They are great! They have always been responsive and accomodating even when they were under no obligation to do so. When I call I always get a human right away and they take good care of my issue.

Would this have to do with your distance barrier with them?

I have restored two corvettes, buying from several vendors.

I can say that I have only had a couple of bad experiences with suppliers, but neither was with Corvette Central. And I prefer their website to most of the others.

I've probably bought more total parts from Corvette Central than any other vendor. Always great service.

Corvette Central has an excellent reputation. You've made a "naked" assertion. If you are going to bash a vendor you need to provide some substantive information on which you have based your statement.

I've never had a problem with Corvette Central. If you have had a problem, you should take that up with the folks at Corvette Central.

Shark1312, sounds like you are the only one that has had a bad experience with CC. They are one of the top 3 vendors I use, and never had a problem. I'm guessing you had an issue with shipping since you are located in Kuwait?

Care to explain????? So far no one here has anything negative to say, including myself. I have bought quite alot from them, even having items shipped to Canada.
You make a statement here on the forum, but do not give any explanation, if you can't provide us any info, that we might understand, maybe you shouldn't open your mouth and say bad things about a very reputable company !!!!!!!!!

i placed an order since 2 weeks , not processed , and did not reply to many emails i sent, this is delaying my restoration.
i just don't want to order from another vendor then CC debit my card and pass my order.
All vendors have the same parts , but good customer service should be active and fast specially with big company such as CC.
