Hi folks,
This is about a 2001 S-10, LS rear wheel drive, with approximately 52,000.
According to the manual there are certain things that need to be done at 50,000 miles then 75,000, 100,000, etc.
The guy at the dealer (I purchased it used with a so-called "GM Extended Warranty" which is a lie -- covers nothing but routine oil changes - tire rotation) service dept said that "oh, that's just for $ for the dealership". Huh? After paying nearly $600 (tow charge, parts and labor) for an alternator and learning that "GM Certified" with EXTENDEDED WARRANTY is a fraud, I'm wondering what, if anything, else is reliable? The service guy said it would cost about $500.
According to the manual there should be engine flush, etc. at 50,000. What is your opinion about this and what the service dept guy said (yes, it was a Chevrolet Dealer). TIA.
Helen
