I knew David had moved, but I assumed he left all (or most) of the good techs behind. I had a bad experience at the Mt View store maybe 7 years back, so I wanted to give the Brokaw shop the benefit...

Sounds like what I will do next time. The store on Brokaw damaged my Vette today. The good news is that supposedly a check is already in the mail to get the front repainted.

America Tire- 536 E. Brokaw, San Jose

Is this the shop people in the Bay Area are still recommending? I heard that the manager moved to the Mountain View shop, so I'm not sure who people are using these days.

Thanks!

I don't trust myself to solder it myself. Is there a recommended shop that people like online? It would be really cool if one would mail one with a core charge so I could do the swap right away.

AC/Climate Control Light Failed

I know this is a fairly common issue on the C5. For a year or so the light has been dim, and now it is completely dark. What does the community think is the right way to fix this? Is there a...

Still haven't fixed this. I am pretty sure it is a loose wire in the driver's door. And when it doesn't work you hear nothing in the door.

The blue and red (Torch Red or whatever it is called now) both were as bad as you are describing. So I would guess that they are all arriving this way so far. I hope they make a running change.

Not to mention, the Z/28 time was done in the wet. Still I think the C7 is less expensive and will probably beat the Z/28, so I'd probably go with the C7 (or forthcoming Z07). That being said, the...
