Corvette Mike Sales & Service

These guys are not friendly at all, I called to discuss possibly consigning my car with them and some guy named Jeff got on the phone with an attitude, not friendly, just a jerk. I decided to hang up and go with someone that deserves my business without treating the customer with disrespect.

I needed exhaust manifold they where very curates and professional they didn’t have it but they refer were to find them. thanks.

Troy,
I wish you were around when I took my car to Corvette Mikes. Maybe you could have rectified the situation. I never heard your name when asking for assistance!
Corrections:
1) My A/​C stopped working just 3 (THREE) days after getting it back. It was a short drive up the coast when it stopped. I didnt take it back, because I didn’t need anything else going wrong while in your shop, especially after Karl lost the key, and became rude. Why keep making a mistake over again? I took my loss and found someone who takes good care of my car and customers.
2) Karl wanted me to drive from Lakewood back to Anaheim to get a key made, which he said would takes 4 (FOUR) hours to perform, when I went about1 mile from myself home to a locksmith, and had several keys for my corvette made. No brainer??? In fact, I was told by no one that the key was lost when picking up my car. Karl could have let me know the key was lost when he called me saying my car was ready to be picked up. CLEARLY, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE.
3) The bill was $ 3,500. My total was $ 2591., and my husband paid additional $ 1,000. for my birthday. I can’t help it if your records are not in order.
So, Troy, thanks for your reply, however, after-​the-​fact replies, don’t help customers. Good customer service does.

I had made an appointment to bring in my 2008 Corvette for a minor issue. I had been advised that they didn’t know when during the day they would be able to take care of it. I figured that it was easier for me to just «camp out» than to get a ride back and forth and was prepared for 4 – 5 hrs of doing «nothing». I was out of there after about ONE hour! Chris, who has changed position with the company and no longer do the «service work» that was needed on my car, stepped in and got it taken care of! Absolutely fantastic! All the people at Corvette Mike’s that I had contact with were very pleasant and I had a great experience!

Wow. Troy. Round two… mmm the company that does no wrong. Frist u had work done 3 times same problem. When finally finished 3 times later. Wow my tires are low. My oil light comes on and the the reset of of battery out. Look Troy I have had so many vehicle’s that Mike himself would be impressed. I came there because your lack of experience expertise and knowledge made me come back. not by choice. Also what’s up with the attitude there. Customers pay your bills. Great that Mike sells to a few stars but there are more of us exutive people in the oc than I’m sure you get. Again bring on your insults. I’m also confused about your vast selection of parts. I’ve been there watched your old man in parts pick up phone call all the dealers and then some get possible the parts mark them up on your side and put on vehicles .Any time I have ever asked about a part down to the smallest even with a very newer one. no I don’t carry have to call dealer give me a break. so what do you carry… Nothing !bad prices .bad attitude. bad work. Mike should clean house .even you Replying in the combative way. you don’t fool me. Talked a with a few of my Vett friends and as I suspected they don’t use you for my reasons they may not tell you as I have but sounds like retraining and attitude adjustments or time to clean house Mike!

I have always taken both my Corvettes in to Corvette Mike for service. Today I brought my 57 in for an oil change, tune up, and some other small problems. Everything was done perfectly and the car has never run better. I’ve tried other service companies in the distant past, and none has come close to Corvette Mike’s excellent work.

Where do I start? I am very disappointed in Corvette Mikes repair shop. My 2005 Corvettes check engine light came on. I took it to a Chevrolet dealer near my home in Northern California, and they claimed it needed a valve job at a cost of $ 5000. Corvette Mike told me they could do a valve job for $ 2200, if it indeed needed a valve job. Corvette Mike did testing and stated that it needed more than a valve job and recommended a new engine. This was hard for me to believe because I baby my Corvette. I change the oil regularly, etc. Chris at Corvette Mike quoted me $ 4200 for a new engine. Chris then charged me $ 5000 for the engine, instead of his quoted price of $ 4200, this is outright dishonesty. Then Chris charged me for many additional parts such as a harmonic balancer, engine covers, etc. If you price LS2 engines online, they all list the harmonic balancer, covers, and other parts that are included with the price of a new engine. When all is said and done, Corvette Mike charged me about $ 10,000 for a new engine plus installation, I was shocked. Chris originally quoted me $ 4200 for a new LS2 motor, and I assumed $ 2000-​$ 3000 in labor, so I was expecting to pay somewhere between $ 6200-​$ 7200 for the complete job. So I feel I paid $ 2800-​$ 3800 too much. I complained and they refunded me my airfare of about $ 200 to fly down and an additional $ 300. So that still makes me feel like I still paid between $ 2300-​$ 3300 to much. So if you go to Corvette Mikes for engine repair, expect to pay much more than what you expect to pay, and or learn from my mistake and get a written estimate in writing before they begin any work. Also, it took Corvette Mike over a month to complete the job, so don’t expect to have your Corvette back in a week or two. I expected so much more from Corvette Mike. Corvette Mike claims they put a new motor in my Corvette and it failed, so they had to order a second motor. So maybe Corvette Mike charged me for the labor to install both engines, but they claim that wasn’t the case.
Why are there only a few reviews of Corvette Mike?

I recently took my C6 Grand Sport in for repair. The vehicle had a vibrating noise coming from the rear which worried me as I thought it may be the differential. Chris changed the diff oil and after taking my car back the noise returned instantly. I called again to note the problem was still there and came back in to drop my car off again. Within 24 hours the problem was fixed (exhaust alignment) at no additional charge to me. Chris and the team were very responsive, professional and upfront. I’d highly recommend them for any Vette owner.

Brought my car in because of a Service Active Handling issue. The tech Chad was able to figure it our rather quickly but wanted me to drive it the next day to make sure the light would come on again. The reasoning for this was because he didn’t want to do any unnecessary repairs if he didn’t have to. So I went back in and drove the car and the light did come back on. So he went to work and replaced the necessary parts and so far everything has been good. I am impressed with his honesty and looking out for the customer. I have had other cars worked on here before and I’ll keep coming back. Thanks Chad!

I am not a big complainer, alot of times I give waiters a break, for example, when I see the place is busy. Or perhaps not getting good service once because of just a number of factors. But seriously, this place takes the cake.
I have gone to this place three times, count them, THREE to look at Corvettes. Don’t ask me why I came back, I just figured they had been busy and it was just there at a bad time. I was considering up-​trading my 1970 Corvette Coupe. I saw a few models I liked when I drove by, so I went in, and parked MY Corvette right in front of their large car entrance. Not to mention, I was in a sport coat, so I could not be mistaken for a looky-​loo.
Guess what, I was there 45 MINUTES and no one would help me. Three guys were off to the side on phones or walking around, they could not be bothered. I even waved to one of them. Nope. I stayed around that long mainly for laughs, just to see how long it would take someone to at least acknowledge me. There was no way they did not see me. I walked up and down, examined a nice 1962, even a GTO was in there. I went way back around the corner to examine the stuff in back, and returned to about 10 feet away from them, no dice.
So I get it Corvette Mike. I guess you had bigger names on the phone, whatever. No problem.
You don’t want my business, you won’t get it, as well as anyone else I know that might be interested in a Corvette.

From what I have seen thus far, I like being able to come to a Corvette specialists with a history in the community. As a 15 year Corvette owner/​driver, I like doing business in the Corvette community. I am putting together a long range plan for maintenance and upgrades. Let the fun begin. Available parts and professional service. I like it.
