Default Help finding dealer in Kissimmee, FL area

I am picking up my new C7 this week and heading to Kissimmee FL for vacation. I need a reputable dealer to get the 500 mile oil change that is mandatory by GM Can anyone in that area direct me to a dealer that knows how to change the oil in a dry sump engine and won't crush the rocker-panel when lifting it. I really hate taking it to a dealership but have no choice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I will be staying near Disney.

Get a set of jack pucks to protect your rocker panels before you go

Don't know which way you are coming from, but Cecil Clark Chevrolet is Vette-Approved as well. If you stop, tell them the Corvette Club of Marion County sent you. You might get a discount.

Starling Chevy in South Orlando has a great service department... I drive further than 2-3 other closer dealers in the area to get there.

Keith, who is one of the best Corvette techs in the area, is on staff at:
AutoNation Chevrolet West Colonial
3707 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32808

I heard good things about Stingray Chevrolet in Plant, also.

Good luck.

Another vote for Keith. Segregated Corvette shop, that is all he works on, knows these cars inside out. He is the only one that touches my cars I don't do the work myself.

I really wanted to like Stingray but I have not had good experiences at all.... I thought I would but two items repaired at different times and both times I had to go back as there was a problem with the repair (and they tried to charge more money).

I'm thinking that should probably not happen at the 6th biggest Vette dealer in the country.

That being said...They have a well for oil changes so no worry of cracked rockers and there is an older gentleman there who does nothing but oil changes so you should be fine.

Give Roger's Corvette Center a call. While servicing, you can peruse their super sized showroom full of unique and some historic Corvettes. Will not disappoint if they can fit you in.

Update: I just called them at 407-628-8300 to confirm and she says they sell used only. I told her that owner Roger Judski himself had told me they were authorized to sell brand new and she says no more. They sell only used period. And they do not service new ones.

Nonetheless, check it out if time permits. It's off Hwy 17 inbound off beltway 417 which is north side of Orlando while Kiss is south side.

ACROSS the street from Roger's is H&H Corvettes. Owner is a former NCRS judge. They are honest, very capable and friendly.
And they always have some interesting Vette restoration/s going.
