Who Is Tampa Bay's BEST Chevy Service Center?!

Hey ya'll, I tried searching but came up short so any help would be appreciated!

I need a few warranty issues dealt with but am nervous about dealers ****ing my car up.

Considering the dealer I bought it from had 2 chips in the paint with 143 miles on it (Main Motor Chevy, MN), I don't trust these bastards as far as I can throw the car.

So what dealership have the best service departments in Tampa? Won't damage my car or leave my seats greasy and smelling like sweat.

Any dealers to avoid? Seems like the only thing I could find here is to avoid Gordon Chevy.

Any help is much appreciated!!!
Daniel

Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City. Worth the drive. Top shelf dealership with lots of new and classic car eye candy. I bought my 1LE there and they fixed a few warranty issues extremely professionally and the owner is a huge car guy.

Stingray is great. German Chevy in Brandon is good also, at least when you know the 1LE owners there..

Stibgray Chevy has been nothing but top notch in my experience. The showroom is like a mini car show and I've even seen McLaren's and P cars in the service area so obviously they are reputable to many.

Wesley Chapel Chevy had a possibly mishap with my car once but besides that one issue I had with them regarding my diff fluid they've gone above and beyond to keep me satisfied every time I take my car there. I prefer stingray but this place is closer.

Thank you all, unfortunately they don't work on convertible issues!

But they said they can do anything else!

Looks like I'm going to Ferman on Dale Mabrey. Anyone have any experiences, good or bad there? I used to go to Ferman Acura back in the day and it was a mixed bag.

Well for convertible work down by me, the best guy in the area is Convertible Tops and More in Bradenton. He replaced the top on my wife's '07 Solara and did it expertly, and it's held up perfectly in the year and a half since.

Cox Chevy in Bradenton uses Convertible Tops and More for all their ragtop work, including warranty work with delaminated glass.

I go to Church with the Fermans, but I've never had any luck at their Dealerships

Those cars are the owners. He buys them, enjoys them for awhile and then resells them. I drove one of the 570s they had.

Have any of you guys had issues with the car popping out of 2nd gear? Want to take it to dealership that has dealt with it before. I know there is a write up on here but on a whim thought I would ask if any of you had ever had it looked at locally.

I went to Ferman Chevy in Brandon for a track alignment. Manny was the SA. They adjusted it to spec but the steering wheel was not straight and it was completely out of spec after one day at Sebring. I left three messages asking for a call back. No return call. I'm not going back.

Mike S. works there and has a SS 1LE. He supports customers that are interested in HPDE's and tracks his car on a regular basis.

I can't speak from personal experience, but Stingray has a good reputation.

So who are people using for track alignment work and things like that? Chevy dealerships? Race shops? Any suggestions or experiences appreciated.
