Default Greenville, SC

Just acquired a 2006 and learned that the largest Chevrolet dealer in Greenville, Kevin Whitaker, will not service any Vettes over 10 years old. So I am searching for a qualified mechanic in the area. I also, would appreciate suggestions on anyone local doing caliper and bracket powder coating. TIA

I'm wondering how a Chevy DEALER can get away with refusing to service chevy products.

He won't allow his body shop to touch one older than 10 years either.

If you don't mind a little drive go to City Chevrolet in Charlotte. Rick Hendrick's original dealership has a couple of Corvette tech's on staff and supports the Queen City Corvette club. I know they serviced a friends '65 and '12 GS, and a C8 of mine.

I appreciate the offer, but I don't want to add that many miles and besides I-85 between the two is an accident prone interstate with a lot of construction zones.

Default Core swap caliper & brackets

Anyone use TPS motorsports for swapping my caliper & brackets for a set of powder coated ones?
