Free

lots of confusion as to whether this is free to customer or not. What's the real deal at MacMulkin?

 

[MacMulkin Chevrolet]

It is free to the customer.

 

[Hib Halverson]

You sure about that Rob?

I spoke to Dr. Jamie Meyer at SEMA and he told me it's 350 bucks. Dr. Meyer is the Mgr. of GM's Performance Parts Program and he should know.

 

[LLC5]

It does say in the bulletin MSRP $350.00, which is supposed to be the manufacturer's "suggested" retail price.

 

[bluemax219]

Mag ride upgrade

I took this bulletin to my local chevy dealer and he said the dealer had to pay $350 and there was an hour labor on top of that. I had a$100.00 rebate from my G.M card. They came down to $300 out the door. They said when they called the tech line on the bulletin they were told they had to pay the $350
So something is wrong one place or the other

My experience with my Chevy dealer is that $350 is the dealer price they have to pay plus an hours labor I am seeing free to $350 plus labor. Which is what it cost me.

Correct me if I am wrong but MSRP means the retail price not the wholesale price the dealer pays. My dealer asked MSRP plus $150 labor.

MSRP is Manufacturor SUGGESTED Retail Price, they can charge what ever they want. That bulletin price should only include the update and NOT the labor to install it.
