I'd talk to the service writer and see if this was the case. Good luck.

I hate the Stealership's. I paid $932.56 for a warranty clutch replacement, because I had long tubes

Had to have me diff changed out under warranty... tech told me $100 to install the clutch... then when he saw the LT headers it jumped to $250... no biggie at all. He does all my warranty work for me and only works on Corvettes.
