Default Vettenuts guys are great!!!

I’ve got to say, Joe and Marc at Vettenuts are amazing! Their knowledge of the C5 and C6 corvettes is incredible—they know every little detail about these cars. I bought a 2002 C5 in Nashville that needed some TLC before I could head back to Wisconsin this spring (2026). It needed the harmonic balancer replaced and a few other things for a 24-year-old car. They did an inspection and looked over the car, finding a few other issues. Communication was key with them, and they called to let me know what needed fixing and went out of their way to make sure the car was roadworthy. Joe and Marc really went above and beyond to help me out. They took it to get tires put on, found other things that needed fixing along the way, and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg for everything. They’re a true shop that’s in it for the hobby, treating your car like it’s their own. I haven’t had a shop that made me feel so comfortable with them fixing my C5 Vette. I wish I didn’t live in Wisconsin so they could be my main shop to take the car to all the time. Maybe it’s worth the drive if I really need something! I’m planning to buy most of my car parts from them because they also have a huge selection of used parts for sale.

Just saying, "didn’t charge me an arm and a leg for everything." This is subjustive, If you want to share what was done and what they did you will get an answer here if it was a good price or not. But like i said. If you payed 5k for a harmonic balancer and you think that's a good price but actually you got ripped off. This is just an example. But if your happy with the price no matter how high it was and you can sleep at night don't post how much it cost because you might be shocked. Just saying. Good price for you might be considered a rip of for others. But i've worked with them and their good guys over there. I get parts that can't be found.

I priced that job to get done elsewhere up here in WI and they were more reasonable at their place for most of the stuff I got done. This is why I had them do it.

I agree, I dropped off my C5 there and they rebuilt my torque tube, sold and installed a Z06 Titanium exhaust, replaced the power steering high pressure line, and replaced the transmission front seal, for $2500. Communication was great and I was very satisfied - great guys to deal with!
