Did anyone make a thread about the Buff Whelan Chevy dealership fire?

Damn, that's some damage!!

Probably the only upside to this is that the tool vendors are going to have a big payday. Sucks in pretty much every other way though

Most ins companies buy direct from tool companies

The ceiling ended up caving in on my box so I haven't really seen it. They are replacing all our boxes with whatever we had.

remind me to give you my receipts for the tools you borrowed

So you are saying that the fuel didn't melt the steel beams?

I am a tech at Buff Whelan Chevrolet. Let me start by saying the owner and management have done an amazing job of taking care of all of us. All of our tools are being covered by insurance and are in the process of being replaced. We will have a temporary service building while they rebuild, and they are going to pay us our average hours until we are back and running a hundred percent. Not one person was layed off or lost there job. One of the best company's I've worked for.

It does not get better than that.....

Only jet fuel can burn steel beams

Does anyone have updates on the dealership? I drive by a few times a week and it looks like it's still making minimal progress.

Any word on the techs/service adisors etc?

I’ve been there a couple times for free oil changes. it looks like they take the cars to the used vehicle building for oil changes, not sure about actual repairs.

Please provide more details on these free oil changes. It now costs $55 to do an oil change on my HHR.

GM gives 2 on new cars.

$55 is crazy though. I paid $60 a few months ago at the dealership on my Sierra. That’s for 8 quarts and a tire rotation! It’s barely worth it to do it myself at that price.
