I would only trust my local shop to do a oil change on my Z51. I just drive it up on the ramp and they do the change. Known the owner since 2004. He would also do my brakes. My 2015 could use all new brakes. The brake dust is unreal and the rotors and getting thin and have some groves. I gotta clean my wheels 3 times a week and i only drive 50 miles a week.

 

Not sure which engine you have. The wet sump oil change is straight forward. The dry sump is also not hard but I would not trust fast lube type of place. I always change my own. Gives me a chance to look the car over and also look to see how the oil looks. I also send a sample out to a shop at times. But dealers and good shops can do the change with no issue. But check the oil level when you get it back. Only use PF64 Delco filter or High end filter. Never the orange one.

Not sure if you are changing calipers or just pads. Pad changes on these cars are pretty simple. But if you are changing out the calipers I would assume you would change rotors and flex lines also. For this I would make sure you have a good dealer or good high end brake shop.

 

I have the LT1 but on a Z51 so it is a dry sump.

 

Why do you think you need NEW calipers? DO you think you need new pads? They are more than simple to replace. Easier than screwing in a light bulb.
Same goes for oil changes. Where do you live? Must be another Vette guy that could help you with this

 

I don't need new calipers, just want new calipers. The current ones are beat up and don't look great. I don't know if I need new pads or not, I'm going to have them checked out and replaced if need be. Previous owner really did not take care of this car.

 

Ok..understand.

 

how do you beat up calipers?

 

Maybe they're dirty. PO drove through lots of gravel? Not sure.
Its his car and if he wants new calipers he should get new calipers.

 

My wheels stay dirty and clean them 3 times a week. I gotta get diff brake pads.

 

Some sites sell caliper covers. That might be an option also. I never tried them and don't know how good they are. But likely much cheaper and simpler to install.

 

I did that on my 08 C6 since they were ugly from the factory. The C7 already has nice one's.
