McCarthy Auto World - Service Center

I bought a new 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD from this dealer a couple years ago. In fact, it was my 5th new vehicle in 5 years purchased from this same dealer. My experience with this vehicle has been less than couple years ago. In fact, it was my 5th new vehicle in 5 years purchased from this same dealer. My experience with this vehicle has been less than positive. I have had this truck in for warranty work twice (both power door locks failed, one at a time), and 2 recalls. On the last service visit, they returned my vehicle to me completely full of water spots. They ran it through the wash, and never dried it. Not a huge deal, but irritating. I called the service guy about it, and then emailed some pictures of the truck to him. They were very apologetic. Fine. No harm no foul. My suggestion to the dealer is either fix your car wash so it doesn't leave big white water spots, or simply do not offer to wash my car. Otherwise, the service visit was good. They were not able to find a solution to the transmission problem, but after a lot of research, it sounds like more of a design and engineering issue than a defect on this specific vehicle. They did offer to set up another service visit to take the truck on an extended drive in order to diagnose the problem further. I decided to trade the vehicle in instead. Problem solved. More
