Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At 61,000 miles the head gasket blew. at the time there was no recall for this item. i called the dealer and was informed that this repair would be over $900. with no choice at hand, i did the repair myself. i completed the job in about 14 hours, plus the expenses of the parts. i didn't save my receipts because i didn't have any reason to believe i would need them. however, i did save the head gasket.some months later, i received a letter from chevrolet stating this was a factory defect and would be reimbursed for the work. i proceed to contacted the dealer and the chevrolet customer assistance center who issued me a case # of 06762207. they informed me that i would receive nothing without a receipt. any assistance in this matter that you may be able to provide will be greatly appreciated. *ak
