I Hate Gm!!!
Yesterday I had an appointment at 8 in the morning I got there at 745, there was 2 people before me. I was there to get my stade 2 kit in. They sat on my car all damn day... They didn't even touch it. I can't even explain how mad I was when they said they couldn't do it that day cause it was to much work...OMFG are they so dum they cant put on 4 injectors and a pulley!? God I could do that in under an hour! I have another appointment at 730 tomorrow but needless to say I was so mad that I almost wanted my old car back.

sounds like a bad DEALER, its not GM's fault at all! God, I hate when people blame GM for stuff that isn't GM's fault at all. I'd say go to another dealership.

Yeah, they don't like doing stage 2 installs cause they get paid less than the time it actually takes - my stage 2 install started friday..........it's still there

3 hours, wow... maybe if you only had a screwdriver. it shouldnt even take that. my budy and i did it in an hour reflash and all. the only thing that takes time is removeing the supercharger.

Exactly. I took mine in for warrenty work on the lights, all they had to do was do a reflash on the computer (which still didn't fix it, but thats all they did) and they had it from 7:45am to 4pm. If you don't like how the dealership does stuff, find a different dealer.

Definitely can't blame GM for this. But if they make an appointment with you, I think that should take precedence over ANY walk in, regardless of it's severity. Unfortunately that's not how they see it. I think far too often the dealership pushes the modifications to the side, luckily I live in Alaska and here, the dealerships see so few mods, that they are always excited to see what that will do for the vehicle. In fact, I get discounts on regular shop rates for those types of mods as well... because they want me to take it there instead of some other shop...

I'm not even a mechanic and i did it in less than 2 hours. I don't think they are taking a whole day to do it unless they just wanna go slow and not work alot that day..

that depends on the dealership. a lot of them will actually still warranty it no matter who installed it.

Reguardless of all of this; if anyone in this thread is capable of and has performed anything under the hood of a car with any sort of competency then you know that it is completely wrong that it should take a PROFESSIONAL mechanic at the dealership any more than 4 hours to do this job. I give them 1 hour added on to 3 in case they don't have a certain tool etc., but even then.....
