It is true that a independent shop can get an engine cheaper, but is rebuilt. The engine Cheverlet will sell is brand new, so it is more costly. You did not say what year the chevy is. If it is over three years old none of the automakers has to do any thing. you also stated the truck has 37,000 miles well inless you bought an extended warrenty the truck is out of warrenty.

Any good vehicle engine should last for 100,000 miles or more. My point is that Ford backed their vehicles even though the warranty was ended. Also, Chevolets 50% cost of $3,000 is the 100% cost of a new engine at surrounding repair shops who also have a 3 year warranty. It makes me wonder if the 100% cost by Chevy is really $6,000 or are they simply stating this high figure to get 100% of the repair cost. 37,000 miles is low mileage for an engine to blow and the Chevolet dealer even stated it had to have been a factory defect. Ford didn't simply state, the warranty is done, sorry. Ford backed their product.

3yr/36000 miles is the lowest warranty that you will get. So, the person who paid for a repair at 27,000 miles... They got ripped off unless it had been more than 3 years. 50% was a fair offer, I believe, from Chevrolet to you. It was out of warranty, sorry, play again. They could have easily given you nothing. Well within their rights. You were, no doubt, offered the extended warranty to take it up to 6yrs/100,000 miles. You declined. A gamble that did not pay off.
