Well, I had sent a letter to the owner of the dealership a couple of weeks ago. Not to b**** about them, but how they go out of their way to take care of their customers while GM ignores everyone. (Read the business section of the paper today?) And I mentioned the paint problem that GM should be correcting with running boards, not just paint. Well.....today I received a call from the Service Manager at the dealership. What would make me happy? I said that having GM stepping up to the plate on this issue would satisfy me. Well, we know that they aren't in a hurry to do that. So in lieu of that the dealer has offerd me a spectacular deal (I am keeping the price secret) on running boards! Well within my range, including installation and a cup of coffee. Try and beat that. I must say that when I purchased my first Chevy from them in 2001, I went in knowing I could get a better deal pricewise down the street. I also knew that at this dealership, not only was a buying a new vehicle, but everyone was great and the service is the best in the area! And I still feel that way today. I only wish that GM would treat customers the same way.

 

Running boards are in. Getting them installed on Monday! Pics afterwards

 

good new Firerwatcher....

 

Got'em! Yep....genuine GM running boards, installed today! While GM won't have anything to do with running board installs for the paint problem, my dealer, Herb Connolly Chevrolet in Framingham, MA has once again stepped up to the plate. They gave me an awsome deal! I can't say enough about the great service they have provided over the years.

Lookin good Firewatcher. I know some people don't like the look...but I sure do. I had mine added after purchase and I think it gives the HHR a whole new attitude.

 

congrats bud! It just adds more style to your HHR!

 

I'll have my running boards on this weekend to. They are also painting the rear fenders and the hood for free. GM of Canada is picking up the hole bill and also getting a car for me till mine is all done. I told them that I want a HHR. Thats what they are giving me. I'm very happy with what they are doing for me.

 

Always remember.....It's not the company, it's the person who represents it. I think GM should take a few lessons on cutomer care/service from their dealers.

 

You got that right! ! ! !

 

Does anyone have a link to the TSB on this problem. My HHR is not even a week old and I have chips.
