YouseeSS, sorry this happened to you. Betrayl of trust is something that can almost never be recovered, as I see it.

I will use only a very highly reputable place that I trust. If they break my trust I will deal with them very firmly. If they don't make it right, I will make what happened very public. It is all about respect, customer service & earning trust. OP did you contact the Chevy customer service Dept like Jeff Morris suggested? Might be a good idea.
RubyCamaro, great suggestions!

Awesome way to help avoid future situations, Cbrenthus.

So true, O.K.! We work hard to buy and pay the care & feeding of our rides, and to have this happen???

I was always very careful when moving customers' cars when I worked in parts at a Pontiac dealership in 1981. So I know there are some good people out there, though bad ones too, I'm sure.
