Dave64 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Is there anyone in ACE with a C8 that has found a dealer that can provide good service? I need to get my horn to start horning, again😂 This is the first car I've had that I need to take to a dealer for work and all I've heard is bad, sad, horrible stories...  Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extender32 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I've had good results with Arrowhead Cadillac with my ZR1 and my Caddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave64 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks, that's where we take the wife's Cadillac. I'll have to find if they have any techs trained for the C8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave64 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Yeah, I guess I earned that😎. Besides the horn not working (except when it locks), the frunk won't open with the fob. At least, I don't have issues as some have. I guess that since it was built in the last week of production, most all bad issues had been overcome.

Talk to service writer Bill Large and make sure he understands that you are very picky Corvette owner. I believe they have one Tech who is assigned to generally work on Corvettes...

HOXXOH Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 John Sheldon is a service advisor and a Corvette owner at Gateway Chevy. It's the only GM dealer of the 6 where I've taken my cars, that always did good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They repaired the damage to the rockers at their expense, but it was still a negative experience for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsam Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 When I worked in Scottsdale I used Van and had great success. Van not only fixed my car, but fixed all the stuff another Chevy dealer in Gilbert messed up. The only thing to be weary of was the bill, make sure you have a clear understanding before the work starts. I am currently trying Freeway, first visit had some mixed emotions on the communication, technical work was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 ^^^ Yup, this is another example of what I was talking about. You had a great experience with Vans, but I had a very negative experience with Van's several years ago.    I did have great experiences with Coulter Cadillac, and recently with Arrowhead Cadillac - but there is probably some Corvette owner out there who had a negative experience with one of those dealerships...

John Sheldon is great at Gateway,  but it’s not the service advisor who does the work and not all techs are created equal. Frankly, I’ve found very few shops in Phoenix who aren’t just bolt on specialists or parts changers. If you are west Valley, I’ve heard good things about Sands Chevrolet off the 303 and have used Arrowhead based on Extender32’s recommendation.

Dave64 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Thanks for all the input. Right now, the only issue I have is that my horn doesn't work. I'll try Arrowhead Cadillac, as that's where we take Pam's Cadillac for service. We've always been happy with their work.
