I bought a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 pickup right off the dealership show room floor. I picked it up and was driving it home at night and then i looked at the odometer and it had close to 400 miles on it !! I didn't really pay attention when I first looked the car over. Then I looked at...

The ridiculous $220 per hour labor rate is just pure greed. (Almost all the dealerships around here charge the same.) I will avoid the dealership for maintenance as much as possible.

I have the very, very rare Summit White. :SLAP

Get your Spring Mountain appointment going !

The Cadillac/ Chevrolet dealership that I mainly use......just completed a new building just for the Cadillac side of the house. That is probably why they raised the hourly rate from last years $190 to the current $220 per hour. The customers need to pay for the new building.

I'm lucky that I have about a dozen Cadillac dealerships all around me. The main one I use, ticked me off when they said that an extended warranty would cost $3800. I got it from macMulkin in NH for $1800. Also, their hourly labor rate is $220 . Ridiculous !

If the shop is filthy and dusty......run away.

SUCKER !!

Today, our Tri-State Cadillac V-Club members went for a beautiful fall drive up the Hudson River around West Point area. Put over 225 miles on mine in one day....a new record!

Looks like Stevie Wonder did the final paint inspection.

I use Chemical Guys Snow Foam (Honeydew) that I buy $11 bottles at Lowes. You just need a shot glass amount mixed with water and you can get 2 cars covered on one fill up.

I have a whole detail center set up on the side of my home. I have an electric awning to keep sunshine away, portable vacuum, 2000psi Greenworks electric pressure washer, hot/cold water connection w/ foam cannon and a 75' hose attached to a 30 gallon compressor in my basement. The hot water...

The foam cannons work great as long as you use the proper soap. I can cover my entire car after a minute and the soap stays on the panels long enough for me to go around the complete car with my long handle boars hair brush. Cuts my wash routine by 15-30 minutes per car . That is alot of time...

I was watching this past weeks IMSA Race on TV. They mentioned a lawyer who had bought a Blackwing and took advantage of Spring Mountain. The instructors told him that he was an exceptional driver and was a natural talent for racing. He took this to heart and is now an IMSA race driver. It...
