Default C5 Mechanic Needed

I'm on my 3rd C5, all 3 leaked at the left diff. "O' ring. I have a new 03 six speed and i'd like to find a recomended Dealer within 100 miles of Huntsville, Alabama. We have a big dealer here ( Bill Heard ) but I just can't trust them.
There should be someone on the list that has a relationship in the B'ham area.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

stnick,

No recommendations on dealers, but whatever dealer repairs your corvette make sure they use the new part number 88996703 (new output shaft oil seal) and diff side o-ring cover seal PN#89047953. Some Dealers do not stock this seal yet, so make sure they order this seal for you before the repair!!
