Nice car, very similar to my yellow C6. 
Do you get out the St. Albert way very often? I've noticed one other yellow C6 last October in town.
I've never been to E.M. but I have a friend that brings his Caddy to them. He is pretty happy so far.
Being new to the Corvette family I'm going to stick with what I know (very little) and that is a dealership for now. As I mentioned I've had very good workmanship at Westgate. No returns, all the clips replaced, etc. They take care of the details and shuttle me to/from St. Albert with a smile. I can't say that about any other place I been to in the last twenty or so years.
AFI website is (still) pretty skinny so I'll have to stop in to say hi, maybe this Friday?
08; I jut heard the new advertisement on the radio for Don W. They are telling all that they are a Corvette Dealer. Do you know who they partnered with?

Shop rate at a dealer is over $100 per hour and way less for any of the shops mentioned. I had a seat repaired and an HID replaced at AFI for probably half the cost of a dealer. I imagine places like Campbells are the same so once you are off warranty and ready for more power you will come around
I am looking at a C6Z or CTS-V next probably so maybe I will give Westgate a try for the warranty items.

Decision was?
Hi, in Edmonton, just bought our 2000 a couple of weeks ago. Having that problem with the ABS and Traction Control lights staying on, so we're wondering where you have found to be excellent service? I'm sorry I don't understand the tuning part... do you go elsewhere for that or is there a computer tuner? First time with such a technical car, big learning curve! 
Thanks so much for any help!

Thanks so much for any help!If you want, I can hook up to your car and read the ECU codes that have tripped to get a better idea of what has failed. PM me if you wish.
Go Esks!!

Oh thanks, that would be the first step I guess! Was given a link to "pull the codes", sounds like step 2 maybe.
Thanks so much for the offer, the technical stuff is a bit confusing but we want to do all the right things to keep this beauty running for a long long time!
Is it ok to drive it in the meantime?
I also read in the manual about using the ebrake before shifting to park and the other way around to shift out... I try to remember to do it that way!

Thanks so much for any help!A very familiar problem on some C5 Corvettes. An acquaintance where I work father had a 2000 that had the same issue, he went to Western Corvette Service in Calgary. The feedback I heard was very favorable for the diagnoses and repair.
