For those SS owners like me who are outside the US, would you risk doing to a GM dealership/mechanic in Europe?

I'm coming up on an oil change (I could do it myself, but I prefer "pros") and I'm debating wether or not to go to a GM mechanic in Europe to have them do it. Would you risk it? If not, why not? If so, why?

Part 2: I'm also contemplating ordering the Stage 2 kit as well, then of course taking it to a GM dealer/mechanic in Europe to have it installed. Same questions apply.

I'm in Germany, in case you can't read where I'm from under my avatar.

Thanks guys!

well they deal w/ saab. and saab has the 2.0 eco turbo. so i guess i would do it

 

Well there are OPEL dealers out here as well but I went to www.chevroleteurope.com and found a chevy mechanic as well, but still, I'm a bit apprehensive.

Anyone?

You bought the car in the US then shipped it to Germany?

I dont see the problem in going to a Chevy dealership over there. GM should be GM no matter where you are in the world.

 

I have a 2005 cobalt ss, i live in schweinfurt, ge

if you want a premium place for work go to weurzberg at the gm/opel dealership
they hooked me up with everything.
if you have any questions let me know.

TorontoSS.. yes, I bought the car in the US, then had military orders to Germany so they shipped it.

Okay, so I finally broke down and called that dealer I've metnioned before. I can get the Stage 2 for 1,006.03 EUR. That equates to 1,245.25 USD! That is freakin' INSANE.

Of course that's going through the dealer and having them order it. Now I'm wondering if I can just go through gmpartsidrect.com and order it myself and just take it to them and have them install it. Hmmmm....

LoozCannon- I'm in the same boat as you, along with an other guy. I have an '06 SS/SC and he has an '05 SS/SC, but we're in the UK. I'm coming up on an oil change as well and I want to do it myself, but I'd rather take it to a dealership. We both are thinking about going Intense stage 3 or GM stage 2. The only thing is, what dealer to go to. Well good luck in Germany

 

TxL; try www.chevroleteurope.com and look for dealers. That's how I found mine. Hope that helps!
