Camaro Owner Busts Mechanics Beating On His Car

When you buy a brand new car, you expect things to be, well, perfect. And if they aren’t, you expect the dealership you bought the car from to fix those problems, and treat your car well while in their hands. These are not outlandish demands, especially when you figure that a car like the 2010 Camaro SS/RS can cost close to $40,000 brand new.

So when one Camaro owner took his car into Best Chevrolet in Easley, South Carolina, he probably wasn’t expecting the voice recorder he left in the car to capture the sounds of a couple of mechanics thrashing his car rather than fixing it. As Jalopnik notes, this video may make you cringe a bit.



The owner of this soon-to-be-thrashed Camaro took it into Best Chevrolet to get a grinding problem at parking lot speeds checked out. Despite describing the problem in detail, two mechanics went out and revved, launched, and hammered on the Camaro for about twenty minutes. The whole ordeal was caught on a hidden voice recorder, where you can hear the mechanics talking about ways to scam the Camaro owner into buying a new clutch after they’re done toasting it.

But the worst part is that despite being confronted by this seemingly irrefutable evidence, neither Best Chevrolet nor Chevy Customer Assistance have gone on to help the wronged individual. Nor is this the Camaro owner’s first experience with poor service on his Camaro after another dealership did basically the same thing.

Kind of makes you wonder if buying a new car is even worth it these days. What would you do if you caught mechanics hooning your Camaro?

that is some bullshit! Those guys should not only fix that damn thing but they ought to give the customer a free for life service agreement for thrashing his car!

This is why I hate taking my vehicles in...

Some independent shops, despite having less technical resources, often provide better service than stealerships.

I say they buy him a brand new car. Who knows what else is worn out after that little test drive.

Not the same thing at all, but I've taken this truck in a couple times, and when they pull it up on the hoist they rev the shit out of it because it has exhaust on it

After presenting the evidence to the dealership, and them not even saying sorry or acknowledging what happened. I would have contacted Chevy or GM's customer care and informed them that I planned on letting my local news and whoever else wants to listen, have a listen to my tape. I'm sure there's plenty of folks in that area that would love to know their Camaro's, Corvette's are being beaten on by the dealership's mouth breathing, redneck, asshole, dealership monkey wrenches.

After dealing with dealers for many years in my line of work, I don't trust them any further than I can throw them. Half of the "certified" mechanics... er... uh... technicians are often flunkies from a tech school with little experience and even less sense.

All dealers have one or two really good techs... but your chance of him working on your car are slim (especially if it's in for warranty work).
