Default South Orange County (CA) dealership recommendations?

I have to bring in the Vette for battery issues, but want to find a strong dealership to bond with for future maintenance or repairs as needed.
Any recommendations from others in S. Orange County area for a non-ripoff, solid dealership I can count on?

No first-hand experience, but I have heard many favorable comments (from Corvette owners whose opinions I value and trust) about Connell Chevrolet in Costa Mesa.

Have you thought of asking this question in the SoCal forum?

I have been going to Selmon's Chevrolet in Orange, CA. They have provided service (warranty work) for both of my corvettes since 2005 and I have had very good results with them. Ask for Rich, he will take care of you.

Selmon's is located off Chapman Ave.
From S.OC: take Santiago Canyon Rd (nice canyon ride) turns into Chapman and then a couple of miles past the 55 frwy they are on the left.

When I lived in Orange County, I took mine to Connell. Very pleased.

I just dropped mine of at Wesloh & Sons in San Juan for the roof recall, differential TSB and NAV flash. They did my sending unit card replacement about a year ago. I will report back when I get the car back either this afternoon or tomorrow.

Wesloh did the differential TSB and it seems OK so far. The roof need's to be replaced. They have one in stock and will have it painted and call me to bring it back. I really did not want a new one as I'm worried about the paint match. (Mag Red)

Power Chevrolet in Irvine did a nice job on my Z-51 today. The battery had failed so they replaced it, and also checked the brakes squealing, which of course was explained as "normal".
However, the service guy Phil was very professional and responsive so no complaints and I'd go back again for other dealer related issues.

I went through 4 dealerships and Connell is the best by far. I come from LA county to get my service and warranty work done there.
