This past week (April 2026) I had my three year DCT service done at a Langley BC Chevy dealer. I have a 2023 Stingray HTC with 35350 km. So the three year service included complete replacement of the DCT fluid (11 litres of tranny fluid) and a new DCT canister filter. Itemized, the fluid exchange was $999.95 plus tax while the new canister replacement was $972.75 plus tax. Just curious how this cost compares with the same three year DCT service for other C8 Stingray owners!
2026 Cost of Three Year DCT Service

thank you for actually driving your vette
Can you break it down to parts and labour for us please. All Dealerships are different with pricing...
Almost $2000.00 for the 1st big TX service.
You should have looked at a maintenance Package from Don Le at Georgetown Chevrolet..
I got 7 years or 80,000 kms for $3221.00. ( Ends at 89,722 kms. )
Essential care covers all:
Transmission oil and filter changes
Cabin and air filters
All engine oil and filter changes.
Engine coolant, drain, flush and fill.
2 transmission filter and fluid changes more than covers the cost.
A friend had the 3 year tx service ( fluid and filter ) done at Jenner in Victoria last year for $1450.00.

Your cost is in the ball park. Big city dealers with big overheads charge a bit more.
Hi Don - was quoted $1,600 + tax by the dealer in Burnaby, not including the extra 2 litres for track fill. Ended up doing it myself. We can talk more on the cruise Saturday.
It's sad how combining two seperate service items dealing with similar procedures gives you zero savings at the dealer. The whole thing should have cost half of what you paid, at most. I would say that for most people buying a service plan is worth it.
Kudos to you for keeping up with the required maintenance despite the high cost.

My friends has a 2023 with 45k and he is getting his fluid replaced, they got quotes for 1400+ and Coburg quoted a very realistic 900+. They took it there. I'd say you did well.
I'm not sure why some dealers charge $1600 and some charge $900-$1000. You'd think GM would have a book value for this service, all I can say is avoid the ones that charge $1400+.
