Thou shalt not take thy ZR-1 to a unknowing dealership for engine maintenance, :pray especially not an oil change!

Latest one I know of; dealership "worked" on the engine, severely damaged it & tried to cover up a broken piston by welding the broken piston:jawdrop: while still in the cylinder. Then sent it home with the owner....... like it was fixed......NOT!
