Consumer Description

I used to go to Chevy for service and was seeing the same issue and got frustrated. Starting going to Meineke and they found out that I had an ongoing oil consumption issue. I contacted Chevy and GM. They said the vehicle had too much mileage and I tried to explain the issue. I went back to the Chevy dealership and they didn't find an oil consumption issue. There was a major lawsuit in other states regarding this as well. I didn't have all these issues brought to my attention until I went to Meineke and performed my own research.
