Default Ken King at Vette Essentials the Best

I just got back from Rochester Hills MI. I went up to visit Ken King at Vette Essentials. I was having the seats on my 04 Redone in New Leather. I took my seats up at got to see Sandy do her magic. I can tell you it's not easy work. I had done just inserts on my 99 pervious to that. This was my second trip visiting. For those of you who have been considering getting your interiors done. I can tell you that Ken is a good business man a very nice person but most of all he is a great friend. He took my friend and I out to dinner which was unexpected . We discussed the C5 verses the C6 and other subjects. I can tell you he has a great passion for corvettes and it shows in the details of his work. So those of you out there who are deciding who will do your next interior work decide no more there is only one choice VETTE ESSENTIALS. Lets support Ken as he has always supported the forum members and give him all the business he can handle.

Ken was very nice to me also. I bought arm rest covers from him at Carlisle last year and I had one that would not stick. He called me personaly on the phone and made sure the problem was taken care of.

Great to hear! I am so impressed with his seats! Just a good road trip away from me too! Looks like a visit this spring is in order.

I called him to ask a few questions about the MCM Hood he now carries. He spent more than 20 minutes talking about Vettes and stuff to me - He is really knowledgable, and just a genuine nice guy. I will ALWAYS buy from him when ever I can.

Congrats on the new seat skins!
This is about the only Vette Essentials interior leather mod I don't have yet.
I agree, Ken's the best!

Ken's a great guy to do business with and easy to talk too!
Quality is first rate, the best I've seen!
