My husband had a great experience there. They were able to fix everything when dealer couldn't. Top notch business. Owner is a master.

I dropped my vehicle off at this business to get an estimate for some work to be done. After a couple of days I was told they were ready to discuss the estimate. I was astonished at how high the estimate was (approximately $5K) for painting of calipers and replacing the exhaust tips. Even though my car has less than 16K miles on it, it was strongly recommended that I have them to resurface and or replace the rotors and pads which I thought was ridiculous. In addition to what I considered to be an outrageous upsell for unnecessary work, the owner mentioned that the deposit for the work would be 50% and the remaining paid when the work was completed. I have dealt with businesses requiring deposits before but never this high. Also, the only forms of payment they accept is cash and checks. Yet another red flag and I imagine this is because there is a processing fee that businesses pay when they accept credit cards and the business doesn't want to pay it. The nail in the coffin for me was when I told the owner I was going to think about it and get back to her, she had the audacity to tell me I just had to pay a $300 Diagnostic fee before I could get my car. She claimed that she told me up front about it and I told she didn't tell me that because if she had, I would have thought twice about leaving the car in the first place. At that point, I asked her if she had anything in writing about this "diagnostic fee" and because she didn't is when she relented and brought me my car. Her demeanor changed at that point and I could tell she had an attitude but how do you think you are going to hold someone's vehicle hostage like that. I would not recommend this place to any Corvette owner unless you have a boat load of cash and you want someone to unnecessarily upsell you on needless repairs. Vette owners beware!!!!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Do not go here whatever you do. I took in my 96 corvette and not only will they start coming up with random charges like how my battery (which was brand new and fully charged might I add) needed to be jump started since it died costing me 75 dollars, but also random fixes that have nothing to do with the car. Better yet, not once did I have the check engine light come on before bringing it to vet restoration, but after they got their hands on it did it start to come on. I was able to somehow escape with 3k out of my pocket which is still insane for a few parts and from them to fix my emergency brake. Terrible mechanics that will do more harm to your car then fix it. You are better off fixing your car yourself. I was able to fix the fuel pump, evap canister (which definitely would cost you 5k alone for them to do), headlight motor, and more for around 350 dollars and for them to do it would probably cost 10k. So in conclusion AVOID AT ALL COSTS. To the comment about residing in Illinois, I go to college there however, I live in Michigan. This review was made about 8-12 months after I had it serviced since I was reminded by my terrible experience after the topic of my corvette was brought up in a conversation with friends.Services: General repairs & maintenance

Vettestorations performed an assortment of maintenance issues and repairs on my '77, of which I am the original owner. All of those issues/repairs were addressed successfully by Mark and his technicians, aside from a persistent slow transmission leak that has been evasive in discovering the source of that leak. The vehicle was dropped off again in mid-March of 2020 to resolve the leak concern and picked up in later May. There were a couple of bumps experienced with my situation, but my car no longer leaves an annoying spot of transmission fluid on my garage floor. For that I'm appreciative of Vettestoration's efforts.

Was supposed to have my fiberglass hatch repaired, made the appointment in May, for Oct 28th. Glad i called, rather than just showed up. Suddenly they couldnt fix it....and somehow couldn't call me between May and Oct, to let me know. Thankfully Cauley Ferrari is fixing it.

Had work done to my '69 vette. Mark and Isaly were great to work with. Extremely professional and took great care to explain in detail what needed to be done and why. I was kept informed throughout the entire process. They will be the only ones to work on my car in the future. Would highly recommend Vettestorations for all your corvette needs!!

High quality service. Told me exactly what the car needed, and why. Provided me with good advice on what was needed soon and what could wait. Clean and detailed the car. Finished when they promised. Creative by fixing things instead of just changing parts. I'll be coming back again when I need Quality service from people who care.

Absolutely professional service. I called to get some information about my corvette and spoke with Mark one of the owners he was very informative and helpful. He did not beat around the bush he told me what i had to hear. I have been trying to get good answers for a long time calling all sorts of shops and taking the car to a dealer and i have done nothing but been hitting my head on a wall. YOU CAN NOT PUT A PRICE ON GOOD SMART WORK!
