Even the most frequent visitors aren’t always in-market:

• Typical visit frequency leaves a lot of time to connect with guests between visits

Hello, I was seen and found out its going to cost $1000 to fix… the radio is fried. I thought something would be done to help considering it only lasted a month after I bought it… but nope. Nothing... so… First Chevrolet will be the last Chevrolet for me… it is not your fault… and I thank you for helping me…- Vanessa

Well you guys worked your magic and answered my prayers! My dealership called and said they are replacing my radio free of charge thanks to a call from GM! You guys are awesome and I can’t thank you enough for this wonderful late Christmas present!Your forever faithful customer,Vanessa
