Talk to RichieRichZ06 on this forum. PM him.

He is at Fairfield Chevy. He can set you up with the service depatment and they are Good with Vettes.

Well worth the drive. They will take care of you.

They did my Roof Recall and the BCM Reflash for DBS.

I havnt heard all that great of things from other service departments, others may have closer suggestions, but I know what I'm getting with Rich and Fairfield Chevy.

Yup, Rich is in Parts, but is a manger in that department and can get you set up with the service department ASAP. They have good working relationships at Fairfield between parts and service and all employees.

He lets service know that you need an apointment. I guess you could just call service but thats not as fun as working with a great forum member.

I PM'd him that I needed to do my roof recall and let him know the day that I needed and he let the Body Shop know and set up the appointment for me. They ordered the Foam and had it all ready for me. Roof recall was done in 90 minutes. Never spoke on the phone for that appointment, only on Pm's in the forum.

Just drop a PM to Rich or call up to Fairfield Chevy and ask for Rich in Parts. He will let you know what you need to do.
If you need parts too, Rich can get what you need for a great price.

They are First Class up there and I wouldnt go anywhere else!
I recommend them to everyone that asks for a good place for parts and service.

Should you want to go for a drive, come up to sacto. and see John Harrison at performance chev. 916 338 7331. He dose all my work.
Noise in the rear-end could be the limited slip chatter, I have it and will have them change the fluid on my regular service.

Courtesy managers treat me like sh|t because I didn't roll in wearing a suit and tie. a$$h0les were hella rude and accused me of voiding the whole warranty before they even knew anything about my car. I originally went in to have an O2 code reset (just installed headers). They told me it needed an appointment and to be sent to the shop to have it reset. Ooooookkkkkk.

If you're south in the bay area, head to Moore Pontiac. Excellent service, ask for Art. Been going there for 5 years now. Treat you and your car with great respect. Only place I'll take my car. Coworker brings his 01 SS Camaro in there, too.
