Who does everyone recommend for taking your Z06 in for service? I have some very friendly dealers around me, but they aren't very familiar with working on vettes and I want my warranty work done by someone that knows what they're doing.

Rydell Chevrolet in Northridge. A hike for some but definitely worth it.

I've had good luck with the service dept at Glendora Chevrolet. Ask for Chuck. He's a straight shooter and gets stuff done promptly.

Their sales dept is another matter. 10K mkt adjustment on a Z06 etc. No thanks.

CONMAX

depends completely on the mechanic (now called techs since they only replace things) that works on your car. the service writer, manager, parts guy and others don't count.

even if you hear of a good tech trained on Z06, there is no assurance that they will be assigned to work on your car.

i am still searching for a socal area dealership/tech that will fix some ongoing problems with mine after 4 attempts.

I thought Donny at Rydell was the cats meow? Are you not telling us something?

I've had my Z51 track prepped by Donny and he's great. He races/tracks his own C6 Z06 and he's super willing to talk to you and I've had great results.

FYI - I live in Seattle and have him do the work when I'm going to track events in SoCal.

Whats the word on Keyes in Van Nuys

I have used Win in Long Beach/Carson for 7 years on my C6Z and now the C7Z. Their lead tech, Al, is awesome.

I have traded in my Z51 (which I loved) for a Grand Sport Z07. I had Donny prep in for a track day at Buttonwillow Raceway last month. He was, again, super helpful. Came out to talk to me about everything they did and talked about some upcoming track events in SoCal. He explained the differences in the GS suspension compared to my Z51 and to Z06s. The suspension does have differences to a Z06. He was able to adjust the caster to the full track setting without removing the control arms which he said they have to on Z51s and Z06s.

They also found some coupons for the service and saved me about $100. Every little bit helps.

My experience with Al was quite a while ago and was 100% positive. I completely trusted him with my car. Glad to hear he's still there.

I use Paradise Chevrolet in Temecula. They seem to know what they are doing on Corvettes and sell a good amount. Rydell is probably one of the highest volume dealers. Paradise did the oil change without the Mobil 1 issue and they also have the specialized tools for doing the proper alignments including rear caster on Corvettes. It would be about a 45-60 minute drive from OC.

When my flex plate went out I needed to find a dealer that I felt comfortable with to make the repair. I had Connell fix mine and do not have any complaints. Initially I went down to Paradise Chevrolet but the service manager told me they have done hundreds of flex plate repairs on the C7. Yeah, sure you have. Then I asked them if they had a specific tech for the C7Z and he said no, all of the techs are the same and can fix anything. Lastly, I noticed 4 C7s (2 Z06s) sitting outside with windows open waiting on parts or whatever so I took a pass on that one. Ymmv

I had a good experience with Selman Chev in OC.

Donny at Rydell. Hands down.

I have been going to Connelly Chevrolet in Costa Mesa for a decade. They did the warranty work on my C5 Z06 and my ZR1. Bought my Z/28 there along with my Z06. They have always been good to me.

see Todd at Connell, stay away from Simpsons in Irvine...like the f-ing plague.

I bought my Z from Selman...500 mile oil change and a seat recall, no issues, but Todd is a vette guy and he took good care of me when I had the C6 GS and the C7 Stingray.

FWIW I was referred to Todd by GM after a horrendous experience with Chevy Irvine (aka Simpson) after buying a brand new 3LZ Z51 in Jan 2014. They are 2 mins from my office and I wont even get an oil change there.

Donny at Rydells. You have to ask the service consultant to make an appointment with Donny.

Times two. They are most professional. My SA knows me. Knows I'm nuts about my two Corvettes and treats me well. The car is well cared for.
