I had a Deville for over a week, when the dealer said my H2 was ready one morning I told them it was inconvenient for me to get up there until the following day (hour drive) – they said no problem. Heck, I didn’t even buy the truck there, guess some dealers are just  tighter than others.

The SUT is going in this afternoon for a handfulf of warranty items. I asked the service guy for a loaner and he said he'd reserve me a Tahoe or Trailblazer. That's fine with me.
Next he says "GM will only pay for 3 days of the loaner, after that you have to pay." Does that sound right to you guys? I suspect the SUT will be there for a few days & don't want to pay for the rental if I don't have to.
BTW, I didn't buy it from them. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I would think that if it is under warranty, then they shouldn't charge you for a loaner, regardless. If they tried to charge me for a loaner after 3 days, I would tell them where to stick their loaner  .

Update -
Check the SUT into service and start with the loaner process. Service writer on the phone:
"What do you have for cars? Where's the Tahoe? What about the Trailblazer? ..... Ok, pull that up."
A minute or two later he points out the window to a purple minivan. I laughed at him and said "Im not driving that. What else do you have?"
Drove away in a green Malibu, pissed. The thing stinks so bad I can smell it on my clothes today at work. I emptied a bottle of Febreeze in it before bed, left the windows down all night, and it didnt touch the stench. There are spent matches on the drivers floor where someone apparently was lighting smokes and throwing them on the floor. There are other unidentifiable odors which could be coffee, chili, or something I don't want to know about.
Its unwashed, unvacuumed, I had to clean the inside of the windshield since I couldnt see crap in the sun from the smoke haze, and the front marker light is out and people can't tell if I'm turning. The thing only has ~9000 miles on it too!
What would you all do? They better fix my truck FAST....

Take it back and tell them the check engine light keeps coming on and you fear for your safety. If they don't give you something else, threaten their pets.

Why is the SUT in? Did you let the wife drive it? Make sure they wash it for you.

Again Dan, I am really looking forward to camping with you.
If you don't get the coffee/chili smell out of your pores please do us a favor, get this tent..I think Spike said you could get one at Wal-mart for 79.99. |

Its in for a handful of warranty things.
The major problem is the last time we had heavy rain the overhead console got water in it and it dripped water onto the dash. The water made a bee-line for the NAV slot and screwed up the display for a few days. Its dried & working fine now but... 
Mirrors stopped folding correctly.
Muffler shield popping noise.
Control door in the ventilation system not opening for feet.
Steering column noise.
Passenger side blows high heat sometimes regardless of setting.
Wiper module upgrade.
That's it.  Still love the truck!!
H2cp - They should have those outside of all WalMarts to decontaminate after shopping. |

Actually, the wife drove the SUT for the first time a few weeks ago. She liked it but says its not her thing. I have her trained well. |

Yeah yeah.
Its a bit better today after sitting out in the parking lot with all the windows down. Its going out in the driveway tonite like that.
Before I bring it back I'm going to stash a few eggs and a paper carton of milk under the back seat.  |

Don't know. Never had to take my '03 in for service. Knock/knock/knock/knock on wood!

Before the dealership got Escalades, it was Caddilac Devilles. Both were unavailable last time in and I got a new Buick.

I have not read my contract, but I think that sounds wrong. In my opinion, the longer I am without the vehicle I paid for, the more GM should be paying me to make up for that.

Loaner question: What does the dealer normally give you?
