Massive Holden Ripoff

Lolllllllllllll

But.....the dealer hasn't done anything...except provide a quote on work that you have yet to substantiate otherwise.

There's smoke...but no fire or gun.

And unless they have the car disassembled by an expert, the condition documented and send the car in to this dealer there is absolutely no proof that the dealer is doing anything dodgy.

It's entirely conceivable that a mistake was made and when they went to perform the work they would have found it was a simple fix and charged the customer accordingly. It wouldn't be the first time a human made a mistake and it won't be the last.

Gotta watch those stealerships.

From what I gather, the OP's son-in-law's VZ had the V6 Daewoo-Tec 3.6L engine in it? Cooling problems are quite common in them. They tend to go through caps and thermostats like they're going out of style.
