    New federal budget drops luxury tax on boats, aircraft (but not cars?)

    It's a shame if that is the case. Perhaps due to Trump's tariff war which is making a mess of Canad's auto industry. Why make it easier for the USA to sell their American automobiles ? Dropping the tax would have given a boost to auto sales in Canada. I know we are fans of Corvette but it's...

    DCT transmission Fluid and filter replacement

    Actually to me this seemed like an extended amount of time to service ? I arrived at 8 or 9am and the car was not ready till later in the afternoon . This was not 3 or 4 hours and done thing. Oil change , air filter, the transmission service and a full once over with fluid top ups. Trust me no...

    DCT transmission Fluid and filter replacement

    Ok you got me on that one. Talk about confusing ? I understand both measurements like most Canadians but it must be confusing to be an American trying to figure that one out . Anyway my original quote called for ten bottles but the final count from the mechanic was 12 bottles of fluid which...

    DCT transmission Fluid and filter replacement

    Car is a 2022 but was delivered in 2021. The Dealer in the US keyed it up as a 3 year service. I could have waited till I arrived home but that would have been 6 to 8,000 KMs of milage in a short period of time. San Francisco to Halifax and places in between. Plus in my area in two years I might...

    Thank-you JCWP, my fault since I do know better. Litres and quarts are not exactly equals in volume. I was charged for 12 quarts. I live in Canada but this service was done in the USA.

    DCT transmission Fluid and filter replacement

    Maximus74 " In total 10 litres of oil was put in the transmission." When mine was done the mechanic put in 12 litres . After reading this it must of been the standard !0 litres plus the extra 2 litres for track use ? I do remember the service representative mentioning to me that the car took 2...

    GM Employee warranty and services Discount

    I’m not sure why people here believe by me posting that bill that I was complaining about my bill ? I merely showed people here what a 72,000 km or 3 years ( whatever comes first ) maintenance bill can look like. It’s on page 294 and page 295 of the 2022 Corvette Owners manual. Some people here...

    You mean to say a Corvette Dealership would actually look you in the face, fudge your bill and lie to a Corvette owner ? :) Say it ain't so ! lol

    Tyres are not part of a GM maintenance agreement. Where do you suggest I call in San Jose when you are already standing in the largest Corvette Dealership in San Jose ? Also if I remember correctly getting into a Corvette Dealership for service was generally a one to two week wait. I got the...

    " Come on man, you didn't question this... " " The Service Department ran Train on you ... " Normally people or service departments don't run Train on me and what good is questioning this when you are on the other side of North America . I'm from Halifax and not San Jose where their GM...

    Read it and weap. Two things to notice, that's in US $$ and they added sales tax plus a surcharge to use VISA after the total you see here. Also when you think of it. Was I overcharged ? I have no way of knowing . With the pre paid agreement that's no longer my issue.
