Our Annual List Of Where To Get Your Corvette Fixed
Our Annual List Of Where To Get Your Corvette Fixed
http://images.corvettefever.com/imag..._w_trailer.jpgAS IN past years, we again present you with our annual list of top Corvette shops you can trust. This list has been one of the most requested (and used) components of Corvette Fever for several years now. But it isn't really our list-it's yours. We have compiled your recommendations over the last year into a directory we hope you'll refer to again and again. This newly updated directory will also be posted on our Web site, www.corvettefever.com. Since we published our original list of your favorite Corvette shops five years ago, your recommendations have continued to come in. These Corvette businesses range from full-blown restoration shops to places you can go to for routine maintenance. This year, some new shops have been added, along with the sender's comments so the list has changed some since last year. As in the past, this directory will continue to be a work in progress. Please send your shop suggestions (or unresolved issues) to corvettefever.firstturn@primedia.com. Please include your name and location, as well as the name, address, phone number, and owner's name of the shop you recommend. Tell us why the shop deserves to be on the list for next year, or any problems you have encountered. As in the past, you can also nominate more than one shop if you've received exceptional service at several places. Please note: All shops listed here have been recommended by fellow Corvette enthusiasts. Based on their experiences, these businesses should be trustworthy, but Corvette Fever accepts no responsibility or liability for any work they do. We will, however, continue to accept all information about unresolved problems our readers have and reserve the right to remove repeat offenders from the list. ARIZONA The Vette Shoppe 625 S.

Bad Repair - Charged for fix but didn't repair
It is interesting to see
Corvette Shop & Supplies 609 N. Dale Mabry Hwy. Tampa, FL 33609 in your list of trusted and quality corvette repair facilities. I took my 1985 corvette to them for repair, needed rear window shocks, door seals, and the ac temp control fixed. When I talked to them before the service I was told by that all the parts would be new since nothing was out of manufacturer. However, when I got the car back the rear shocks were from a wrecked car and the ac temp control wasn't fixed. I took the car back and discussed the problem with them - they had me leave the car and said things would be resolved. When I picked car up the 2nd time the used rear window shocks were still installed and the temp control wasn't fixed. The maintenance manager started shouting about how I shouldn't expect new parts and that the sales person shouldn't guarantee the work. Bottom line, I ordered the parts and had them intstalled at a quality shopl DO NOT USE THIS SHOP - Nothing Quality about them. |
