C1 of Year Finalist (stock) 2019
2015 C1 of Year Finalist
Default Service

I purchased my C-8 from MM in November, so I don't have a local dealer that I have a connection with.

I live in Orange Co. California, I would like to know if anyone has a recommendation for a dealer that you like for service.

Thanks

Rydell in Northridge is top notch….maybe a bit far for you but they have done 3 oil changes, DCT track fill, 2 DCT filters, install my ATAK and Giro Discs/Z26 without any issues. Next week they will be doing the full DCT flush and add my Attack Blue filter. They have 6 trained C8 mechanics and a C8 Master Mechanic (Donny) who is a perfectionist.

Rydell is also the largest dealer for Corvettes on the West Coast. I purchased my C8 from them.

Sounds like a very good endorsement for that dealer.

I agree with @SoCal C8 . I also have Rydell do all my work, including standard services, DCT track fill, installing a Borla exhaust and lowering the the car. Excellent service every time. They would be a long drive for @53Gary66 but worth keeping in mind if you don't find a highly recommended service department closer.

I have used "Premier Chev" (formerly Weseloh) in Car Country Carlsbad for.... 4 Corvettes. I have been pleased. Ask for Don Olsen.
