compensation for problems with car

I have been having a reoccurring problem with my car that since has been fixed "hopefully" lol. Anyways i contacted gm the zone manager etc about this problem and why they couldn't fix it. Well the other day i received a call from the person handling my case and he said due to my inconvenience gm wants to compensate me with something to make everything right again. What he offered was a 2 yr/24000 mile maintenance package. I wasn't thrill but i inquired to see what all is covered, oil changes chassis lube tire rotation etc. I specifically asked if brakes were including due to issue with the rear brakes and he said no. I then told him that offer is pretty much useless since i do my oil changes myself and have a tire place already, and the dealership is out of my way for anything about a 20 min drive. The gm rep then said well what can gm do for me to make it right and i didnt know what to ask for being put on the spot. He said think about it over the weekend and he would call back. Anybody been in this situation? What would yous ask for and be reasonable lol.

sorry i didn't elaborate on the problem. The problem is from the stage 1 kit and the butt connections, they said the problems with the car was caused due to not having the connections soldered together. There are thread about this problem symptoms are car wont boost over 5 psi and cuts out etc. Anyways any other ideas on what to ask for?

Yeah, but I'm not going to look for your post... I'm assuming they installed your stage 1 kit... If they've properly fixed it, I wouldn't ask for anything else. God, what a gimme-gimme world.

Sounds like you called their bluff.
They were pretty much just trying to apease you without paying anything.
Giving you something they knew youd never use and worthless makeing it
sound like something great.
