I love these dealers with their specialists.

"Hey, Jake, yo, dude, you sold more Silverados last week than anyone else! Congrats, you are this month's Corvette specialist."

Where do you get your car serviced? Any do's or don'ts I need to know about?
I have had satisfactory warranty work performed by Hendrick. Like any dealership, really, it's a crap-shoot as to which technician you get and how well they do. Honestly, I've had no issue with them, except for one return when I had a leaking battery replaced on a truck, and I took it back and made them clean up and repaint the areas that were damaged by the acid. Since Cary is a big Corvette store, I figure my odds are pretty good that I'll get a tech who has some experience working on a Corvette.

Cool, thanks for the info. When mine comes in, I'll give you a shout and we'll meet up for some beers and BS.
