Default Good dealership service department in CT/MA ?

Shopping around for a good service department in CT/MA area? Who do you guys recommend? And who should I avoid? Local Spfld dealer always seems too busy to even get a oil change done. I don't mind a hour drive for good service.

No question about that.
However if it is just an oil change you seek there are other dealers that are competent for that. I've had mine changed at Sullivan/O'Neill in Avon and Gengras Chevy. Corvette Center in Newington will also take care of it for you.

I am surprised Balise can't do it for you.

And after you get your oil changed, join the Posse on dyno day or any other ride we have.

After trying 6 places in the area for service on a C7, Davidson in Canton is who I'd go with.
I had a tragically comical experience with Oneil/Sullivans

i Too had a good experience at Davidson. I bought a New silverado 2500 there last year. Driving home one eve. with 150 miles on it the Check engine light came on, SOOO.. I brought it back.They had to change out the whole gas tank due to a valve being broke on it at install from the factory. They fixed it then for my trouble they set me up with a free service plan to 30K miles.

Thanks guys you'll see me around soon

I also have to get the recall done on the c7 also so testing the waters. I'll try Jackson. I've always did my own work on the c5. Balise is just to busy and I don't want service to be effected by that.

Paul was great! Last week he did the 500 mile oil change on my 2015 Z06. The man knows his Corvettes.

I had my Silverado serviced there last Thursday and talked to Paul and he told me about the Seminar he was having on Saturday. I showed up a little late about 75 people in attendance and it was Great. I learned a lot. I do believe it was more driven to the C5-C7 crowd but it was still good.

If you can rep 225 on bench, you can change your own oil

Nobody loves your car more than you do!!

Haha totally agree use to do it with the C5. Having a warranty makes me want to test the water and build a relationship with a service dept.
