nbergma | C6 Passenger Power Seat Control Lever | ||
Guru Newb
|
I just sold my 1994 C4 base model Corvette (sniff, sniff, I loved that car but she was starting to have some problems and I wasn't willing to continue footing the repair bills) and purchased a gorgeous 2006 C6 Corvette base model in Monterey Red from a small dealership in Manteca with 46,000 miles on it. Overall the car seems really good except for some relatively minor cosmetic and functional problems.
I asked the dealerthip, Hedricks Chevrolet in Fresno, California, about the cost to repair these minor (at least they seem like they should be minor) problems. They told me:
Here are my two questions.
Thank you very much in advance for any help and/or advice you can offer about this.

wow... You may try vette2vette for that switch cover. you may also try a local u-pick-it lot. It might be used on other GM cars. same goes with the power lock cover thingy.
Also, check MidAmerica for some of these bits. They sound fragile, so maybe the aftermarket will have support for this MidAmerica ia s sponsor of the Guru, so show your support by using either the top banner or the left nav banner. The hose? WTF? it's a HOSE for crying out loud. Remove the seat, cut off the crimped portion. slip fit a piece of vacuum line and cinch down with some wire ties; or get metal spring clips. Either way... IT'S A HOSE. Also, call Chris May at Superior Chevy, 1.800.728.8267. Tell him I sent you. He sells parts to Corvette folks at discount. That's because he is the wholesale parts guy. |

Andy, I take my hat off to you for your great suggestion. I called Chris Mays as you suggested and he said he can order the lever for the power seat switch for under $12 (plus shipping to me) and can order the door lock switch for the passenger side door for under $13. He'll ship them both to me after he gets them and I should have them by sometime next week. He said to tell you "Hi" and he appreciates you continuing to send him business. Regarding the high prices that Hedrick's Chevrolet quoted to me for the door lock switch, he said they must have been including shop labor to replace it in their quote to me. He had no idea why they told me I could not order just the lever for the power seat switch but instead told me I had to replace the entire switch.
Many, many thanks! |

I got my Corvette back today with the new lumbar bladder assembly and switch from Hedricks Chevrolet. The lumber now works great -- but for $475 it should.
For anyone interested, attached are some photos of our new baby, the Monterey Red 2006 base model C6 Corvette. We think she's gorgeous! |

Nice looking C6! Glad Andy was able to help you out and your happy.
Just remember that dealerships have people and overhead to pay as well. I can't speak for the one you originally went to, but my home dealership is really awesome. Am I always happy with what they tell me? Well no, but I know where they are coming from and how much it costs for them to run that little "city" they have. I just can't say enough good things about Sport Chevrolet in Silver Spring, MD OK... I'll stop |

Nice new car!
Glad Chris May could help you out and things got taken care of. Granted dealers have overhead and have to make a living, but always good to get a second opinion |
