Made a appointment with local dealer in Parkland Wa. Arrived on time and did the paperwork then put on the paperwork that the dealer was responsible for resetting the clock and radio stations. The service guy looked puzzled and I said it was the proper way of doing business. I said if he did not trust the repair person he had better jot the stuff down himself. Took about a hour and radio and clock settings were not changed. I have not looked under the hood yet.

If I recall the fuse box consists of 2 parts (a top and bottom). The repair is done inside the bottom section of the box. So in order to see what they did, the top half would have to be disassembled. I wouldn't mess with it. The important thing is to have it done and have a record of such.

Stopped by to make an appointment at Grey Chevrolet in Port Orchard, WA last week for our 07 and they told me they could do it immediately. I said OK and to go ahead and change the oil. They did the recall and changed the oil in a little more than an hour. Clock was OK as were the windows. They also honored my request not to wash my car, but did clean the interior and wash the windows. Explained the recall and noted that I had two front tires that needed replacement soon.

You should avoid the dealer !!!!!!!!!!
People concerned the dealer will screw something else up are on the right track.
I got the letter on my 2008 C6 coupe, I went to the dealer for another issue but figured I would get this done at the same time, why not ?
Its now been one week since I left the car at the dealer. Its been one delay after another.
When I went to pick it up after 4 days, the horns werent working properly.
They "fix" one issue but cause another. Now the dealer has to order a new harness for the horns. It seems they changed connectors since the 2008 production run.
I wish I had not had it done but who wants to have to replace a $900 set of headlights out of warranty.
BE AFRAID, BE VERY VERY AFRAID.

So I FINALLY received the recall letter for the headlight issue, after having the issue since August or so.
Had the work done, but OF COURSE, the Chevy dealer just couldn't stop themselves from being complete retards. They first sent their shuttle driver to the wrong address to pick me up... then upon arriving at the dealer, they couldn't find my key. Making me like 30 minutes late to work.
Oh, GM... you better get your **** together.

New Zealand C6 Owners Please Note.
Our C6 is affected by this Low Beam bus recall. I PM'd the GM person on this Forum to find out how Chevrolet were handling the International aspect of the recall.
They suggested emailing the GM Holden Head Office.
Knowing the non-capability of the Holden dealers to perform the work on Corvettes, this leaves the question, what have other New Zealand C6 owners done to resolve this recall?
Ours has not had a low beam problem yet, but I always get these things done if our NZ new cars are recalled.

I cringe at the thought of some of the service guys at large dealerships who don't care working on my car. The largest Chevy dealer in my area showed me what kind of work they do on some of my other cars and it was sad. I know good qualified mechanics are hard to come by for a large dealer ship and your chances of getting the best man there to work on your car are not that good. So you end up with someone (in some cases) who doesn't do the work right.
