Default Need dealer recommendation for Magnetic Ride Control update in Atlanta

I've been calling around to local dealers and not getting a good vibe. Several service writers do not know what I'm talking about, want my "error message", don't call back, want the car dropped off for a full day, etc.

Has anyone had this done and can recommend a performance/Vette oriented dealer in the Atlanta area?

Multiple threads on this subject, to include a couple with location data. Search is your friend here...

In the interim, you may want to vist the Chevy Performance web pages, there are actual certified Chevy Performance Dealers listed.

Good luck...it’s well worth the investment

I only go to Jim Ellis Chevrolet in Chamblee for service... Corvette guy there has worked on my C6 Z06 and now C7 Z06. Call Vladimir in service there and see if he can help you out.

I think you're wasting your time calling around. Just make an appointment for service at your favorite Chev. dealer, and take it in. I promise if it's a Chevrolet dealership, they'll figure it out whence your car is there.

On page 3 it says, "Installation of the calibration will be done at no cost to you at your local GM dealer". Where does the $350 charge come in to play?

Thanks for the feedback. I wish it worked this way. My past dealership experience indicates otherwise.

I'd like to maximize my odds by going somewhere confirmed to have done this to the owner's satisfaction. It should take about an hour to load/program. I don't mind a drive to get it done right. I just concluded a four month adventure with DSC Sport and am not interested in leaving the car and having the dealership, hopefully, figure things out.

Think of it as a part, as that is basically how it is being sold. The $350 is for the "part" (i.e. the calibration), and the labor for the installation of the "part" is being done at no cost to you.
