Calling is apparently really important. Last fall, when I was shopping prices right before the '13 Corvette ordering deadline, I sent multiple e-mails to Kerbeck, MacMulkin, and Coughlin (in Ohio). Neither Kerbeck nor MacMulkin ever returned any of my e-mails...and I also tried using the "contact us" functions on their own websites. I did get an immediate response from Coughlin, though. My point is, if you call them, then there can be no misunderstandings...

Good luck.

Dave Salvatore and Dave Brown at Kerbeck are exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyed my dealings with them an the dealership.

I just returned from a nice trip to Savannah. While there Hendrick chevy advertised heavily on the radio. The wording on one was "buy a Silverado and get a Cruze free". That would be enough for me.

Does anyone here know anything about the dealership? Good guys? Knowledgeable sales guys? Service guys?

Thanks in advance!
I don't know where this thread has gone because I did not read through it but first are you talking about the dealership off of Satellite Blvd? That's in Duluth... anyway We've purchased two 2007 Corvettes (Coupe and Vert) and a 2009 Coupe from this dealership, they are great people. We got good pricing and the service section is amazing. They changed the motor in my 2007 Coupe after it blew up under warranty and a few other minor problems that I have run into.

I started out asking about the one in Buford b/c I assumed they have a larger selection. But, I admit I haven't visited the one in Duluth. You are the 2nd or 3rd person to give them good reviews. I have been especially interested in people's comments on how good their service department is.

Thanks for the feedback!!

Would you recommend a specific salesperson? Any preference?

Unfortunately the sales guy we used, Allen (can not think of his last name at the moment) is not there anymore and he sold us all three Corvettes. They do have a new "Corvette" salesman but I have no idea what his name is. I test drove the ZL1 Camaro there with him and he seems like a nice guy and has the normal car salesman persistency.

How 'bout buy a Siverado, and get a C7 for free.

Seriously, do you think that they would be giving the better part of a $20K discount on a pick up truck???!!! Don't walk......RUN!!!

IF that truly is the case, they have their Silverados marked up over MSRP with "additional Dealer profit".

Dave is really great to deal with

Just a note regarding forum dealers:

When the C6 Z06 came out there were problems with one forum dealer (now gone). As a result of the controversy, the rules regarding problems with forum dealers changed.
