Default Corvette Central

Normally we hear of bad service, but never good service. I'm in the middle of a 4 spd conversion on my 72, and I bought the hurst shifter kit from Corvette Central. The wrong reverse rod was in the kit. I thought it was going to be a hassle and weeks before I received the right part I paid for, but Product Assistance took care of it immediately and I had the right shift rod in 2 days

You are right. I have always have good experience with them.

I've bought a few things from them and always had fast service and the product was exactly what I ordered.

Corvette Central was great in the beginning when I purchased my exhaust system. Then I ran into a problem with one of the sleeves. I had called product assistance . The guy on the phone gave me such a hard time I just hung up. I purchased a new sleeve and donut outright from them, only because I didn't want to explain myself three or four times. So, for a $6 part they lost a good customer.

I have always had good service and support from them. I think once UPS screwed up and left a package where it got stolen and Corvette Central replaced it asap. Good quick service!

Years ago, CC made a customer out of me if only because they seemed to always have what I needed at a fair price with great shipping options.

There are other CF vendors that I support too and just glad that we have solid businesses like CC to choose from.

Ditto on all the positive comments about Corvette Central. My bumper cover retainers just arrived at my US mailing address. CC ships quickly.
