Default Thanks to Zip Corvette

Wanted to give recognition to Bobby and his team at Zip Corvette. I recently opened a Corvette shop in North San Diego County and Bobby and Zip have been great to work with.

I have been buying from Corvette parts vendors for 35 years, and Zip has never let me down. Fast delivery and good quality.

I buy wholesale from Eckler's, but do use other vendors when necessary! I will say that if other vendors don't have the part, Zip does! I swear, every time a supplier has a back order I call Zip!

I've used Zip for the last 6 years since owning my Vette and they've been great, never a problem or delay in getting my parts to me. I've never had a reason to go anywhere else, keep up the great work guys!

I bought from them starting in the early days - heck, I called for an exhaust once and the (then) owner (Wayne ?) picked up the phone hisself and took my order. I did :o stray for some reason in the early 2000's when getting my '69 back in order but took advantage of their recent Thanksgiving sale and bought a bunch of stuff for the '69's frame-on. Will continue to do as I wrap up the project.

My first order had some complications,
got the wrong window motor twice.
But they took care of it very quickly.
I'll be ordering from them again.

Mistakes happen and I don't expect 100% accuracy. But, I do expect mistakes to be handled and that is where Zip has always performed for me.
