        Welcome!

        I used to deal with Classic Chevrolet until they shut down. The last vehicle purchased was from Betten Baker out in Coopersville. Berger was pushy when I was tossing around the idea of trading in my 2dr Jimmy for a Trailblazer.

          Welcome to MiF-Body!

          As far as which Chevy dealer to trust in Grand Rapids, Berger has unimpeachable street cred when it comes to the Camaro, and they even sponsor the West Michigan Camaro Club. If you're having any questions about or problems with Berger, feel free to ask one of the many WMCC guys on here for advice.

            Welcome to the site, Mark! I agree with Kevin - head to Berger and tell them you heard about them through WMCC and Michigan FBody. Berger sponsored our site for one year as well so Dick Jacques should be familiar with us too.

              Thanks guys.
              I am new to Western Michigan, and bought the car in Kansas City....

              I will keep Berger in mind.... so far no trouble with hit (brouight it home Saturday ), but want to get my ducks in a row if I need service.

                Yeah, with the convertible top I'm sure you'll need to get friendly with a dealership. I don't know if they fixed the problem by 2012, but I know a bunch of the 2011 folks were really unhappy with defects in their convertible top.

                    Thanks, I am aware of top issues. Hoping my May build is not effected.

                      If you're new to West Michigan, one of your best bets would be to join West Michigan Camaro Club and through your contacts there, the folks you meet can help you with information on lots of things beyond just car stuff.

                            PS -- Make sure you have June 1 on your calendar for our MiFBody Meet & Greet show in Milford MI, the July 4 weekend for the ultimate Camaro Superfest in Ypsilanti MI, and August 23 & 24 for the 28th Street Cruise in Grand Rapids.

                            There also tends to be some other, small event on Woodward in Metro Detroit in August, around the 17th...
