Default 500 mile oil change in Houston??

Ok guys, my 2016 Z06 is quickly approaching 500 miles. I would like to know if any Houstonians can recommend a good trusted chevy dealership to take it to to change the oil. I have heard horror stories of taking your vette to the dealer so I just want to be safe. This is my first vette so I want to be cautious. Thanks in advance.

Classic Chevrolet in Sugar Land. You can watch them as they change you oil. I walk back to the bay and talk to the tech. They know I'm very particular

I am happy with the job done at Demontrond Chevrolet in Texas City on 12/06/2016 with 502 miles on my Z06.

I made appt for 7:30 AM and was on the road by 8:30. Had hot coffee while I waited. They did not damage the car in any way, and they did not over or under fill the oil. I was especially apprehensive based on stories on the forum.

I purchased the car in Lake Jackson because they had the one I wanted and it was a killer price, but I would have purchased from Demontrond if they had one I wanted (they had 4 on the showroom floor, 3 being dry sump models Z51/GS/Z06).

I've always had good dealings with their sales and service, they just haven't yet had a car or truck on the lot that met my needs/wants.

I had mine done a Mac Haik and all went well. Mobile One oil and all. Car was as perfect when returned as when I drove in. Took all of about an hour for the OC. Alignment took a bit longer.

Or you could do it yourself. It's very easy, even with the dry sump.

Classic Chevy in Sugarland is the preferred local dealer for Vette service and most folks use them. My dad uses them on his C7 Z51 dry sump car.

I use Norman Frede Chev in Webster on both my 16' SS Camaro and my 16' C7Z for oil changes and have had no issues with either of them. I checked the oil on both after they serviced them and they filled them 100% correctly.
