Default Long Island trusted service needed

Looking for a trusted service dealer on LI for oil changes, clutch fluid changes, inspections.

My trusted mechanic at Smithtown Chevy left and so did the service manager.

Thanks.

"Dealer"? Why not the Vette Doctors?

They are great. I have had a lot of work done by them in the past, just not routine stuff like oil changes and inspections. Didn't want to waste their time. Guess I will speak with Dennis or Anthony to see if they can squeeze me in.

The Vette Doctors do my routine maintenance.

spoke with Dennis and they can due the routine, but the issue is they have to take the car to a place to get the inspection done.

Thanks Cliff.

I found out that a tech at Smithtown that has worked on my car who I trust is still there so probably going to go there, but it' nice to have options as I've heard the service at Smithtown has gone down hill the last 6-months.

Atlantic Chevy is great! (Bayshore) Really do quality work and they know what the hell they are doing.

Vette Docs are good too...I use them for mods tho.

ok, well finally had time to bring the Z to Smithtown Chevy. Turns out Ralph the vette mechanic who has always serviced my car for routine maint took over the building next door to Chevy and only services vettes & Camaros for the dealership (it was their diesel building I was told).

Has I believe 8-lifts and was spotless.

Ralph is the certified vette mechanic and is meticulous.

+1 for vette doctors. They helped me out and didn't even charge me anything.

That's good to know. Do you have a dry sump C7?
I'll be getting my new Z06 soon and trying to figure out where to get it serviced is quite concerning as I'm hearing horror stories about most dealers.
What service advisor and corvette tech do you deal with?

Service advisors name is Mike and the corvette tech is Eric. I do have a dry sump system. Eric was very nice he brought me into the shop and gave me a tour.
