Default Beast Corvette Service place in Phoenix AZ ???

I just relocated from Nashville TN to Phoenix AZ.

What is the best place to get my Corvette serviced in the Ahwatukee, Tempe, Chandler area ???

Hopefully there is a dealer around here who know how to service Corvettes

There are several Chevy dealers in the area. I am a snowbird in the winter. I have used Brown and Brown in downtown Mesa for all of my Chevrolets.

I take mine to Thorobred. The service manager there owns and autocrosses a C5 Z06 and seems to look out for Vette owners. He is a good guy and he "gets" it that we expect a little more from service.

The dealership also hosts a Corvette club (I am not a member... not really into the club thing).

George Ifil is my service writer. The dealership is on the Chandler / Gilbert border south of the 60 on Country Club (or whatever it turns into south of there)

If you are in the east Valley I would give them a try. I have never had a problem with them and have never had to fight for warantee work.

Tell George that John the Drummer with the C6 vert told you to call him. He will take care of you.

anyone have experience with midway chevrolet in phoenix? i bought my vert there and all was good until trying to use the on star. the unit is apparently bad and needs replacing, i think the dealer should have checked it along with everything else.

but thats the only issue.

Van Chevrolet in Scottsdale has a great tech - Steve Payne. He is a very knowledgeable tech. I know that the ***'t Service Manager is Caro. They sell and service a lot of Corvettes.

We have a great working relationship with them.

For any aftermarket work, Xtreme is the place to go.

Default Call Ken at the Vette Shop in Tempe!!

For anything service, maintenance or performance related to a Corvette, I have used Ken and have referred hundreds to his Vette Shop in Tempe.

Ken is the best at everything Corvette, and he's honest and fairly priced for his work.
The Vette Shoppe
(480) 945-9030
625 S. McClintock Dr. Suite 4
Northeast corner of McClintock and University south of the Loop 202, use the McClintock Dr. exit
Tempe, AZ 85281

Unless you need warranty work, try Ken for everything else for your Corvette.
Hope this helps you out!!

A little further away but worth the trip is Legends Cadillac, Frank Lloyd Blvd, Scottsdale. Contact Armand Slason b480-368-6854 Service Writer Danny is the Corvette/XLR tech and is outstanding.

You also get treated like a customer of Cadillac.

Just tell Armand that Jim and Susan Hildebrand sent you.

If you're ever looking for anything more than what a dealership offers, I suggest you go to BDM Motorsports in Tempe (ask for Darrell). This is a favorite shop for Arizona Corvette Racing group members. BDM does excellent work...good people to deal with.

What troubles are you talking about? Do you have any facts or can you be more specific? I just believe it's unfair to put out negative comments unless you can back it up. Have you had any personal experience with Xtreme. If so, share with the rest of us.
For me, I've done thousands of $'s in business with Xtreme and wouldn't take my vette anywhere else. These guys are top notch and IMO, the most knowledable and skilled vette and high performance craftsman in Arizona. Honest guys who will always do the right thing for their customers.

Default Corvette shop in NW valley.

Okay, so there are some good shops in Mesa, Tempe, etc. but how about a good vette shop in the Peoria area? I have a 2005 C6 with over 100k miles and need a good, reliable shop.

22 miles Peoria to Tempe is too far? Gotta say, not criticizing you, but some people travel a lot farther to find/go to a good shop, not the run of the mill.

Get notified of new replies

First of all, I live an hour from Tempe, Trilogy at Vistancia. so if I have to I would travel that far, but why if there is someone closer.
