Just has mine done at my SW Florida dealer. The oil change, 8 quarts and filter was about $150 and tire rotation side to side was $25. I used my points and a GM coupon so all in was a little over $100. I did have to convince them to do the tire rotation since they were not aware that it is in the maintenance manual. I also asked about the upcoming trans fluid and filter cost and told about $2500 which was a surprise.

Time for a different dealer...

Mine did the 3 year DCT fluid change, DCT external filter/Hydraulic flush and engine oil/filter change with me buying/supplying all parts & fluids. The total cost for everything (dealer labor charges and my supplied parts) was $800 and change.

Did you verify the oil brand and viscosity? The filter and plug gaskets? Have you properly checked the oil after?

If they know what they're doing, and using proper parts/fluids you get a smokin deal!

Which dealer is this if you don't mind me asking. 150 bucks isn't bad at all for an oil change on a C8.

Very easy to do yourself. I back up my Corvette on race ramps and it takes no time + I enjoy doing it myself. Cost for oil and filter is about $85.00

Same materials and oil that the dealer uses, other than the Supercar oil all the rest with the correct GM part numbers and packaging.

Next year I'll be having the second DCT fluid change done (6 years) along with an engine oil/filter replacement too. The DCT filter won't be changed during the visit as anticipated mileage will only be +/- 15K miles. I'll purchase and supply all materials this time too.
