You can contact your local Corvette Club and ask them the best place to have it replaced. Realistically any Corvette dealer in your area should be able to replace the battery.

As long as you're ok with a factory AC Delco replacement, any reputable Chevy dealer will be able to do it for you. Not sure what year your Stingray is, but you could also check and make sure the tiny black wire is connected to the negative terminal. The thread below elaborates on the wire.

As stated, your local Chevy dealer can do it or even an auto parts store - if the parts store has a clue how to install the battery and make sure all connections are attached and securely tightened. I would really lean towards your local dealer.

I went to my dealer for mine. I recommend you check your local dealer web sites for "Service Specials." I always get them it seems weekly in the mail too. Recently I received one for the Delco Gold battery at $199.00 plus tax. Sometimes they have it down to $179.00. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I had mine replaced at an Interstate Battery store. I called them first and they said they were familiar with the C7 battery replacement. They did an excellent job, allowed me to hang out with them while they replaced it as well. Their price was about $50 less than the dealership and I got the same warranty.

what the hell? don't go to the dealer to replace your battery unless it died under warranty. it's a ten minute job in a parking lot.

if you are physically incapable of doing it, go to any indy shop and have them do it for you. absolutely zero reason to do this at a dealership outside of warranty.

Careful for tearing the carpet and/or breaking the small, black, ground wire. If you are convinced the dealer bozos won't do either, go there. All the best.
