Default I need some advice.

I have a 2006 Corvette and it's due for service but I have been unhappy with the dealership and my local guy is way too busy. Does anyone from Oregon ( Portland Metro area ) have any recommendations?
Thanks so much,
Lynn

Much of the work, especially maintenance, doesn't require a corvette "expert"

Research online for a reputable repair shop in your area....if you can trust reviews

Find a local vette car club and ask members who they suggest.

Suggest an email to a Portland OR Corvette Club.
A search turned 3, this is one: Rose City Corvettes - Home

CCs will steer you in right direction.

Due for what kind of service? Local guy way too busy? Can't you make an appointment ? Most routine service can wait a few days.

Could you please tell me what and how to contact a regional forum? I have sent emails to the 2 Corvette clubs in my area with no response ( Again) I have tried before. It seems as if there is no help in Portland.
