Dealer Recommendation??? Columbus, OH area
Looking for recommendations - or WATCH OUT for Chevy dealers in Columbus, OH and surrounding area. 2 "local" dealers that sell more than a few corvettes are Jack Maxton in Columbus or Bud's Chevrolet in St. Mary's. Any experiences to share?????? Will be taking mine in for service and want to make an educated decision. Thanks forum!

Coughlin in Pataskala is a very big Corvette dealer. Don't know about their service, but I'd say take a look.

Bud's in St Marys sponsors our club (Corvette Troy) and I've heard good things about them.

If your local dealerships don't have what you want, most of the forum vendors will ship anywhere. I've dealt with Criswell Chevrolet in Maryland and have been very happy with them. Mike Furman's your guy there.

Bud's Chevrolet
Before I bought my 2011 GS convertible, I visited every Chevrolet dealer in the area. I am sure that others have had different experiences, but I found nothing very satisfying. McDorman once was great but sold the business, and it is just not the same. Maxton thought that a museum delivery meant that I wanted to donate the car to a museum. The experience at Byers approached being surreal. I think these dealers are used to selling Cobalts, not Vettes.
Then I emailed Tom Hendricks at Bud's in St. Mary's. We dealt by email and phone, and I actually visited Bud's only the dead was set in order to deliver my 1995 Corvette convertible trade-in. Tom is knowledgeable, friendly, and very quick to respond. The price was as good as any of the larger dealers: Kerbeck, Boardwalk, MacMulkin, and so forth. I'm a very happy camper.
If you go to St. Mary's try the Beer Barrel, next to Bud's. Good food and drink.

I bought my '13 C6 from Dave Gill Chevy @ 4700 E. Broad Street in downtown Columbus.
DG Chevy matched CF dealer's prices and he is also a a certified Callaway dealer. This alone should tell you that they have top notch Sales/Service experience to be able to carry a specialty Corvette franchise. My 2 cents...
See Corvette Rod Stalter. Great/passionate guy.
