Default C6 down - need help

My C6 has been to this dealership in Las Vegas a 4 times for the same problem. The last repair was a throttle body replacement due to the error codes they stated. They changed the throttle body and it's the same problem. I don't have confidence that these people know what they are doing.

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in Las Vegas - PM me or post.

I'm hoping to start driving my car again and be active in this forum.

Thanks in advance.

Check in the southwest section, I believe a member by the name of K.I.T.T lives up there and if I recall does mechanic work.
Good luck.

I've always been a firm believer of posting issues here before ever bringing a car to a dealer.

Good Luck getting it sorted.

Stored codes would also be of benefit. I'm assuming they changed out the throttle body due to a code for the throttle positioning sensor causing an error, and the super fun reduced power mode! There are actually two sensors that could throw that particular code, with the more probable culprit being the one on the gas pedal. Find out as much as you can, search the forums and then if you can't find an answer, ask! There's a wealth of knowledge here!
