I would definitely drive over to Kerbeck for anything I needed if it is only 40 minutes away. Their knowledge and experience is well worth the 40 minute drive...

If you've got Kerbeck 40 minutes away, that's a no brainer, go there.

Unfortunately I did not previously have a good experience at kerbeck ( sales not service ) so it has tainted me on them. If at a last resort I will try them again.

What service facility in this day and age doesn't have a 2 post lift?

Sounds to me like it's a nice way of saying we don't want to freebee service your car since you didn't buy it from us.

They get paid from gm...why would they now want to do it??
Also they service manager was real nice and wanted to do it, it was the tech who pointed out that it would not fit on the oil change lift. He showed me the lift and I would have to agree it was much too steep for the front end. Now it might work with the splitter off but it would be tight and it may catch the center of the car.

And good luck getting the work done on the car.

Agreed. Thats how my dealer does it.

I had a bad experience with Kerbeck as well as a few other forum members I've spoken with. I would stay far away.
