I took my Red Eye in for it's first oil change and had the dealer look at an oil leak I had and they said that I need a new oil pan gasket. So I asked for a part number for the rear differential with 3.09 gear assembly and price to install it. They gave me the wrong part number 68427796AA but a great price to install it of$1314.76. I then gave the head of the service department the number that I thought was the correct part number 68427799AA and asked if it was correct and what the new price would be to have it installed. Well that is the last that I heard from them. Does any one know of a good place to take a Red Eye in the Green Bay area for service work? They might have a good mechanic but the service manager did not know anything about cars and it scares me to take it there knowing the service manager does not have a clue what he is dealing with. HELP!

Just because they're at the dealership doesn't mean they know more than we do. Dealers scare me.

Sorry, I cannot help.
South MS here.
Did have a service manager ask if the oil cooler was an aftermarket item though.

You are so right! It scares me to think about how much disassembly will have to be done just to put on a new oil pan gasket:(

If your talking about where I think your talking about, they're not draining the oil cooler? Just curious, I have quite a few more miles on mine

Good news! The dealership had my car fixed in less than 6 hours. The guy at the counter said yes it took less than expected because they did not have to remove the super charger??????
When I picked up the car I was shocked that the ticking sound from the passengers side was gone! Just when I was so afraid to take the car into the dealership for fear they would make things worse, the ticking sound was fixed and I did not even tell them about it because I thought it was just something we had to live with. I don't know what was all involved with changing out the oil pan gasket but, I would guess they possibly dropped the exhaust???

WOW. All the way around. Dealer doing good job / would not have though the SC needed to be removed to change gasket / mystery - annoying sound fixed. Awesome. Go buy lottery ticket immediately.

Why isn't this covered under warranty?

Do I trust them no, but they have me cornered. I don't have my previous mechanic he retired so I have to try and build a relationship with what I have. I am not feeling warm and fuzzy by any means I wish the hell my old mechanic would not have retired, he was an old racer and knew the ins and outs and cut through the BS
