Vette Doctors Saved The Day!

While at Carlisle with my 2002 Corvette Z06 I encountered then infamous "Service Column Lock". Well nothing seemed to help, I was 6 hours away from home, with a car that wouldn't move. Remembering that some of the top tuners were at the show I decided to see if they could help. I walked up to the Vette Doctors location and Carmen said he could help. He walked up hill, with his equipment and tuned out whatever was needed to get the car drivable (since the column was not locked). No more then five minutes later my car was drivable !!! Carmen would not take any compensation for his work and just needed a drive back to his tent. TOP NOTCH GUY

After a night of sleep my Z06 no longer has the Service Column Lock issue so I can make it home safe.

Seeing how quick he was to help showed me allot about the Vette Doctors, THEY ROCK

On the 2 C5's that I've owned, a CLB was the first mod! Cheap insurance if you ask me!

Honestly I would tell you if the knew the details. Sounds like he tuned out the fuel cutout ? I really don't know, maybe he can jump in once he gets back to NY and let us know.
