Default Corvette only tech

What dealers have specific techs that are the only ones used to work on Vettes when they come in for service?

Why not go to Forum Sponsor Champion Motors? First they all love cars. Second they are super honest. Third they know Vettes inside out. Fourth they are price competitive.

If you have a GM Dealer perform this recall, unless you're hovering over a shoulder, this recall will most likely be done by a junior or apprentice tech, that may not even be a specialized corvette tech.

Exactly. I've heard of horror stories of cars coming back scratched because the tech wasn't familiar working on a vette. I know I have to go to a GM dealer for the recall.

Courtesy Chevrolet/Humberview at Queensway and East Mall has one. My car was in for a transmission/diff. oil change and the mechanic wanted to show me a few things,
Turned out he was their Corvette guy.
