• Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

Won't Start - Comin Home

That's really weird Rick. I would talk to Mike Thorp, the service manager, about your situation. I've found him to be a stand up guy and reasonable. Heck, use my name if it'll help. I've known Mike off and on for 12-15 years.
 
WTF...

They kept it for like a week, used up 1/2 of a tank of gas, couldn't fix the problem and gave you a bill:eek:.

Maybe you should bill them for your gas!!:yesnod:
How can they get away with doing that? It's NOT your fault that they were unable :bigear: to fix it. :willy_nilly:
Do they have a form or whatever stating that "If we can't fix your car we still get paid X amount of $ ?
How do you even know their Mechanic is competent?:shrug01::shrug01:

And now no Christmas presents!:nonod:

Do like what mte.smiles says, go talk to Mike.:thumbsup:

Good Luck!
 
Dude,This really SUCKS,I hate when Stealerships take people for a ride.I hope it all works out,you should take it some where else and have them fix it then try to make the stealership pay that bill.Man this sucks.:thumbsdown:
 
Well the cars home.
I was told if they can figure out what the problem is they would be able to fix it :shrug01:
When I got in the car I looked at the gas gauge, they really only used a little over 1/4 tank.
I was told the charges are for diagnostic's, which they never diagnosed anything.
When I pulled into the garage at home and turned the key off I noticed my alarm light was on without the alarm being activated. So I guess they were fooling around with something.
I hope it will get through the holidays, I can't afford anymore bills right now anda after the first of the year, the Vette& I will take a trip to Seffner :D

Rick, any problem resolution? :shrug01: Someone somewhere has got to be able to diagnose the cause, the effect is obvious?:nonod:

I didn't want to say anymore because it will probably jinx it. Since I brought the car home, I haven't had any issues :thumbsup: I called my service adviser about the alarm light and he said the bypassed the alarm, as they believe that was the cause of the no start :banghead: It's an aftermarket Viper alarm. I'm going to drive it a few more weeks and take it where my son-in-law works. They are a factory authorized Viper dealer.
So so far so good. Did I get my moneys worth from the dealer... well it's starting :shrug01:
 
OK I'll say no more. Glad (for the moment) the Vette is starting. Let me know in the long run if the Viper actually has been the cause.

Merry Christmas my friend.
