Default Did Hell Freeze over.............
I had my '01 Coupe into the dealership for the antilock brake/traction control module. It has 33k miles and is out of warranty by about 9 months. The dealership spoke with corporate and got me everything purchased and installed and me paying only 100 dollars.

Whatya think about that?

I think great for you. There are some dealerships that really go to bat. I have never had this done with my vette, but my wife had a cadillac and the dealership constantly helped out when something was out of warranty. Things like this are good for GM

The Service Manager for Superior Chevrolet is a gentlemen named James Ayers. He's a very conscientious lad.

I'm sure you being a great guy probably had something to do with it. I have found that places like to take care of people who rub them the right way. Kill em w/ kindness. They feel more compelled to help in my experiences (of course anyone can be a richard to anyone at anytime).
