Default Best dealer in the southwest suburbs of Chicago for warranty, oil changes?

Hi,
i plan on doing most of the maintenance myself other than the 1st oil change since it’s free and warranty work.

What is is the best dealer with Corvette experienced techs in the Chicago area that people recommend? Preferably southwest suburbs.

Thanks

I've had a few things done at Bill Kay Chevrolet in Downers Grove and I've been happy with their work.

I went to Advantage Chevrolet in Bolingbrook once and I will go back to Bill Kay instead.

I would not trust Bill Kay. Helped a friend find a used Corvette there. They agreed to a price on the car. The friend returned the next day, paid with cashiers check, and took the car home. Three weeks later, I see the friend and he shows me the car. Bill kay swapped out the new tires that I saw on the car for ones that were 6 years old. I had no way to prove it. But it is one thing I checked as he was buying a 5 year old car. I checked the date codes before he made the deal. Do not buy anything from them.

If you don't mind taking a nice drive, you can't beat Kevin Paddock, the Vette Tech at Libertyville Chevrolet. They have their own high performance shop for any mod work that they will keep under the OEM warranty. Kevin's the only guy I let touch my car.

Agree with the negative comments about Bill Kay. They treated me shabbily on a C-3 convertible I was looking to purchase a couple years ago. Went to Buyavette instead.

My vote as well for Libertyville Chevrolet. They just finished my frame on restoration on my 72. Could not be more happier with them!!
