Don Mealey in Clermont if you don't mind 1.5 hour drive each way. They are a high volume corvette dealer. I had the DCT filter changed there last week. They wanted around $1450 to do filter and fluid.

I have two residences. I just had my engine oil changed at 6,000 miles at Auto Nation in Pembroke Pines for $229. They said transmission filter and flush would be $900. I bought my car at Don Mealy and I think they're crooks and won't use them for anything.

Make sure it's a "Corvette Certified" dealership

What did you experience that makes you feel they are crooks?

The following link is Chevrolet's list of of Corvette Certified dealers. After you put in your zip/location click on the filter tab and select "Corvette Certified". You'll get a list of nearby qualified dealerships.

I'm near Atlanta. Last week I paid just over $1400.00 for my required 3 year transmission drain and refill and DCT filter on my 23 Stingray with 17,000miles.
I just can't see new fluid with an old filter..
Took it in at 8:30 picked it up at 2:30. Nice work reasonably quick. They reset the tranny and DCT filter monitors. The tech also performed a test drive.
Can't point out anything specific that seems different about my tranny, but somehow now with new fluid, it does feel just a little bit better.
Before the service, on rare occasions i would encounter the odd downshift clunk, so far after the service, nothing but smooth quick sure up and downshifts.
That DCT is quite a transmission!

GM must have allowed 2 years on 23's because my car didn't get the 7500 free service until my Stingray was 16 months old.
