Default new(er)?

Are you talking about a late-model or vintage car?

Nothing specific, just gathering info. No restoration or body work. I am sure any good autoshop could take care of the car, just preferred someone experienced with Corvettes if that were possible. As always, I appreciate the help from the Forum

Through a trusted and talented friend I have in the transmission business that occasionally works with John's Corvette Service, the shop is reputable and knowledgeable. As with any specialty service, expect to pay a little higher in service rates and service hours per each service performed.

He's been there for quite awhile, must be doing something right. Thought I heard some time ago his parents owned the Motel right next door. Can't confirm though.

Default Jon's corvette

I had him (John) do alot of work to my 69 and he did a real good job BUT he is not cheap! I would trust him with my car and I would go back. I wish you would explain what happen to your car. There's also another place in Center Harbor behind the lumber yard. Private work, not a dealer, his name is Randy he's done alot of work on all our other cars also. If you go down the road next to the lumber yard it's the first driveway on your left.

Default He is the best

John's Corvette is the best. He has always treated us fairly and restored our friends 66 BB. NCRS. I highly recommend John and his pricing is better then most especially with his experience and reputation. We have a 2000 and Cantins could not get the column lock problem solved after 3 tries I finally had it towed to John's and he fixed it and it has been over a year with no more column lock problems. He and his employees are great.
