Replying to: gonogo (Jun 21, 2009 7:15 am) Maybe GM buys cheap, but even so the filters are to GMs specs. Here's a scary statement from GM: "Engine damage that is the result of an incorrect or improperly installed engine oil filter is not a warrantable claim"

I have a 2005 Malibu about 48k miles. Chevy dealer told me that I need transmission flush, induction service, and mass air flow cleaning. Here is the price list, Transmission flush: $206 Induction service: $154 MAFC:$88. Are those service necessary, are those prices reasonable??? Thank you very much for your advice. |

I just changed rear brake pads of my 2005 Malibu. As of today I have changed rear pads twice. One at 22k, and toady at 48k. I was very upset. I bought it in August 2005. In November 2007, I changed rear pads because one of a pair completely worn out while others looked like new. Chevy dealer didn’t explain what was wrong. I strongly suspected that something was wrong. Today, they told me that it needs change again because they are almost worn out. For safety reason I changed them. But they still did not give me a satisfying explanation. They just told me it is normal. Thank you very much for your advice on this matter. |
