Moving to TN
I'm in the process of buying a home in E. TN (Kingsport area) and looking for recommendations on Corvette clubs and reliable/trustworthy Corvette shops and Chevy dealers. I grew up in OH, but have spent the last 35 years in Southern CA (it's where the job took me), but now looking at retirement and I'm ready to get out. Since the COVID hit, it's been a nightmare living out here. I have some friends who enticed me to look in TN and I liked what I saw - the area and especially the people are really nice and reflect my all-American values.

I'm about 50 from Kingsport Don't know much about the dealerships there but there's one in Kingsport on east Stone Dr There's a Chevy dealership in Bristol about 20 miles from there that hosts a Corvette show each summer Hillbilly Corvette is not far outside of Kingsport.

I used to live in that area, but I'm in Knoxville now. Reeder chevrolet in Knoxville seems to be the go to dealer and is the meeting place for the east TN corvette club. A forum member named sharkbit has a shop that can take care of your needs in Kingsport.

Welcome to East Tennessee brother. You'll love it here. I've lived here over 25 years. The county I live in is a "2nd Amendment Sanctuary" County. That's how most of East Tennessee rolls.
