I took a C7 Z06 A8 into local Chev dealership for a triple flush. When I questioned the “Corvette specialist” mechanic about the procedure, I was told.. transmission, power steering and coolant would be replaced for $1,100 .. This is a multi dealership (12) owner. Obviously I declined the service.
My 1st.oil change on my c7 back in 2016 genius who jacked up my vette at dealership cracked my passenger side rocker panel . And didn't te me . Thought it was a spider nest . They fixed it after I talked to gm of dealership. Last time I ever went to that dealership. Bought car 2 hrs away figured this local place could have a oil change. Sad
There is a shortage of qualified mechanics. And not many entering this profession any time soon. Young men don’t want to work, and I think you may see more women doing it. Going to the dealer for an oil change and Jiffy Lube is about the same any more, What a shame this country is turning into. Laziness and Incompetence. When the baby boomers start dying off there is a wealth of knowledge gone forever.
Beadlock wheels sandwich the tire between wheel and an outer ring. Bolts do not do through the tire itself. The reason for beadlock wheels is, you air down tire pressure significantly for more grip. You need the clamping force to keep tire from spinning on wheel.
Good name. Its my middle name, and my first choice if I ever have kids/a son. Came from my great grandpappy Jay, who died fightin the nahtzees in dubbya-dubbya two 😅👍
Had a different Ram dealership forget to tighten oil drain plug after Ram 2500 first oil change. Plug blew out and seized the engine on my way home. In the end, they replaced the truck. At first they ask to rebuild engine, on a new diesel truck… no thank you.
I think you should request that the dealer video tape your service just like you have to prove you did your service yourself I think the dealership should have to prove they did the service especially for the outrageous prices they're charging when I go get my transmission done I'm going to make them video tape it just for the price they're charging me I want video tape
This would be my #1 reason (even if I had the money) that I would not get the ZR1. They are ultimately Chevys and will have problems and very few people will know how to fix them. It’ll be like the McLaren F1 where there’s like one mechanic in the country that fixes them.
Grand Sport is the perfect car for 90% of people. Has the handling, much better styling, better performance, & enough power (for most) WITHOUT the added 300lb? penalty & godawful EV whining noise. Plus you can tune a GS much easier than a hybrid E-Ray👍
@HorsePowerObsessed just wait....engine will have a different cam and more horse power then current stingray. When it comes out you can remember this conversation and think, hmmm , that guy was right....lol
Corvette owners must learn & watch maintenance being performed. Nice video.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks!
Thank YOU!!

Wish the GS would be a manual, lol. Just b/c I enjoy the interaction. 😅 Of course I know manuals are never coimg back. 😜
Same here!
JAY is HERE !!!

You want a 8 track tape player also
Yep I need another Set !!😂
34:50 Yep, the C8 ZR1 is using a different bolt pattern. Didnt know it was just the rear. Seems like a bad oversight

I show 202 👍🏼👍🏼
Did you discuss c8 z06 wheels? I don’t see on website?
They are coming soon.
Where is E5 located?
Miami
I HAVE BLACK CHROME WHEELS ON MY SEAWOLF GRAY Z06!!!!!!

Maybe a supercharger for the GS.
Wishful thinking…

Hey
Hey Jay!

OMG

The Grand Sport will have a different motor then the current stingray.
I'm not sure that makes financial sense if GM wants to put this car between the Stingray and the E-Ray, it can't have a bunch of different parts.
@HorsePowerObsessed just wait....engine will have a different cam and more horse power then current stingray. When it comes out you can remember this conversation and think, hmmm , that guy was right....lol
Oh it will be a wide body car as well
These are things we’ve already discussed here. It IS possible for a different engine but not financially a good call. And yes widebody will be here.
Martin Chevy in Crystal Lake IL destroyed my Corvette
How? I was going to bring my c8 z06 there and now im not cuz of this comment, would love to know the details
