Need a mechanic? Abel is able!
Bought a 2007, C6 on Easter 2014. I received a safety recall on the car in January 2015. I called Dublin Chevrolet (Dublin, CA)--local dealer for me. I was transferred to the person that processes recalls. Ring, no answer. Left a voice mail. Waited over a week. No callback. I called them back. Same exact result. I decided if they cared that much about safety recalls, I did not want them working on my car. I searched the forum and read several recommendations for Abel Chevrolet in Rio Vista. Thanks forum! I drove my Vette 50 miles to have them service the recall and to work on some others needs. When I bought this car, it came with a rattling, clunking noise that annoyed the heck out of me. I took it to my local mechanic. No success. He checked the suspension and the whole undercarriage. I lived with this for year. Able is able! They figured it out the first morning they had my car. They were friendly. They listened. They discounted parts just because I was a Vette owner. I can't recommend them enough.

I went to one of their yearly car show they have and I was impressed. I had a Camaro at the time and wasn't treated any differently than the Corvette guys. Great friendly staff that knows the importance of good customer service.
What did they identify the rear noise was?

It's always good to hear about a competent service dept. Happy to hear your baby is fixed.
And yep, we need to know about the noise, what it sounded like and the fix. Never know when that information may come in handy for someone.

Abel rocks!!
I also bought my Vette from Dublin Chevrolet, but there's too many horror stories from that place.
Abel is the #1 Chevy dealership in NorCal when it comes to service. Rich and the gang will take good care of you.

Abel
Abel is the best. Besides, Dublin lost one of our members C6Zs waiting for heads. They made the owner's insurance pay for the loss..
I've had tons of "High end" work done on my Z by Abel and all was perfect...
