Camaro owner records mechanics abusing car, scheming to get damages paid for

[vvvvvvv]

This is why noone touches my cars.

This.

I saved up to $10K by replacing a "cracked piston" myself rather than use the dealership that diagnosed it. When I tore the motor down myself, lo and behold there wasn't a cracked piston. That makes me 9/10 on getting burned by mechanics. (The one that didn't burn me is a member here that helped me with my wife's Mini, and even showed me a few tricks to make life easier working on that car.)

or how maybe he burnt the clutch up cause he bought a car he doesnt know how to drive and is trying to get the dealership to pay for a new one. Maybe they drove it a little hard, I ll agree to that, but they weren't beating the **** out of it either. Not enough to smoke a clutch

All the way around the dealer and Chevy F'ked up.

This is a problem with the dealer, not the car or Chevrolet, this guy can call whoever he wants for a rant session but I dont think he should be mad at Chevrolet. The car is 3 years old with 38,000 miles on it and he is wanting a brand new car because of a 20 min test drive? Also he said they took a 20 minute test drive but released less than 1 minute of audio from the actual test drive, this seems strange.

I do agree with him that they abused his car and that should account for something. Maybe the dealer should replace the clutch and maybe the rear tires.

It's an awesome approach unless you're a crook. If you're legit then you don't have anything to worry about. No harm, no foul.

Well, I agree with ya but Johnny law may or may not.

That car is a ***** to get in and out of for an old fart.
My wife loves them, not me.
I've rented three of them on west coast juants.
Fall in & fall out.......

I think making them buy the car back is probably a bit over the top. Replacing the clutch with a Exedy twin disk and adding a supercharger kit of my choice would probably make me happy. Potentially 4 new tires as well, you know, since the rears are so much more worn than the fronts now.

Karma is a *****

I used to think that..... But now I am not so sure. It seems like the douche-bags get caught less and less, and the good guys have to keep paying for it all.

You'd trust them after seeing that? Not me brother.........

What actions do you take to push back against that?
