Good C7 Shops in B.C.

[louie]

Hi guys. I just purchased my new C7 corvette and wanting to install a bunch of mods on it Headers, x-pipe, intake ect... and was looking into what shops you recommend as this is my first Corvette. I live in the Vancouver area. Also what dealers you recommend for first service as I see on this forum people having issues with dealers not knowing how to do a oil change on a dry sump system. Thanks In Advance!!

Recommend you do the oil change yourself. All BC dealers I know are inexperienced with the C7.

For mods, how about Mopac? They do this kind of stuff, but not sure how good they are.

Maybe Corvette Specialties, but not sure if they know the C7 yet. You better get references and not be the first guy with a C7 in there.

Do NOT go to a dealer and ask for this stuff.

Talk to Paul in parts at Dueck Marine Drive for install recommendations. They can get parts for you from many sources also.

He is the best "Corvette Guy" around... he knows them all.

Pricey, but good work.
He "farms out" work he can't handle (exhaust, balancing, etc.),
to VERY good shops.

I used Mopac before for an installation of a supercharger and had issues. I end up fixing it myself. Great if you wanted just to buy parts but install shop i wouldn't recommend. would you not recommend duecks for oil changes they are a good size dealership? as for performance install I can see why not to use dealers Thanks

I have had bad experiences with Duecks.

Thanks for the advice. Ive made contact with them and they haven't done a C7 yet but were very knowledgable

Right. They specialize in old vettes.
