Recommended dealer near Hattiesburg, MS???
I recently acquired a new to me 2006 H2, with 14,000 miles on it. I'd like to get it to a dealer (or qualified) mechanic/technician to make sure everything's ok and there're no impending issues. It still has about 12 months left on the bumper to bumper warranty, so it'd be nice to have tires, wheels, brakes, suspension, hoses, belts, fluids, tune up, etc. reviewed to make sure there're no about to fail component/system.
It looks like my choices for dealers are Jackson, MS; Mobile, AL; New Orleans, LA; Baton Rouge, LA; Montgomery, AL and, Birmingham, AL at 85, 90, 110, 120, 200, and 235+ miles distant. I've made several calls recently to the Jackson area dealer and always gotten shuffled to "Patrick's" voice mail, their "hummer guy," but haven't gotten a return call yet.
Any suggestions for which of these dealers have a good/great service department for my H2, or for a real 4WD mechanic who'd be equally or better equipped to look over my new H2 and do needed repairs would be very much appreciated. Sooner is better. I was hoping to get this done on Monday March 16 barring serious issue discovered.

Gerry Lane Hummer in Baton Rouge. Worth the drive, they will treat you right, and are just down right good Hummer folks. Call and ask for Terry, the General Manager, and explain your situation, and I'm sure he'll let you know if he can help you.

Make sure you are under factory warranty or else. They will tell you anything if you call in(oh yeah thats covered under gmpp) then they call you to break the news. My last experience there will be my last.

Re: Recommended dealer near Hattiesburg, MS???
Any recommendations other than Baton Rouge?
(The booklet that came with it seems to suggest it's still under warranty, but I'll double check. It was first sold to the hockey club I bought it from in mid 2006 and has 14,800 miles on it.)

Stay away from the kids in Mobile, AL. Bad Choice there. The Jackson,MS guys are not to customer friendly when it comes to doing service work regarding warranty issues. I use to live in Jackson,MS so I know how they operate. I have an 06 as well, however due to the age, my warranty runs out in November of this year. May be a dumb question, but how do you still have 12 months?

Quite a drive, but so far as MS, and FL, I'd have to vote on University Hummer in Tallahassee,FL. They are a great group and have wonderful customer service. They'll treat you vehicle right and put you in a rental while they have it. However, if it needs some body stuff done to it, PLEASE tell them not to send it to Champion Chev. They are not only brainless, they have no idea of the value of Hummers. I got Gatorback applied under warranty and they not only had to retint my front windows, they also broke the rear passenger door arm rest off and tried to glue it back, scratched up the interoor plastics massively, and had to repaint the rear door, and front hood due to their lack of "caring". I had to take it back a total of 4 times to this one shop. Now, I have noticed that where they painted the rear door, the paint doesn't even match.....sorry for the rant
