I came in to the service department for a routine oil change. I dropped it off and went to visit…read moresome friends. I received a call from the service department stating they recommended my air filer and my windshield wipers be changed. I informed them no, that I could do this myself. They then informed me that the technician would "button everything back up", and my vehicle would be ready. I then went and picked up my vehicle. I asked the young lady there how could my air filter and wipers be bad because this was a new truck, less than 10,000 miles. She informed me I had dragon fly's and bee's in my air filter, and the filter was starting to crack. My windshield wipers were beginning to streak. I just laughed because I park my truck in the garage, where it stays, and as stated, it has less than 10,000 miles on it. I took my keys and left.
On my way home, I stopped and bought an air filter at a local parts store, even though my air filter's life, according to my instrument panel, was at 75% still. I then went home. Once home, I watched a couple video's regarding the changing of the air filter and then I went outside to perform the maintenance. There were six screws that had to be undone, one clip, one clamp and to remove one wire holder from the base. My point is that this took some time, not a couple clips and done. Once I had everything removed, I lifted the cover and removed the old air filter.
This is why I am upset. They did nothing to clean the old filter, didn't removed any of the dragon fly's, nor any of the bee's. They didn't blow out the old filter, just left it with all the dead bugs on top of it, on the bottom of it, in the filter box itself. I was so upset that this dealership didn't have the professionalism or decency to clean it out and blow the old filter off. Because I didn't buy their air filter, they just put the old one back in as it was and tightened everything up.
So once again, Ray's Chevrolet Service Department has shown they don't care about the customer, no customer service skills at all. Their technicians don't appear to have a clue. Is that what the world has come to? If it's not in the book, don't do it? When I bought this truck for $63,000, I also bought the lifetime oil change package as long as I use Ray's Service Department for the work. I'm almost to the point right now that it would behoove me to find another dealership, once that actually cares not only for the customer, but the actual vehicle itself. It shouldn't be all about money, or is it?
