Default Dealer recomendation request for Emissions Recall

Any recommendations for a good dealer service center to perform the catalytic converter recall on my 2008? I live in Huntington Beach, but have never taken my Vette to a dealer for service.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

I had Irvine Chevy do the reflash on my early build '09, but I had to bring in the TSB to educate them on the subject. I had more confidence in Connell Chevrolet in Costa Mesa for regular service like oil changes, etc.

Rydell Chevy in Northridge has master Corvette tech Donny Yorke.

I took mine to Connell for the recall of Catalytic Converters, computer reflash and Headlight wiring and they had it done in a few hours. I did call ahead though to the service dept and they checked the VIN and ordered the needed parts, once the parts were in they called me to arrange a day to come in and it was all good.

I had mine done a Connell also. They had the parts in stock and took care of it quickly. Max has taken great care of me... All service writers are not created equally.

Definitely avoid Delillo in HB. I used them for years and always put up with the fact that it took them at least three return trips to get anything fixed. The last straw was when they tried to get my warranty voided. I had to fight with GM for a month to get it reinstated.

The sequencing of my top stopped working and I had my car into Delillo about 10 times to get it fixed. They were never able to fix it. They got tired of trying so they had GM void my warranty by telling them that my roof was removed from the car when my removable roll bar was installed. I had to fight with GM for a month to get them to reinstate my warranty. I finally got GM to call the shop who installed the roll bar who confirmed that the roof was never removed. GM had me work with Max at Connell Chevrolet and they had the car fixed the same day. I have been bringing my Corvette and Suburban back to them ever since and they have always fixed them right, the first time.

I'm about 3 miles to De Lillo, I have to go along with Charley. It seems they can't get much of anything fixed the first time. I could write a book... Blah Blaw..
