Can’t say enough good things about Dennis Searles Chevrolet. Kevin was awesome! -
Mileage on car when taking delivery?
If I’m not mistaken, it has to do with quality control. I think the QA process is different for randomly selected vehicles - don’t quote me on this, as I may be incorrect. My C8 had 4 kilometres when I picked it up from the dealership. -
Dexos2 0w40 nowhere to be found!
Rockauto has 0-40 Mobil 1 Supercar in stock for $11.45. I’ve ordered from them many times, never had a problem. You have to look under 2022, 2023 doesn’t populate yet. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,2022,corvette,6.2l+v8,3449767,engine,oil,12138 -
Brand new Stingray with non functioning air conditioning?
Picked up my car on Tuesday. The dealership replaced the belt with an aftermarket one, since the original part is on back order. Thankfully, the air conditioning is now working flawlessly. Looks like a defective belt, or it was incorrectly installed at the factory. I have to return once the... -
Brand new Stingray with non functioning air conditioning?
I was thinking along the same lines. That’s why I didn’t go to my local Chevy dealer in the suburbs, about an hour outside Toronto. I brought it to high volume Corvette dealer, that should have plenty of experience. There must be a reason why the belt is coming off, I’m hoping they can figure it... -
Brand new Stingray with non functioning air conditioning?
Picked up my C8 this morning from the dealership. Apparently, the A/C belt had come off. They put it back on and ordered a new one (back ordered item). On my way home the A/C stopped working again. It’s disappointing, bringing the C8 back in on Monday. -
Extended warranty yes or no?
There are a number of variables to consider. I purchased a brand new Laramie Limited RAM in 2015 (ecodiesel). Thank goodness I opted for the extended warranty lol. Repair bills in the extended warranty period alone, were over 30k. I didn’t have to pay a dime, not even a deductible. I remember... -
Brand new Stingray with non functioning air conditioning?
I had a service appointment scheduled for last Friday, at a dealership in the GTA. When I arrived at 9 AM, I was told by the service advisor that I’d be lucky if the car made it in before 2 or 3 in the afternoon and diagnosis potentially, wouldn’t be complete by the end of the day. Unwilling to... -
Brand new Stingray with non functioning air conditioning?
Thanks for the reply! I usually have the A/C set to 22C in my other vehicles. I did the same in the Stingray yesterday and gradually worked down to LO (to see if there'd be any change) - degree by degree. The warm air temperature remained the same at any setting. -
Brand new Stingray with non functioning air conditioning?
Hey Everyone, The warm weather is finally here in Toronto! Long story short, I went for a drive in my C8 Stingray yesterday afternoon and decided to turn on the air conditioning for the very first time. To my surprise, it was not functioning. Even set to "LO", the air coming out the vents was... -
NON Z51 Low Profile Rear Spoiler / Front Splitter Question
The low profile spoiler is installed at the factory, even for non Z51 corvettes. Only the front splitter will be installed during PDI at the dealership. This I for non Z51 corvettes as well (I own one). -
NON Z51 Low Profile Rear Spoiler / Front Splitter Question
It will be installed at the factory. Only the front splitter is put on during PDI at the dealership. I also ordered the low profile spoiler and front splitter - it came off the truck with the low profile spoiler installed. -
Small town dealerships rock! (sometimes)
Basically, they aim to prevent any resellers/flippers from purchasing their Corvette's. From my understanding, they'd rather hold a small list (no more than 10) than a massive one and give false hope about waiting times. For a dealership that has a maximum space of about 6 cars in their... -
Small town dealerships rock! (sometimes)
That's awesome! Beautiful car! -
Small town dealerships rock! (sometimes)
Nice! I also kept conversation short - It takes persistence and a bit of luck to find the right dealership. But, they are out there!
