I was at the car stealership for some warranty work. I left the car with them and a service rep called to say I didn’t have insurance. I did. When I verified that, the rep said he’s get the work done that we’d discussed earlier. When he called to update, miraculously some other work that was covered was done without my knowledge or consent. Funny that when I couldn’t pay there’s was no work, but when a third party could pay...

Common? You betcha! And we get squeezed in ins premiums. I know cuz I investigated worker’s comp fraud.

The transmission in my Trailblazer SS blew-up at 13K miles (great truck, lousy tranny). When rebuilding the transmission they broke an O2 sensor. I know this because it delayed my car being done by yet one more day till one could be obtained (they called to tell me).

When I picked the car up the tranny rebuild was listed on the invoice and then a customer complaint for a “Check Engine” light, which I never complained of having. The fix for the bogus “Check Engine” light? Why a defective O2 sensor! Cheerfully covered by General Motors warranty.
