Default RichieRich and Able Chevy

I had my car worked on recently at RichieRich's new dealership Able Chevy. I wholeheartedly rec them. No B.S, No monkey prints on the car and everyone there seems to work well together and are very welcoming. If you are at all on the fence about this place dont be. Richie, and the crew are great. Give em a try--I think you will find it worth the drive.

That is because Richie usually talks to the tech personally and telling them to treat you right. It goes a long way when the tech knows someone is watching over him.

I think when a vette pulls in they automatically know Richie is connected somehow somewhere

Our Corvette business is booming thanks to all your loyal guys and gals. The techs like the Corvettes and are starting to enjoy not working on mainly trucks.

Our service manager (John) has had nothing but great things to say about all of my customers and enjoys the Corvette crowd a lot.

We are going to be throwing a Welcoming BBQ and Corvette Customer Appreciation Day at the end of May. It will be completely free and just a way for all of you to meet a couple of the Corvette techs, the Abel family and to let us say thanks for making the move right along with me. I will post up all the details as soon as we iron it all out a little. I was challenged to get 100 Corvettes here, so help me make it happen.

Just bought my first Corvette, a '99 coupe. Hope I can find a way to make the 45 drive to Able for service. I have a boat in Isleton so am very familiar with the area. Rich, if you are looking for a great place for a cocktail after work, try The Point at the Delta Marina.

Will do. Thanks for the heads up. After a long day in the car business, a stiff drink is just what the doctor ordered sometimes.

Feel free to come on by and introduce yourself any time.

Just bought a 2007 Trailblazer SS this weekend from Able. This was one of more enjoyable purchases we have made recently. I have gotten to the point I avoid most of the dealerships in our area, as they pass you from one sales person to another and then the closer and then someone else.

By the time we left on Monday night I felt like I knew everyone in the place and had a great talk with the owner about when we both use to race. It's only been two days and they have already followed up with a couple of calls asking if we had any questions, etc.

Great place and we all know that Rich will take care of us when it comes to parts and service.

Larry

I think most of us that goes to Richie are driving between 1-2 hours. Just wish Richie was closer.

Richie....

My 08 has a lot of rear-end chatter. How long does it take to do the fluid w/additive change? Something I can wait around for? Maybe watch?

It'll be a drive up there...

It is no biggie. I can get you in and out in about an hour or so. The new fluid has the additive in it so it is not added anymore. We stock the fluid and can do it anytime. Call or PM me to set it up.

Haha, I did not know you were posting up on the forum while waiting. Your car got many compliments while you were here. The CCW's look sick. I am glad we could knock out that tail light issue at the same time.

I liked Fairfield/Richie combo but I think the Able/Richie combo is even better.

We were not gonna let you drive around with that Courtesy plate on there. You have more style then that. Derek Abel told me that I better take care of that before you left.
