Courtesy Chevrolet Sold
I heard that California Superstores sold their interest in Courtesy Chevrolet to Momentum Auto Group.
I wonder if anything will change.

I hope the personalized, caring low-pressure experience we get from the sales guys, along with the highly skilled, efficient, high-value service department doesn't get impacted by the new ownership.
Oh, wait, Courtesy...

I have been a basher of Courtesy in the past. I purchased my 08 from them and got a great deal. New in Dec. of 07 for $39,000. 1LT.
I must respond here though and give a shout out to the parts guy ( name already forgotten )
I purchased a new set of wiper blades and lost my credit card after. I called back to the dealership and the parts guy took a walk outside to the parking lot and looking under the parked cars found my card.
Must of come out of my pocket when I reached for my keys. I was not in the Vette.
Anyway this was above and beyond what I have come to expect. It will not get me back to them for service but it was a very nice and welcome response from a caring employee. ( the fellow is the bigger guy in the parts dept.

Courtesy was one of the first places I stopped by to look into C7's before I ordered one, never even made it through the front door after dealing with the arrogance of the sales guys standing out front.

I remember when the 84s came out, they were advertising one of the first C4s for 100,000. I did purchase my 08Z from them and got a very good deal.

I guess in this area somebody will bite.
I purchased my 08 from them too and also received what I thought was a fair deal.
After that though I went a used smaller speed shops for my maintance.
We are lucky to have some good shops in the Bay Area.

Confirmed, I just received an email announcing the name change and "Grand Opening Sale". The Courtesy name was well known especially for their large inventory of cars and parts. IMO, it was a bad move to give up their name recognition. Name changes are risky business.

I set up a "courtesy" delivery from them while they were still Courtesy Chevrolet and so far they've seemed to work with Les Stanford, so I don't have anything bad to say about Momentum. I figure as I get closer to delivery, I will go down and meet the guys.
Will post how the experience goes when the time comes.

Never bought a car from Courtesy and never had them do work. But I just have long memories of them being at the corner of Winchester and Stevens Creek Blvd since I began living near there in 1960
And now that location is Santana Row
