No doubt. Southern Chevrolet in Alexandria was like that. Took mine in for using oil 4 times over a year and they kept changing a seal here or there and telling it wasnt leaking. I was bout to go through the roof. I knew it wasn't leaking, I park in the same spot everyday on concrete, IT'S USING OIL!!! And it was all over the web what was wrong with the 07-08 5.3's. I finally took it to a small dealership down the road and they immediately did an oil consumption test and rebuilt the motor.
What I don't get, is why do they not want the warranty work? The manufacturer pays them well and they act like they will be taking a loss for doing it.

Warranty work pays crap next to customer pay work. I've worked for BMW, GM, and several independant shops back in the day. CUSTOMER PAY IS THE BREAD AND BUTTER FOR TECHS. Granted. some warranty jobs you can beat the labor units, but most you will just break even or lose your arse on.
That GM dealer should have known to do a consumption test right away. It is a very common problem.

Take a look at most chrysler manuals. They say 1qt per 1k is okay, just so they dont have to do shite
