Default Recommended Service?

All right that is it? After trying all the services around I m giving up. Why do I have to go to service to have the same stuff repaired couple of times. I am very dissappointed with Jennings Chevrolet, they seem like a top notch service since they are charging accordingly but results :bs.

If you know any service you can recommend around Evanston, Chicago I will be very very grateful.
Thanks :cry

Clues? Year..warranty coverage? If so start with Chevy Cust relations, it can't hurt to let them know what one of the franchisees is up to.

Other than that if it's not warranty I believe that there is a non dealer up that way that Johnnyvettes recommends, I don't know the name myself.

If you can't find a dealer up there, I highly recommend Ogden Chevy in Westmont. Ask for Jason Smith one of the best wrenchs around.
Good Luck.

Like Stilcrazee said, I've heard good things about Ogden Chevy, but I've had no direct experience with them. Since you have a 2000 you may be out of warranty. In any case, the other option he mentioned is HP Corvettes in Mundelien. They're the best. I think their website is being updated , but you can call Kevin or Craig at 847-949-8388. I've bought a few cars from Jennings, and while they're OK for most service, Chevy dealers in general are not known for the TLC and attention to detail that Vette owners expect.

Just out of curiosity what problem(s) were repaired or re-repaired?

I can vouch for Jason Smith, I see him on a daily basis and he truly takes pride in his work.

Noise from steering wheel they changed the coil 4 times, I had bought a glass top from them, I made the biggest mistake it either makes a sound or leaks water & some more. I can say that Jennings is greatly overrated. I am very very dissappointed with the service.
