Can someone please tell me how long for just the reflash procedure. I have appointment on Tuesday and just wanted to know what to expect. The service writer had no idea because they "Have not done it before". That makes me nervous plus the car being out of my sight. There should be no test drive involved right?

My service advisor told me the reflash was gonna add 2 hours to my visit for an oil change and rear diff check.

And yes, there is no test drive involved.

Sorry, Gr8. I should have been more clear. I had it done that day I had my oil changed and eDiff checked. It took a little less time than my service advisor estimated.

Since the flash, my Instrument Panel display and HVAC have worked perfectly.

I've had mine done twice. Takes 30-45 minutes for my dealer.

My dealer's service manager showed me an email from GM allowing them .7/ hr of labor to be reflashed.

And then there have been a few of us that had a problem and the download locked up. Mine took an overnight visit.
