No, I'm fortunate to have a great dealer service dept nearby for routine oil changes, alignments or warranty work. The only maintenance I do other than monitoring fluids is the ranger method clutch fluid procedure with each oil change, air filter, cabin filter and adjust tire pressure as needed.

I do all of my own maintainence. Oil and filter change, replacing engine coolant and replacing end links. My C6 needed a new oil pan gasket, and there is no way I could have done that myself.

I jack the car and put it on Rhino ramps. Its too low to get onto the ramps otherwise and to ensure the cars sits level you gotta jack the rear anyway. Its a tight squeeze getting under the car using the ramps.
