Default Looking For A South Atlanta Corvette Shop

Just rejoined the brotherhood recently. Looking for a shop south of Atlanta in Fayetteville/Peachtree City area. Heck Griffin, Hampton, Stockbridge, or Newnan will work too.

Is there anything down this way? Seems everything is north of Atlanta. Long drive to get anything done to your car.

Yes. I saw that one a few weeks ago...... I may just give them a call. From what I remember without going back to their site they have a lot of C4s at their shop. Some C5s and mostly C3s. I might be wrong though, Ill look that back up now.

Thanks for the heads up.

That was the first place I called. He said that they don't work on cars anymore. I get the sense they will be closing their doors soon. I think someone on the forum told.me the founder of the company passed away.

I may go by there and see whats going on since I don't live too far from those guys.

I had a harmonic balancer squeeking but I ended up taking it to Buyavette.net to replace it. I have to say I was disappointed at how things turned out in addition to having to drive so far for service work. The actual work they did was fine and they were nice peoole but the logistics were out of kilter. Not sure if I should chalk it up to stuff happens or..........

I really wish there were options closer to me.

MTI Racing in Marietta is pretty fair and very nice guys. Its unfortunate you had a bad experience at buyavette, but you should try Thornton Rd Chevrolet in Lithia Springs also. I know its the dealer, but those guy do stuff right. It seems like you brought the car to a reputable shop, and I would do that over anything else. Vengence racing is good also but the wait is long. They actually do not charge what you would think they would charge.

Glad you got a new ride!

Ben is the owner and a long time friend, His brother Ralph passed a few years back. I think he is trying to sell the shop, back in the day it was a great shop.
