The Velocity Corvette Service shop is closed, but the club goes on. After two years in the service business, we end with some advice on choosing a Corvette Service Shop.
Choosing the right shop to service your car can be a difficult decision. Finding an honest and experienced technician that is also certified to work on your early or late model Corvette is even harder.
Most people just go to the dealership because the risk involved with choosing the wrong mechanic can lead to additional problems and even larger repair bills.
Although the dealership is usually the most expensive option, the most costly repair is the one that never gets fixed, and is paid for over and over again. The Corvette owner will get the best results when the shop is chosen based on its specialty. Performance work and tuning work is best done by those who specialize in performance, just as you would not want a performance shop trying to provide basic maintenance, diagnosis, and drivability repair.
Questions to ask when find yourself evaluating who should be servicing your Corvette:
• Does the shop have the equipment required to diagnosis the problem?
• Are their technicians ASE certified and are their certifications kept current?
• Does the shop specialize in Corvettes?
• How long has the shop been open?
• Does the shop have good references?
There are many excellent Corvette service providers in Houston, please consider supporting one of these fine establishments:
• Richey Collision (Collision)
• EnglandGreen (Performance)
• Corvettes of Houston (Maintenance and Diagnosis)
• Mac Haik Chevrolet (Maintenance and Diagnosis)
