Default Not Suburban related, but watch out for this dealer in SC

Hey everyone, I'm a new Yukon XL owner and have been reading these forums daily for the last month or so. I don't post much (or at all) but I came across this video of a dealer in the upstate of South Carolina and thought that it needed to be shared. It's not Suburban related but its definitely Chevrolet related.


The basic gist of it is that some service techs ruined this guys cutch and then tried to both blame it on him AND defraud GM at the same time. Check it out and spread the word please - I don't know the person in this video but I know if I was in his shoes that I would appreciate any help in getting the word out.

Dang... sounds like they were wrapping it out pretty good... seems like he could take it to a local news outlet and let them give it a listen to...

It does sound like they were giving it "a good testing". After I posted the link here I went back and read the YouTube comments and it does sound like a local media outlet is picking it up, so that's probably good news for him.

That is terrible. I can say with 100% assurance there is no one at my work that would do this to any car.

I'm sure that's not a typical situation at all. I've really only ever dealt with very professional people at most dealerships (for the most part anyways).

The video looks like it was taken down last night...makes you wonder if it was legit to begin with or not.

Or for legal reasons... slander or evidence

True, that could be it too. I will try to keep watching it to see if the story goes anywhere. I don't live in that area of the state, but I will try to keep my eyes on the news. If it is true then he deserves some sort of compensation.

Since it was audio only, I wondered about its credibility.

It apparently made it to yahoo news this morning, as a coworker was telling me about it at coffee...
