Default Best corvette centric service department around Brighton, MI?

Hey guys, I've got my car at Shaheen chevy for some work and while they are nice and all, they are not that communicative and they take a long time to answer and you have to ask multiple times to get answers. I'm sure they do good work but I want to be more in the loop. It's just average service and an hour drive.

Any dealers in the Lansing / Detroit area that excel in this regard? Maybe I need a dedicated corvette shop, can they do warranty work? Id prefer one that knows how to align for rear caster.

it's a little bit of distance, but I would highly recommended Les Stanford in Dearborn. They are one of the top Corvette dealers in the nation , and also do great service on Corvettes. Very knowledgeable.

Hello Spinkick,

We at Les Stanford have one of only a few drive on computer alignment racks. This allows us to rack any car, no matter how radically altered it may be . We also have the most technicians to service your Corvette. If this is a warranty job, call 313-724-1454 and ask for Mike MacDonald. We offer free loaner's if the car is needed to be kept.

Dennis! Thanks for the reply. Are you guys open on the weekend and can you check if you have the right tools to do *rear caster alignment*.

Not all dealers have these tools, it's not built into the hunter electronic alignment machines that the dealers have.

Also, aren't you guys closed on Saturdays? Does that include service? It's tough to get over to that side of town during the week, working.

Thanks!

Dennis probably has to get back to customers, but a quik look by you on their website would discover http://www.lesstanfordchevrolet.com/HoursAndDirections

no, closed sat. and sun. Still, Mike MacDonald is great and so are the Corv. techs at LS. What can you do if nothing great is nearby?

Via the magic of Google Maps driving directions, Dearborn is actually a bit closer to Brighton than is west Lansing, I believe . . . .

Default Suburban in Ann Arbor

I've been happy with the care of my 2015 Z (purchased there) and the previous C6 that I had (purchased elsewhere).
Les Stanford is certainly bigger; but farther away from Brighton.
FWIW

From my experience they are open on Saturday's but only for oil changes. You have to pull up to the Cadillac service door.
