i live in livermore. i have been to their shop. they have always been excellent with part quality and advice. everything i have bought from them was excellent, but remember they are used parts. if you call they may not answer immediately as there are only a couple people working there and they are usually in the back shop or down the street at their other location. they will get back to you if you leave a message or an email. i don't find their prices to be high. remember quality used parts do cost more than junk.

Big City is right down the road from where I work....dealt with Chris once when I bought seats for my 68. Seemed easy to deal with, took me for a grand tour of the place(doing business out of a house at the time, didn't know they had another location), I'd deal with them again

Had very good experiences with them. Prices seeemed right for the parts I bought, quick email return, lots of pictures and the quality is exactly as described which since being in Europe is important to me as returning parts is nearly impossible. I bought stainless trim, seat tracks and original interior parts.

I buy many new and used parts at Corvette Clinic in San Jose. This is a small local shop. Best thing is they have new or used all the tiny bolts, screws, & little rare parts that the big mail order places do not stock. They also only sell high quality parts. Not a hit or miss like with the big mail order stores. Very knowledgeable crew working there.

They also do mail order.

Big City Corvette are good. Bought one of their lower dash pads on eBay, and they shipped it in a big box to New Zealand for $44. As opposed to Full Throttle Corvette, who sent me a pair of A flap seals for the engine compartment for $35 shipping. Gouge much?
I quite like Corvette Pacifica as well. Dorian's a good guy (for a Springbok supporter!).

Never delt with this company, but I did find this on the BBB site. For what ever that may be worth. Manuel


"According to information in the BBB files, it appears that the company is no longer in business. The phone numbers the BBB had for this company are disconnected, and directory assistance does not have a listing for this company. The BBB's mail to this company has been returned as undeliverable. If you have an unresolved dispute with this company you may wish to seek legal advice."

Hello everyone. I started working at Big City Corvettes a year a go and things are still rolling at 325 Preston Ct in Livermore. We have 2 online stores. One on Ebay and one at bigcitycorvettes.com If you buy the item through the webstore sometimes its cheaper as we dont have to deal with Ebay fees. We just got a huge shipment of NOS parts from a guy closing down his business in Wisconsin. Our guys are listing them as fast as they can. Hours are normally 8-5 Mon thru Fri. Chris and Tom are the guys to talk to when wheeling an dealing. 503-319-9453 is Toms cell Cheers!
