Does anyone know if there are Corvette parts available during the GM strike?
If so, where & who can I contact? (looking for a fuel door actuator '16)
Thanks!!
There was another thread where a forum member said he could not get a part because of the strike. However, dealer inventories are not affected other than once they're gone, that's it until the strike is over. Hope this helps.
I am in the unfortunate position of having my Z06 in the shop waiting for a headlamp assembly and 3 or 4 smaller parts, for the last two weeks or so. The body shop owner says his parts guy has tried everywhere, but as soon as I get the part numbers from him, I'm going hunting myself. It's very frustrating.
Might try SMC Performance . I needed a part for my 04 when at Corvette shop. Dealers and Corvette shop couldn’t locate part out of stock not in production. I searched web with part # and found this company. They had 10 NOS. Part was at Corvette shop following day.

I am the used car manager/Corvette manager at a Chevy dealership. One of our customers had a fender bender with his 2017 Corvette and we waited 2 months for a right side headlamp for it. No dealerships in the country had one in stock. The customer was so pissed off when he was at Corvettes@Carlisle he was telling one of the GM engineers about it. They took his name & number and called him the following week and put him in touch with someone in upper management for parts. They got him one shipped direct from the Corvette plant.
GM... always putting its loyal customers first, no matter what. Hardly a new complaint, but I'm truly sorry for everyone on some micky-mouse wait or back-order list.
