Default Corvette check out in San Jose area?

Hi all -

I am closing in on my first Corvette, a 2 owner M6 2001 navy blue convertible w/oak interior and top with 49K miles on it. It has new tires on the chrome rims and the HUD, telescoping wheel... etc... package and I am pretty sure we locked in at 17K$ for it pend a checkout. At least that is what I am willing to pay for it at this point.

Does anyone know of a reputible place to take the car in the San Jose CA area for a really good checkout?

Also, the seats are dirty and aside from a cleaning, I was wondering if anyone knew of replacement seat "covers" that I could look into if I wanted to (or felt the need to) go this route?

Thanks in advance! - Matt

I recommend David Bonar at North Star Corvettes in Mountain View (650.969.3134) for a thorough check-out. It will take some time and $, but it would be money well spent. I wish he had seen my car before I bought it rather than after.

If you have a good relationship with the guy,great but from what Ive seen hes NOT the type of business owner I want,will do business with.Once again,you $hit on people it will come back on you.If your happy with the service this shop provides you thats all that matters.

Matt,

If your interested we would be happy to check out the car for you. We offer a detailed inspection with a Mobil 1 or AMSoil change for less than most places charge just for a oil change.

I couldn't agree more with Dawson. Dave did some extensive warranty work on my coupe years ago, and not only did he do a great job, but I got my black car back as clean as when I first brought it in.
