Ahh so you get the one side rotate too . I've had to email their GM and be in constant contact with their service manager cause anytime I do anything through them it's like a 6 hour root canal.

Ha ha.. I guess so! I never checked to be honest. I have 18.5K miles on the GY Duratracs and they are wearing fine and evenly. I always check the oil level after a service and so far it's been spot on. Hopefully the truck continues to run good and I won't run into any service issues. So far I've been able to get in and out pretty quickly for the oil changes, tire rotations and multi point inspections.

What surprised me was that you have to get your state inspections done there too in order to keep the 'diamond advantage' active. I was there yesterday. All it cost me was $35 for the sticker. So the service was on them. That had to be around $80 or $90 for and oil change ($69), tire rotation(probably $20) had I had to pay for it.

See i have noticed some odd wear on my front two tires so i marked them thinking they were not rotating then found out how they rotate.   Also i believe my oil change prior they didn't fill it up correctly i drove a good  2k miles 1 quart low (cause i don't check when i leave) til i checked oil after running a few tanks of good gas through to find the oil was down. now i have to do a consumption test go figure. but my theory is the guy doing the oil change just didn't put the last quart in after the filter was added TBH. 

 

My normal visits take time, i have had some warranty work done on my camera and that took 4 different visits with 4 different days taking my truck for the entire day, each day i was told "we are low staff couldn't get your appointment done" until i wrote to the GM then somehow they got it done in 1 day. but it took me about 4 months to get the camera resolved... took them 4 months to order the part like no joke 4 months to place the part order so it arrives when i am there for an appointment too.  Yes they give u a loaner but i have a 2 year old i need his car seat etc etc and normally the loaner is a extended cab so therefor a full sized car seat doesn't fit properly in the back. plus to get it done i need to be in 2 places at once A: picking my son up from daycare B: dropping off my truck for the appointment -- doesn't work out well/easily 

 

 

Glad however your getting decent results maybe there is some hope for the dealership.

So the other day i suspected my dealership wasn't rotating my tires on my 2017 Silverado. So i marked tires 2 changes ago this last change i noticed my front left went to my back left and my back left to my front left...no crossing sides?! 

 

Now in the book it specifies sides should cross, Web researching specifies this and many "models" to follow. So i talked to the service manager at the dealership and he said they don't cross rotate for "road noise" ??????? I called Chevy they specified they believe cross rotation is the proper way and confirmed by calling 2 other dealerships in the area to confirm 2/3 dealerships in my area cross rotate tires. 

 

Why would you not cross rotate the tires?  now that it's 22k miles on my truck would starting to cross rotate them now mess with it more? i'm assuming so i'm guessing the tires are basically gone until i get new ones. 

 

Anyone else encountered similar issues and/or have feedback on the rotation situation.
