Today was kinda fugged up. I took my hoe to a reputable car audio shop to get a wiring estimate & when they finish my cluster gauge is malfunctioning on the left side & top. Pissed me off 1st thing n da morning...next Iv been hearing this metal on metal sheering noise on my hoe for a couple of yrs now. It comes & goes & obviously its hard for most to hear cuzz I took it to 2 other dealerships & or shops & they look @ me like Im crazy then tell me about the damn intermediate shaft. (which I have always been aware of), but daz not the sound Im talking bout!

I took it to a dealership I had never been to & that has been up less than a yr. The young guy @ 1st cant hear the sound either, then he puts it on a lift & we r back there trying to figure stuff out (which many shops dont want u n da back for understandable reasons). we come to the conclusion that the hub bearings r probably the culprit, & should b replaced, as well as replacement of my front pass side rod (there was noticeble play)...
They didnt even charge me for this, & the young guy even fixed the itermediate steering shaft thingy for free! & on top of all that, when they gave me the prices on the parts & labor, they told me that when I get the service done there, they would give me a tahoe to drive until my hoe would b ready!!! I aint ever recieved that much from any dealership ever. What a life!

i don't understand why more shops don't go by this philosophy. If you do things like this then people talk, people talk and people listen, people listen and go to the shop that treats them good.
