Default Calling all Chicagoland Corvettes...

I am coming up on 20,000 miles... I am concerned to bring my car to the dealer for regular maintenance check ups.... Where do u guys bring your corvettes for xxx,xxx miles check ups...Plus the fact i no longer have warrenty on my car.

What exactly does the dealer do on there "scheduled maintenance" check ups... Can I do these my self at home?

I hear of all these horror stories of broken rocker pannels ect ect...

I change my own oil every 3,000 miles or so...

:seeya :seeya :seeya :cheers:

Jason Smith of Team Chevy in Westmont is the unanimous choice around here for best Chicagoland GM tech, who also happens to enjoy, works on and installs a ton of performance mods on C5s! :yesnod: For your needs for routine maintenance on your C5 you are in great hands with Jason or any other qualified vette tech at TEAM CHEVY!
