Mod friendly dealerships in Bay Area?
Quick question guys. Wondering if anyone has taken there car in a bay area dealership for warranty work and had mods installed and they honored it no questions asked. I've had my car for about 2 years now and I recently just noticed an oil leak and wanted to take it in.
I have an Injen long tube intake and mace 25mm insulator that would be noticeable in the engine bay. Plus an axleback but I am not too worried about my exhaust. Is there a dealership like that around or should I just take everything off??

Axle back and intake shouldn't cause a problem, but take the insulator off before you take it in. I would think Fremont chevy is your best bet

Fremont as Josh mentioned, or Abel if it's closer to you.

I don't think your LT's will be a prob for drive train warranty. Ask for Darius Fisher!

I passionately hate Courtesy after multiple screw ups and poor communication. Bobbie loves them, but I personally cannot recommend.

Thanks guys for all your feedback. So it would be best for me to remove my insulator before I head in for the work? Man, I just got it on 2 weeks ago. lolz

I would. Even if you are going in for work under your drivetrain warranty, they still might see the insulator, and if they do theyl'l probably make a note of it and void the warranty of the engine.

Fremont Chevy use to be mod friendly but full management and service staff change recently and they suck. Even if its stock they try not to do warranty work.

You will not find a friendlier or better Mod Friendly shop than Abel Chevrolet in Rio Vista. Plus the only guys working on your ride will be their two Corvette Master Techs....Contact Rich Willhoff Service/ parts mgr. He will impress you.
