Default Tonys Corvette shop!

Any of you all use him?? Tell me what you thought. The good and the bad. His shop is huge and is extremely professional. He has been very helpful with me and doesn’t push me away due to my age. Class act from what I have experienced so far. Please share your stories with me.

Everytime I have spoke to Tony he has been real nice. I hear a lot of great things about them.

I've talked with others who have used his services and have seen his work on the restoration of a 63 Z06. The car took a NCRS Top Flight Award.

In terms of later model work, can't say. He has a good reputation and nice to deal with, I'm told.

Tony's great! It is a toss-up between him and Chris at ECS

The shop works on all year Corvettes and they have just expanded and set-up a new indoor, climate and atmosphere controlled dyno.

I believe they are now working on developing forced induction packages and NA packages.

Tony is honest and up front, no games or doubting.

All the work on my 02 z06 was done by tony's. As far as I can tell its top notch work, but it is a bit pricey.

I called them and they invited me up to tour the shop - They are REALLY nice and seem to know what they are doing - GREAT shop for sure - But they did not overwhelm me with expertise like Chris and Doug at ECS did. They knew a lot - but I did not feel as if the people I talked too were "masters". Maybe I felt this way because until recently thier mainstay was older Vettes.

This is TOTALLY based on an initial impression and NOTHING fact based!

I always do my own work - but have decided my back is just too screwed up for major projects and are going to let ECS supercharge and cam my car (it is secretly killing me to do this) but the wife said no more working on cars then whining for two days bacuse I can't get up off the floor.

Default Tony's

Tony's shop is in the Airpark located on the east side of Gaithersburg. He recently replaced the brakes and muffler system on my '63. He does great work and his prices are competitive if you're looking for quality. Ask anyone in G'burg Vettes about him....he's our shop of choice!
