Second shout out to corvette owers in Central &SE PA about a good corvette mechanic.. Went to the Chevy dealership in Exton, PA who service shop looked up / at codes that I already new about.. I was very specific about what I needed done(and nothing else) which was the problem of two codes A6-SMC and BO-RFA that came from the vehicle's code reader.. Well I got charged 59 dollars for a diagnostic check on things I already new about and detailed this when I dropped off the car.. Said he never heard of a code A6-SCM no communication and the BO-RFA code needed several hours of checking to determine what MIGHT BE the cause.. I felt very silly that I got sucked in by this dealership and the time spent was a waste of money and their qualifications are now at issue..
