you'd be surprised who they employ! now the guys that assemble these engines in Michigan, that's a totally different story, but joe schmo who does 100 oil changes a day at the dealership... no thanks, he's not touching my car. murphy's law follows me around with my cars! i'd rather just avoid the chance all together if its not a reliability issue.
and its been said, its just a sound issue, and i don't have a problem with it, my exhaust is loud and ever since i installed my headers i can't hear the tick unless my ear is on the valve cover.
i'm not going to pay anyone to just change my lifters, i'll change them out with LS7 lifters if the time comes i want a beefy cam and delete DOD all together, not just disable it with my tune.

As far as dealer work is concerned, I'm pretty sure GM would do their best to employ qualified mechanics to do this kind of work. And this way, if something does go wrong, GM is accountable and my warranty is still good.
Let me know if you get any affordable quotes on this silly procedure from an outside (and qualified) mechanic....
