What Owners Say

Transmission rebuild or replacement

"Transmission went completely out with 450 miles on the vehicle. The dealer rebuilt it"

Cheryl M., TX (2016 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 5.3-L V8)

"The car was 3 years old, just off lease and certified by a GM dealer when I purchased it. The day I left the car lot ended with car inoperable before I made it home! The dealer gave me a free tow and repair. I like the car but don't consider it reliable for the long term (I usually try to keep cars 8 years or more. A transmission that breaks down and leaves the car inoperable at 3 years of age will not ever feel reliable to me. Also certified were the tires (that the tread was adequate) but I felt the tires had inadequate tread replaced them. I could see the value of the tires prior to purchase so that problem is on me. I don't feel certified used cars are a good value although certification saved me an expensive repair. Rather I feel the car should have been repaired prior to the sale."
