GM Makes Changes on How Customers Can Follow the Status of Their C8 Corvette Order


During the C7 era, all the major Corvette forums had an agreement with GM that would allow the site’s members to inquire about the status of their Corvette order on select threads that were monitored by a Chevrolet Customer Care staff member. Those staff members would then respond individually to those member’s requests with the status level of their order.

Thanks to our friends at the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com, we have learned that Chevrolet will be taking a different approach when it comes to communicating order status with the 2020 Corvette.

There are two ways to track your 2020 Corvette order once the process officially gets underway on September 12th.

Dealership Communication

Every dealer has through their Global Connect Order WorkBench software program, the program in which they order all their vehicles, the ability to 24/7 look up the status of an order. That process will continue, i.e., every dealer will continue to have the ability to look at your order status on their software system.

However, recognize that your dealer does not just have to take good care of your order, but depending on the size of their allocations, up to more than 100 per month, and as from start to finish the order process can stretch for three or even four months, tracking hundreds and hundreds of them. Hence, please be respectful of requesting your order’s status from the dealership.

GM Corvette Concierge Program

Replacing the forum-based “Customer Care” reps is the Corvette Concierge Program that launched just after the 2020 Corvette Reveal last month. GM views this new program as the preferred venue for requesting 2020 Corvette information or inquiring about your order status.

Therefore to ascertain your C8’s Order Status Code, you could, starting September 12th, but also not before your dealer has informed you that they have paired and submitted your order with a specific consensus GM granted allocation, contact either your dealership or call the Corvette Concierge program at 1.866.424.3892.

Order Status Codes

Here are the order status codes, but to help you learn more about the entire GM purchasing process, especially when demand exceeds supply, please also read all of the following four threads below.

1000 Order On Hold at Dealership

1100 Order Placed at Dealership; preliminarily accepted by GM Computer. Note: This does NOT mean that GM guarantees that your car will be produced, as that only occurs at status code 2000, but means that the order was properly filled out into the computer, e.g., required boxes filled out — but nothing more than that.
