i went to the dealership today to get my first oil change and new reflash, i asked how much they would charge to install a stage 2. they said they couldn't do it, it is aganist the law to change car emissions in new jersey; wtf is that about?!?!?! Anybody know of a dealership is jersey near burlington or atco that will install a stage 2?

 

bob mcguire chevy talk to the parts guy dave and then talk to the tech named chris.

 

MAGUIRE IN BORDENTOWN SUCKS DICK! DO NOT GO THERE!!!! YOU WERE WARNED!!!

 

ok so they suck dicks and install stage 2, so like a win win to me. i assume you got yours done there, price? and to the other guy, what exactly did they do to you to **** you off?

 

man i dont know why you think they suck dick, they treated me rite and did stage 2 on my car... it came out fine. they are one of the gm performance providers...they can always get a gmpp part. But i know it was like $675 or something for stage 2 and it was $180 in labor, they only charge 2 hours. Give them a call or you can even go there and talk to dave and chris.... chris has a cobalt wit stage 2. and he's the only tech there that meses with cobalt ss/sc.

 

Yes, please explain yourself.

 

Bob Maguire Chevy installed my stage 2 with no problems and charged me accordingly for the labor. They did a great job and I would recommend them to anyone to get their stage kit installed. My local dealers (3 of them) had no idea what I was talking about when I asked them about stage kits, but Bob Maguire did and were very helpful.

 

i know where bordentown is, its a little ways north from me, but what road is this dealership on?

 

wouldn't cover the clutch on my car with 11k miles......said the car look like its been abused b/c there was insufficient tire tread.

 

What was the total price for the stage 2 at Maguire?

 

bump with a price????

 

I think I paid a total of $750 installed.

 

im not saying they are bad installing........i dealt with some lady there.

 

i may still get my stage 2 done there

 

I don't know how the Chevy dealers are in the city or by you, but the ones around me had no idea about the kits so I was kinda forced to go to Maguire...and it worked at well.

 

First delete the post with the nasty comment and apoligize!

 

The old tire wear = abuse thing? Welcome to the club.

 

You still been keeping busy with stage kit installs? Ever get to the track yet, the last time I talked to you, you wanted to go but never got there.

 

Yeah, finally did. Ran a 14.0@103mph w/2.4 60'. Only did one run though!

 

There is more to the story than you think.

 

I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt once, and I have a few minutes. If you don't mind sharing the story I don't mind listening. You're a GM tech/mech right? Do aftermarket break pads void the warranty?

 

Nice time...with a trap speed that high and a better 60' your looking at mid 13's I would think. Best of luck.

 

Thanks, I know I can do better, just don't have the time to get out there.

 

Same here, I haven't been to Atco or any track since...April I think. Haven't even ran with my Stage 2 and most of my other mods...lol.

 

Aftermarket pads could cause problems that would not be covered; such as noise, wear or pulsation, basically anything that the pads have caused. Your warranty for the car or stock brake system would not be effected.
Well, as far as the story; Yes, we denied warranty of the cluch (was slipping very bad). A/C was also inop. We found that all 4 tires were worn to the wear indicators (they were rotated once). The vehicle had 12,892 miles on it at that time. That is pretty quick to wear out 4 tires. Upon further inspection it was found the vehicle was in an accident, hence the reason the A/C was inop, (condensor was damaged). Also, body panels were replaced and repaired to a sub professional level, these signs indicated abuse in our eyes. We spoke to them about our findings and were informed that the vehicle was in an accident and that they had reciently purchased the car from someone or from some Used Car dealer. We advised them to seek repairs from the selling party.
We had felt bad for the fact that they had purchased a car that was neglected and abused, along with being damaged. We came to the desision to not charge for "Check-Out", in which we resieved no payment from anyone. (Our Techs work on a flat rate basis, so time is money).
Some investigation was done and found the vehicle was issued a "Salvaged Title" by the Federal Goverment and a "Warranty Block" was issued by GM at an earlier date. For what reasons, unknown.
So, Maguire is an "Awful" place to do buisness, because of this?
