Anyone Have Stage Kit Installed near Atlanta/North GA
I've talked to every dealership I know in the North Atlanta area and have yet to find one experienced with the Stage Kit. Found a few willing but I would rather know the dealership has experience (and so I don't get ripped on labor). With the Atlanta tuner market I KNOW there's upgraded HHR's around by now.

Well, I've now talked to approximately 40 dealerships and only 1 says to have installed the kit. They're telling me 2 hours labor so I guess that's about as good as I'm going to get.
Out of the entire lot of service departments, about 20 didn't even want to try and said call elsewhere

2 hours is good. Make a agreement that they will hold to that.
The kit is not hard to install and any skilled tech should be able to install it.
The first time is just a learning experience and just takes time to learn on the first one. So the agreed amount is a much for any first time installer.

Hendrick Chevy in Duluth says 2 hours.
The only other dealership I found that had experience (all on Solstice's though, not HHR's) was Bill Holt Chevy/Pontiac in Ellijay but they wanted 3 hours labor.

Just out of curiosity, did you talk to anyone at Maxie Price Chevrolet in Loganville? I am curious because I am looking at an HHR SS on their lot and if I make an offer, I may incorporate the Stage I kit installation as a condition of sale.
Thanks.
