Default Air Conditioning Compressor

I have 2014 Z51 Stingray. 69000 miles. A/C compressor goes bad. I have an extended warranty so I’m covered for a replacement
BUT, my Chevrolet dealer tells me there are none to be found! It is now on back order and there is no indication when one will be available. Looking for any help in locating one.
Thanks!

Might try calling

I needed a part for my C5 that the Corvette shop and dealers said was unavailable anywhere. Found SMC Performance on web search . They had part in stock ! Part was NOS. Corvette shop couldn’t believe I found part. I had part less than 12 hours later. They carry parts for Corvettes C5, C6, C7 and Cadillac XLR . Might be worth giving them a call. There company name came up when I did a google search of GM part number. Might get GM part number for compresser and do google search of that number and see what comes up. I remember this company was like 12 pages into google search. I was determined to find part as you can tell by searching so deep into pages.

My repair was a Extended Warranty coverage repair. Shop just took my receipt and submitted to warranty company and I was reimbursed for cost of part. Hope this helps! Dave

Borntorun - that is good info to know. I had not heard of that vendor and usually do not go that deep into a Google search. Thanks.
