Default Dealers in Central NJ

I recently picked up a new 2017 Z06 over the winter and its almost time to do the 500 mile oil change. Can anyone suggest a good dealer in the area that is also friendly to modifications or if you've had good experience in handing your Z06 over to them?

I use Oasis Chevy in Freehold. Mike Kelner is the service star to the corvette crowd. Jay, is the corvette mechanic, who is excellent.
I live in Hudson county, but this is the only dealer that services my Z06. Kerbeck is just a little too far, even though I bought it there.
I have sent three other very happy Z06 owners there and they are impressed.

I will say no tire or rim work there though. We joke about it now, but they totaled a front rim trying to reseat a tire. In fairness, they replaced rim and two front tires free.
If you need a place for tire and rim work I use a place in Staten Island.
They just did 4 MPcup2's on my track rims, finished all four in 45 minutes. Not a scratch and all for $140. These guys know corvette rims and tires inside and out.

DM me if you need any other places

I will take delivery of a convertible Z06 from Kerbeck on the 15th but for my 500 oil change, I will be giving Elkins in Marlton a chance.

I stopped over for a chat on Tuesday and they said all the right things; their Corvette guy does the oil changes, they have Hunter's Revolution tire changer (touchless) and do road-force balancing. While my Z06 is in for the oil change, I will have them swap the tires to a set of Z06 chrome wheels from DOCZ.

I am an unabashed PITA SOB about my car and will report back afterwards.

Check this thread out (recent too from the fall): Couple folks recommended Malouf in North Brunswick and even listed the vette service specialist as "Jeff"

Oasis is actually in Old Bridge not Freehold. There's also Pinebelt in Lakewood, but I would be nervous with any of them if it were my new Z. Good luck!

I use bridgewater chevy and they do a great job. Totally cover your interior with plastic so there is no mechanic marks.

This is good to hear, they would be one of the closest to me and I use to bring my C5 there. Haven't heard any recent experiences so was going to trust Malouf since some said good things.

Do you know who the Corvette mechanic/specialist is at Bridgewater?
