Last Decemeber I brought my 2005 corvette to Kipp Scott to have a differential installed. They installed the differential and reprogrammed my cars computer for the speedometer to read correctly. The repr to have a differential installed. They installed the differential and reprogrammed my cars computer for the speedometer to read correctly. The reprogram portion of the job was approximately $250. As far as I can tell the differential was installed correctly (Although it does make a slight whine but if it gets worse I will be going elsewhere to get it checked). However I made changes to my car (new exhaust) that required modification to the computer system. When I attempted to make that change I was unable to because the cars computer was locked. GM does not lock their cars from factory. Nor does the dealer. So I was concerned how this could have happened. I contacted Kipp Scott and after making an appointment (2 days) I was able to talk to the technician. He informed me that the computer software was sent to a third party "westers garage" to have the ecm recalibrated and that they Locked the computer. I asked for it to be unlocked they said no. I asked for it to be returned to me the way it was before I brought the car to them. They said fine and when I went to pick up the car they charged me 1 hour of service ($120) to return my car to me. On the way home I thought it was strange that traffic and my speedometer were matching correctly. I got a coworker to drive his car at 60km/h and I followed him my speedometer read 60km/h. I then went on to the internet and did some research. The vehicle speed sensor on all corvettes since 1998 has been located on the car in such a way that differentials will not affect the speedometer reading. Basically the only thing that will affect speedometer readings are by changing the tire diameters, which was NOT done. Anyway long story short. Kipp scott charged me $250 originally to "fix my speedometer" by sending it to a third party that locked my cars computer and then charged me an additional $120 to return the car the way it was before. If they didn't have the original file to put back in my car the repair cost would have bee around $800 - $1200 to have my car professionally retuned back to where I had it before Kipp Scott locked it.

I have had many vehicles and been involved with many dealerships in 20 years. Up until I found kippscott I always felt that the dealership was just using me to make money. After purchasing both my vehic dealerships in 20 years. Up until I found kippscott I always felt that the dealership was just using me to make money. After purchasing both my vehicles from kippscott I have never looked back. The sales people, the parts people, the service people at kippscott are there to help you, not to make a quick buck off you. They are always friendly, always ready to answer questions and make you feel like a valued customer instead of just another invoice number. I know that if Kippscott tells me my vehcile is in need of a certain part or service they are telling me because it actually does, not because it is recommened in some manual somewhere. More
