Default Central NJ Shop(?)

Am new to the site and think its great. Have a '99 Coupe with 28000miles and mostly stock. Bought it with 4000miles from Ramp Chevy in Port Jeff for a 50th birthday present for myself 7 years ago. I am now looking for a shop in Somerset, Hunterdon, or Middlesex counties to do rountine maintenance such as brake service, oil service and coolant flush(maybe power steering pump). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There's no better place than ECS in cream ridge, NJ.

Here's their address and phone number:

562 Route 539
Cream Ridge, NJ 08514

609 752 0321


BTW, I bought my vette at Ramp as well.

ECS ...brakes, no problem, oil changes, no problem, coolant flush, no problem. And while you are there, a twin turbo or a supercharger, no problem.
