I have a C8 and just changing the transmission and oil fluid is a pricey affair because of the extremely large metal plate going under the car, with a zillion small bolts. Some owners have installed a small door, but I wonder if that would weaken the plate? Changing the battery was no fun task either. Why would Chevrolet install an OEM BATTERY with no handles … so you would take the car to their dealership! Remember profit is the most important number in corporate America.
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
I knew when I bought my C8 this was going to be the situation. What's worse, the car maintenance intervals seem to come up pretty darn quick.
