it off before I leave. Its pretty typical for them to leave off valve stem caps as well, which I make them replace before leaving. It is small stuff, but I expect quality if I am paying for it just as other consumers expect you to perform a good service when doing your full-time job.

Yes,, I can confirm that dealers "now" use full synthetic on oil changes and for the 5.3 and PF63e filters..

Good friend is service advisor of dealership that I purchased my 16 RCSB, 5.3, 6speed...

 

In Iowa,, its been 3+ months now...

First service went smoothly. Everything is good. I was actually just outside the bay when they put the mudflaps on. I opted out of the a pillar grab handle as they wanted $80 labor to install it (for a 5-10 min job?), I'll pick one up and do it myself at some point.

Kool all 1st service people. Loco-diablo I'm also having my grab handle install tmwr by dealer $72 + tax installed so that'll be over $80 lol. Crazy thing is one arrived at my house today since the same dealer ordered the wrong part the first time so I ordered it myself, then dealer call me yesterday saying correct part is in grrrrrrr. Guess what showed up at my steps today? Gray driver side assist handle anyone? lol

30 bucks and 10 minutes to do your A pillar handle yourself.

Well about that. Seem like part # 23285090 holes do NOT line up with my 17 Sierra. Went to install today and dealer said the mount holes do not line up. So either those that install them are leaving a bolt out (using one), or my dealership is on something.

 

I will find out in a few as I'm going to try to install the one that arrived yesterday myself. I was just being lazy and din't mind the $23 to install considering what it cost me to purchase and ship to my house.

Mine fit like a glove, and all bolt holes lined up perfectly. I have a 2017 Sierra SLT Double Cab.
