Hope it's a good dealer. Those are few and far between in GM's world. Corporate not only screws you, the customer, but they royally screw their techs as well. This encourages speed over quality, firing the parts cannon over detailed troubleshooting.

Good luck. You're gonna need it.

And I wouldn't park one of those within 100' of ANYTHING I own! :o

Just wear a mask, Smitty. You'll be fine. Worried about a fire ? LOL They are rare. Nothing to fret over.

I didn't know you could smoke coke. How does it pick up the smoke through the can?

NM. As soon as I hit submit I realized it had to be in a plastic bottle.

Those kias and hyundias are everywhere. A friend of mine had a bunch of them.Just about every one needed a new engine or a transmission replaced within a few years of new.
