Had my first experience with Corvette Center today and right from the moment I arrived I could tell these guys where Corvette enthusiasts. It was relief knowing my car was in good hands.. Thanks Ray
Oh and whoever owns that New White Z06, I'm jealous that has to be the best looking Z06 I've seen

I got rear ended and pushed into the car in front of me last year (weeks after getting the car on the road). Ray took the car in with little notice and fought with the adjuster every step of the way. The car looks better than before it got hit.

I live rite by there and I'm new to the corvette world. I have a car guy that I use to do work that I don't do myself but I read about the corvette center so I figured I would probably use them for my corvette needs. Its good to hear a good review, but hows the pricing?

I have had nothing but great experiences with Ray and crew at Corvette Center. Great to have a local shop of such a high caliber. "How's the pricing" is impossible to answer since every job is different, but I've always thought the pricing is fair for the work I've had done. But stop by or give them a call and I'm sure they can quote you on whatever you need, then you can make your decision.

They recently repainted my t-tops for my '71. They did a beautiful job on them, even despite having to try and match to a paint job that's a couple shades off the original. Ray's communication was great, and he kept me prepared for the worst case scenario if they had to try multiple times to match the paint.
To the question of price, I didn't get another quote because based on reputation I wanted it done right, but I thought it was fair. When I picked them up, even with the extra work of sending out for the paint match and test spraying, the final price was actually lower than the initial quote (without the extra work). I was pleasantly surprised!

I had to go to a Dr appointment in Farmington, and decided to stop in and check it out. They really seemed like they didn't want to be bothered. lol I was in the vette too.

Most positive comments seem to be for body work, restoration, painting etc. Any comments about mechanical work (knowledge/price)?

Mechanical Work at the Corvette Center
Frenchie handles the mechanical work at the Corvette Center. He has many years of experience and knows his stuff. We've worked with him for many years and everything has always been top notch. I don't know of anyone else I would trust more for Corvette mechanical work.

Whoa, I just checked out your website.
After seeing that, I must say, if you recommend them I'm sure they must be "top notch".
Thanks for replying.
