What Did You Do To Your HHR Today?
Replaced my lower control arms today. The Good: very easy and relatively inexpensive job - $200 and two hours. The Bad: I noticed the Rust Monster was creeping up last week when I replace the motor and trans mounts, today I got a better look and it’s worse than I thought. I figure another winter or two and it’s time to get a replacement - hopefully a Chevy Bolt EUV which is the closest thing out there to an HHR and I really want an EV for a get around town car.
unless it's something critical... please do not go to the dealer for any sort of service or parts right now... or at least call ahead and ask if they run on CDK
CDK is a massive dealer program, everything in the building runs on it, sales, service, parts, inventory... they got hit with back to back cyber attacks last week
over 15K dealers are essentially dead in the water right now (the number supposedly jumps to 30K once you factor in trucks and other companies (like my rental fleet)
it's been an absolute nightmare at work... and they have no ETA on fixing it, anywhere from days to weeks,

AC pressure valve replaced. 2 months ago the motor was pulled to replace some expensive part on my tranny. Not sure I can blame my pot hole for this repair. But now I have a little front wheel wobble. I can probably blame the pot hole again. Phooey!
The Bolt has far less cargo space than the HHR.... if you are not totally against another ICE vehicle, we just bought a 2024 Trax, and they are really nice for the money- heck, they are just plain nice. We got the LT version, and it's very well equipped for the entry level Chevy.
