Unfortunately she towed it to a dealership.

Make model ?

The dealership is the only place I'll take my car for a repair I can't do myself. They know the car inside and out.

Without the ability to measure the PSI on the rail its hard to diagnose. I assume she didn't have a code reader or even notice if a check engine light came on.

Check the positive cable at the battery. Chevy has been having some problems with positive terminal at the battery falling apart due to corrosion, on some models.
