Default Decent service for Chevy?

Curious if anyone can recommend a dealer in the Seattle area that's actually worth a crap for service on Chevy trucks..

I've been taking it to the dealer in North Bend and I'm so far not at all impressed. I've had to take it back at least once for everything I've had done (and it's simple ****), and the last time I got it back it smelled like gasoline inside the truck.

Need to find a service department for warranty stuff that's actually worth a damn...

Any recommendations?

I had mixed experience with Lee Johnson in kirkland. Ripped me off (as expected) for non-warranty stuff but did my warranty job fast and without any issues (i had them put in a new cat, they gave me a ride and washed the car). However, I am a little uncomfortable sending people to service guys who tried to feed me "ping is normal on these cars because they do not have EGR" line. If you go there, ask for Tom.

Don't take it to Issaquah Chev. I had real problems there they broke my windsheild, topped off my coolant with regular anti-freeze and scratched my dash.

The only Chevy dealerships I have used are south, Parkland Chevy & Titus Will chevy. But I have heard that Jet is really good. even more so if you say you are a Member of PNWCC because the owner is as well.

I used to go to "Crook in the Night" They have been bought up by auto nation now. Seems like every thing I took in took at least a repeat visit. Then again they never did out and out lie to my face like they did at Lee Johnsons

Really makes you wish you could do your own warranty service, doesn't it?

I mean, I definitely feel like I could do a better job of it than the monkeys that have been working on it.
