Default Abel Chevrolet question

4 years ago or so I had a C 5 that I sold but I had serviced at Abel Chevrolet in Rio Vista Ca. At that time they WERE the go to people for service and anything doing with corvettes. I believe there was a gentelman named Rich (I think) was working there who knew everything corvette, plus two guys I think were two Corvette certified technicians. My question is is it the same as then, and would you buy a used C6 from them.

Drive on over to Abel Chevrolet and ask for Rich. If he isn't there, ask for their best "corvette certified mechanic". Let us know what you find out.

I wouldn’t hesitate buying anything from Abel. Wait I have bought a few things from Abel.
Richie is one of the smartest guy when it comes to Corvettes. His team is hands down the best.
Abel is actually a dealership that drives what they sell.
people drive for hours to go and deal with Rich Willhoff, Derek Abel and his team.

trust a dealer that drives/races Corvettes. not one that drive a Prius. Lololol.

Team Abel Racing
