All I can say is that if you are going to a dealer of any make these days you better take a tube of K Y with you!

THIS. Even for service. Our GM dealer gets $135 an hr for labor, double the price on parts, and $100 on shop fees on every visit. And apparently, they like to sit and think about working on it for half a day, with the clock running, before they do anything. In the old days, there was a multi-page invoice with activity breakdown by hours and parts with part numbers. Now there's one page with a big bottom line number and sign here to accept vehicle as is to release them from any future obligations, even if you drive it a block and it grenades because they forgot to put oil in it. New and improved GM process, they say.
