They pull your car into the bay . Oh wait, I better wash my hands before working on this expensive car. OK , better get a coffee , this could take a while. Drank half the coffee , must visit the can . Come back and talk to the mechanic in the adjacent bay about last night’s game . OK time to open the engine hood. Woops better connect it and run a diagnostic……………….that’s what I thought. It needs an oil change. Up on the hoist hopefully not dropping it. Darn , it’s coffee break. Come back and realize that we are out of the required filter. Send the parts guy to the local Wallmart . Ad Infinitum…..Enough to make you buy a hoist if you have the space and means, lol .It’s actually $300 / hour .. they just do the service in 14 minutes …

This sums it up perfectly !!!
Reality is now setting in to all corvette owners reading ….
Here is how it actually went down today, which is supported by these comments.
Dropped car off at 9:30am. Nephew picks me up so I could buy him breakfast … we do that. 11:00am back at dealership only to discover they haven’t figured out how to use my shiny new maintenance plan to cover the DCT service …. So haven’t started as they didn’t want me to be faced with a bill of $700+ if it was wasn’t covered …. Ok , noble I guess. I said just get going and we will work that part out.
I called Don Le, he offered me some great therapy and I shared that with dealer. After their GM warranty rep got back to them , all good, all covered … now they can start. (11:30am)
Unsure what happens during the next 3.5 hours exactly other than me pacing the halls of the dealership, while being updated that he is almost finished … I know every car they have in stock if anyone’s looking , lol
At 2:00pm , all done , all good. I’m free to go home ! Signed paperwork, no $ required (Thanks Don!)
They were super courteous and good to deal with. Just tried my patience a few times is all.
FYI for all, they did then tell me that DCT filters and Oil are on back order by GM Canada with 2-4 week lead time. If you need service done, get it booked and ensure they have the parts to do it

Yes , in a lot of cases they have had to be because of economic reasons. . But you will go a long ways to find more resourceful , genuine , and caring people .It’s actually $300 / hour .. they just do the service in 14 minutes …

Update; Murray provided (thanks Murray), a couple of documents early in this thread to support GM covering the 1 st canister filter replacement, which I took to the local dealer. I also emailed GM Canada Service, who contacted the dealer. Between them, they eventually decided that the canister filter would be replaced under warranty, and notified me on May 5 that I would be reimbursed for the cost.
Just today, they finally signed a cheque for the original $1052. Which I promptly deposited with my cellphone.

Hi, I just had it done this morning...no charge....
Please don't forget to donate to this forum and the Concierge who provided the documentation originally that just saved you $1052 because we have the platform and resources/knowledge that apparently your dealer didn't!!
Can someone provide me with the copy of the bulletin that extended the complimentary DCT filter replacement on 2023 Corvettes to 3 years 12000 kms from the original 2 years 12000 kms? I am going in for the service in 2 days and don't want to pay if its covered.
Not sure if this is it . No time to read it, about to board an aircraft.
Thanks to Corvette’s Brand Quality Manager Lane Resek for providing this to MECF.
I believe it was only 24 and up.
There are C* owners stating it covers 2023 model year now but so far I do not have written proof.
This says 2 years.
I think they are covered now Just can't seem to copy it for some reason. I'll try later when we land
That's the one!
