The California Chevrolet supplier whose technician was caught road racing a Dodge Charger in a customer’s C8 Corvette has created great by enabling the operator to trade in his car or truck on a replacement at the dealer’s expenditure – taxes and all. 

Previously this summer time, the consumer brought his 2021 Corvette in to Freemont Chevrolet to diagnose an motor tick, which turned out to be nothing at all much more than a loose spark plug. When the buyer received the car or truck back again, he found that the car’s Overall performance Knowledge Recorder (PDR) valet mode had recorded just one of the dealer’s techs taking the vehicle for a spin soon after completing the work. 

The Travel (which also claimed the preliminary incident) caught up with the owner and supplier this 7 days, both of whom expressed satisfaction at the result. The buyer went residence with a 2022 Corvette at no expense, leaving his 2021 product in trade. 

A shakedown travel to validate a correct is not unusual, and we’d even anticipate techs to investigate an engine’s rev variety (after warming it up, of class) if the powertrain is at the center of the concern. But an impromptu, 148-mph street race is not what we – or the C8 owner, for that matter – experienced in head.
