Yea they definitely want an incompetent boob doing oil changes. Making sure you don’t come back for repairs. Makes sense to me.

You say it like that doesn't happen. It does not matter in the least what profession it is in, there is incompetence. The lettering on my tailgate has now been done three times due to it. The same guy gouged part of the plastic trim trying to fix my seat cover. That same guy also couldn't put the foam back on correctly. We have all heard horror stories about mechanics who seemingly forgot to put the oil back. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it happens 10% of the time or any great number but it does indeed happen. It doesn't really suck til its you that has to be that one.

I’m not saying there’re all perfect. I’m my 66 years I’ve seen incompetence. Not everyone suited for the job. Have you noticed the last year in a half. It happens even in the most important occupation. I use to do all my work when I bought used vehicles they were usually beaters when I was younger first married. As I bought newer vehicles with warranty I used them for service. It’s easy to determine who’s at fault. Ifs there’s a problem. If they do all the work. I watch they know it, they probably have it on the work sheet. Because I’m a frequent customer. No problem doing your own work. Been there done that. I’ve moved on. At my age I do what I want. Oil changes for the most part, not on the list.

Yeah the last year and a half has just gotten more nuts than everything was. Im only almost 50 and have done my own since I purchased my first ride. Its cheaper for me to do it myself even though its getting harder to get under there. I do keep impeccable records though :D .

Yes, there are service folks at dealers that should be in another occupation.

There are also some that could be having a bad day.

 

Otoh, there are also lots of owners that should be told to 'back away from the toolbox'. 

 

One of my fears when acquiring used vehicles/machines is that it might have been in the hands of one of those owners.

Just because they are very good with the appearance care does not mean that are good with mechanical servicing.

Very true, and it bothers me to no end when I hear "car wash" guys try to speak as though they are mechanics, and vice versa.  

 

Just because you polish shoes, it doesn't make you a cobbler.

Specifically referring to the crank/no start situation. I have a ‘21 sierra 3.0 and it was doing the crank/ start situation as well as a few other things. I took it back to the dealership for repairs and they said they had heard of it and there was a TSB on the issue. Their first repair is a shim on the reluctor wheel, if that works your good, if not they have to tear the motor down and do some other repair. They did the reluctor wheel shim on mine and it has been flawless since then, almost a year.

Don’t believe they are even doing that anymore. It’s just an ECU reflash now which gets rid of the issue.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
