Did you buy from Export One? They are famous for things like this.
Actually it was Import One in Baton Rouge. When I went to collect my reimbursement check for the Tire Pressure Monitor repair, they put someone elses name on the check. I noticed and made them change it. Then they spelled my name wrong. So I made them cut me ANOTHER check. Also while it was in the shop I called and asked about a loaner. He says, "Sure, stop by after work and pick one up." I get there and he's like, "I talked to my manager and we can't do loaners any more because of Insurance reasons." I was like " :bs You let me drive off the lot by myself with the vette when I was looking at it. Why can't I drive off in a different car?" I will NEVER buy there again.

So it sounds like you have had some experience with Import One too, lol. Did you buy your vette there?

They sent the car to Tire Town 3 times to have the sensor fixed. I'm sitting in the waiting area and the mechanic walks in to his boss. He has the TPM in his hand. His boss says, "You just stick a magnet to it like this. <sticks magnet to it. Hands back to mechanic> Ok, it should be reset now. Go put it back on and that should work." Then he was putting the directional tires on facing the wrong way. :eek: At that point I chewed out the mechanic and called import one back from Tire Town and said, "This has got to be fixed TODAY at a GM shop where they are familiar with this." :boxing

Also you don't happen to drive the Sherwood and Stumberg areas during the week do you? I see a car EXACTLY like yours every now and then in that area. :seeya
