| - The last time I had my vehicle serviced with Yates, the service advisor told me the technician said both my tie rods were broken and needed to be replaced so last week I brought my vehicle in to get the recommend repairs done. About an hour after dropping off my Yukon, I received a call from the advisor saying the tie rods were actually fine, but there was some play in the CV boots. He said it's something that would have to be done, but for now it could wait until the next service. The advisor the proceeded to tell me that GMC recommends doing a transmission flush every 30k miles after 100k and I was right at that point so since they had the car there anyways I told him to go ahead and do that.
Please keep in mind, I understand I have a 2007 GMC Yukon and yes it has 130k miles, but I've babied this car its entire life. I bought it from Yates and I've had EVERY single service done there. This car was running like new when I brought it in with no problems what so ever. With that being said. After picking up my Yukon, the next day I noticed that it didn't quite seem to be shifting like it should be. I put it off for a couple of days to make sure it wasn't in my mind because it was intermittent. One the 3rd day I called and made an appointment to bring it back to see what the deal was.
After bringing it back, I received a call from Jay who is the service advisor. He told me that there was definitely something wrong and that they were still doing testing on the vehicle. I told him I had to be to work by 5 and he told me that they would put me in a loaner till my car was done. After calling ahead of time to stress the urgency of my having to leave once I got there I arrived at 4:30 to where I was greeted by Ed Trueblood who is the Service Director. He proceeded to tell me that a flush wouldn't cause any damage to the transmission like that and they weren't responsible. After going back and forth with him on this I told him that I'm not sure how they do the flush, but he couldn't tell me 100% that the damage wasn't caused by Yates regardless of what service was done. I explained to him the vehicle was fine before I brought it in and now I'm having issues. It's not to difficult to come to the conclusion that I did. Whether it was the flush or some act performed by the technician to damage the vehicle while in the care of the dealership, something was done incorrectly. On top of that, Mr. Trueblood told me that they don't recommend doing anything to the transmission after 100K miles because things like this could happen and I looked at him and tried explaining that the only reason I had it done in the first place was because his service advisor said it was "Highly Recommended"!
He again told me that there was nothing they were going to be able to do for me and at that point I told him this wasn't over and I had to get to my meeting. So they pulled my car around, I got it, and I'm not sure where they went, but I was about to run out of gas. So not only did I go through all of this with no positive outcome, I was late and I was out of gas leaving the dealership.
