I purchased my C8 through Criswell Chevy in Maryland. I live in San Diego but the car will be delivered to La Quinta, CA (Palm Springs). The car has been shipped but I am told there is no way to track the date of delivery.
Does anyone know of a way to track delivery of the car? Neither Criswell or the La Quinta dealer seems to know how to do it.
Are they beginners at those dealerships? Have they never ordered/delivered a single Corvette, or are they just blowing you off?
The dealership can track your car's progress through their GM Workbench. That will show codes for where the car is in the build process, as well as where the car physically is located.
The C7s went from Bowling Green to Toledo on a truck, and then from Toledo to CA on a train. Again, the GM Workbench will show where your car is, and, if it is on a train, what the train container number is.
Using that number, you can call to get extremely precise location information about where the train was (usually within the last few hours) in its various stops and side rails.
In addition, the invoice will have a date for which you should expect your car to be delivered to the local dealership.
This is all very easy to do, if your dealer's employees have any experience in this area at all, or, if they do really know what they are doing, then if they are willing to tell you the truth and help you.
There are multiple threads on here about how to do the above, but it all starts with some worker at the dealership sending updates to you from the GM Workbench showing the information you need.
