Good questions! Many do take their Corvettes to dealerships, but finding the right one is critical. Finally found one who takes outstanding care of my Z06 -- after "firing" two previous ones. Conversely, there are many on this forum who do most or all of their own maintenance. If someone is so interested, skilled and has the right tools, that would be a great option -- but personally lack the technological skill nor the tools.
Here's a previous forum thread that will help you answer your questions.

As mentioned in that thread, I personally found out where to bring my Corvette for skilled maintenance by asking at a local Corvette club, or if you would rather not drop in on a club meeting, google and find out who are the Presidents of local Corvette clubs (there are several in your area), and call and ask those persons your very same questions. In fact, your question got me curious and so I googled this question and came up with two forum responses to your very question, and here they are verbatim:
Posted by "Ramman":
"I and many other Denver area Corvette owners make the drive to Purifoy Chevrolet in Fort Lupton.
They are really into the Corvette market. They even have a Separate Showroom for them.
This is an old fashioned small town dealer. The man that owns it loves Corvette’s and the shop is always spotless. When I had to leave my car overnight for an A/C problem that was under warranty they gave me a free loaner car. I recommend that you stop by and just look around before you need them."
AND:
"I'm with RAMMAN, Purifoy is serious about Corvette's and has been for many years. The only drawback is the distance to get there. Purifoy also does aftermarket work including superchargers. Very clean service bays and attentive service managers.
I've no experience with Medved and will therefore abstain from comment. I would however be happy to discover that Medved is indeed another option in addition to Purifoy. In my opinion, there simply are not enough dependable and trustworthy dealerships delivering Corvette service.

As both of these posts preceded this forum and are several years old, would still recommend your contacting someone in a local Corvette club and asking them their opinions about Purifoy Chev in Fort Lupton and/or other Corvettes dealers in your area.
