Dealing with Dealer Service (thats if they dont drop my car...)
#1
I have not been to the dealer for service since
before I moded up my car. It is nothing that
drastic, just a JWT Pop Charger and a Courtesy FSTB.
I am noticing a grinding coming from the
front brakes when stopping. I want to go to
the dealer to have them check the problem.
Should I expect them to give me $hit about
the mods. If so, what can I say in my defense?
Other then just F-off.

what happens when they do deny your?
will they fix it for you if you pay $$$? or will they just completely refuse service?

if a dealer refuses service becuase of mods, make sure to get it in writing that says that warranty service was denied because of it. By law, they have to prove that the aftermarket modification directly caused the problem. Only then can they deny service to you. By getting it in writing, you can pursue the case further if you wish.... or just take it to another dealer.

so if they say, "its your modifications, we wont service your car"
does that mean that, they wont fix your car under warranty, and that I will have to pay to get it fixed?
i mean, they cant completely refuse to fix my car right?

Trust me, there's a better way to handle it. And it almost always begins by asking questions rather than making demands.

No. They'll be happy to take your money. But they may insist that you either bring the vehicle back to stock or pay to have it brought back to stock first.

What might cause it to grind when under
a bit more then normal stress?
It only happens when slowing down quicker than
normal after driving at about 30-40 mph.
Thats the best way to try and explain it....

That happened to my wife's GXE. She took it to the dealer and they told her she had a rock stuck in her brake pad. They fixed it for no charge.
