Default C6 Service Technicians

When you have your C6 in for service do you always ask for the same tech or do you even have this option ? I have the option for demanding the senior C6 tech even though there are some junior techs with experience. Just wondered what everyone else is doing or if they just take a chance that somebody that knows something will be working on their vehicle.

Only have 1 Corvette Tech at my dealer's. He's been there over 10 years. He performed the maintenance on my C4, and now, on my C6.

There is a world of difference. Some work on more than others. Practice makes perfect. Some treat the car like their own, some treat it like a Cavalier. The first time I took my C6 in, I asked for the technician that worked on my C5. He got it right every time. He even calls me to make sure that he is diagnosing the right symptom. In addition, I drive a distance to make sure that a high volume Corvette dealership deals with it.

I get whichever mechanic was sober enough to show up to work the day I bring it in.

For my C5 I always get the same tech. The service writer knows only Ed touches my Vette.
He is one of 100 5 star techs in the country!
