If you have a C6 or earlier I highly recommend Tony. He s been the only mechanic in the DMV area to fix my C4. Great with communication and a fair price.Do NOT cheat yourself and take your corvette anywhere else.

Tony fixed my leaking replacement targa top that I got from Melrose Top. Melrose is the only reputable place to get new targa tops, but they don't have access to OEM parts now that they are no longer produced. It is possible you will get some leaks, not to put them down. The Melrose top is far superior to my bent OEM top I used to have, big improvement! Tony went above and beyond to fix this for me, he even took parts off one of his shop's tops with original OEM frame pieces to make sure it would fit correctly. Melrose is a friend to Tony, and they corresponded during the repair. Now my car never leaks when it rains, the top fits perfectly, and I'm beyond thrilled. Tony is a very personable guy, and I highly recommend him and his staff to service any year Corvette you have. I was beyond thrilled with the results. Tony has been doing this for many years, he is one of the greatest Corvette mechanics you will ever find, perhaps on the planet! I've sent other friends to his shop and they have all been pleased. You will not be disappointed, Tony can fix any problem your Corvette might have! Tony, thank you so very much for all you do! I appreciate you, your shop, and what you did for me and my Corvette!Service: Auto body & trim repair

I took my 2015 C7 Stingray to Tony, I walked in a stranger and walked out feeling like family. They hadn't had many new corvettes come in yet and I needed a Corsa Valve Exhaust system installed. No cutting and no welding required Tony even felt bad charging me for just "plugging" in the system. His technician had it installed in under a hour and wow what a difference it made. I had bought my C7 without the NPP "Performance Exhaust" which was a big mistake and this did the trick.From the moment I walked in it was a positive experience from the beginning to end. Once the work was done they even pulled up to the waiting room and all the employees came out to look at the car, asked questions and gave conpliments.I will definitely be going back to get a cat back system installed on my new 2016 C7...the 15 was crushed by a F350...long story.

Incredibly positive experience! From initial contact via the company's web, scheduling appointments, drop-off, and through to pick-up were top notch, very professional, and well worth the experience.My Corvette had been sitting in a garage for a long time, and needed a head to toe examination. When someone else's earlier appointment was cancelled, Tony called to see if I wanted to come in earlier. I expected several days to weeks for my car to be ready. It was ready within 2-3 days.When I went to pick up my car, Tony personally went over every item he inspected, the work he completed, showed me how to use the kill switch, and spent the time to ensure I was aware of some of the other "hidden" features Corvette has.Ultimately, what really did it for me? How he treated me. Until Tony, I have dealt with every single car experience since I was 16 with "we need to talk to your Dad', "we need to talk with your husband", etc., as if, as a woman, I just wouldn't understand. But from day one, Tony treated me as the owner I am, assuming I understood EXACTLY what he was talking about. The experience was as great as the actual technical service on my car.Services: Electrical repair, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Battery, Oil change

Tony and staff did a great job on my C-3. Very thorough and attention to detail. My brakes were trash and had a complete overhaul, plus other items done. Not exactly inexpensive but quality and fair.

Tony and his team have provided me with exceptional service, and honest advise for the past few years. Knowing that Tony is available to help with his many years of expertise, makes owning my corvette all the more enjoyable! If you own a corvette, this is the best team to keep your car working perfectly!

Editing down to 1 star: Within a year of installing the new axle it started leaking from the outer CV boot. He only offered to replace the torn boot, not the axle. If replacing the torn boot was an option, why did he sell me on buying a whole new axle the first time!? He refused to replace the axle, only the boot that was torn. Beyond stupidity, I can't believe I ever left my car with these hacks. If you value your car, take it somewhere else.Original review:Took my C6 Corvette here shortly after purchase to have it inspected for maintenance and review which parts of the car needed to be addressed. I've taken it to two shops since Tony's and his shop missed a few things and told me things were bad that weren't. For example, Tony said the lowering bolts were completely seized and recommended replacing the springs front and rear if I wanted to raise the car back to stock height. I was able to replace the lowering bolts with stock bolts and turned them by hand, they weren't seized at all. Really makes me question the almost $2000 I paid him to do the other work he said was "needed". For example, his shop replaced a whole axle instead of replacing a torn CV boot that was leaking. He told me the alternator was making a noise and recommended replacing it but the problem ended up being my AC compressor clutch and bearings. This was especially troubling seeing as how he replaced the AC belt and tensioner for me and should have been able to pinpoint the noise right there. For the price I paid, I expected perfection and would never take my car back here. Tony's a decent guy but he knows how to upsell you on common failures of these cars as opposed to fixing what actually needs to be fixed. I was a sucker. Don't be like me.

Frame-off restoration of my '79 Corvette brought it into the 21st century with a Hurst 5-speed, Wilwood brakes and a GM 480 HP crate engine.

Tony went way out of his way for me. Not only did he get my '82 Vette running again, when everyone else failed, but he even offered to drive it from his shop to my house (30 miles) to pick me up and continue to be able to test the car. He's got an incredible shop and great mechanics and would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants first class service for their Corvette

Tony knows corvette s like no one else. Turned my 2006 C6 convertible into a supercharged 650 hp road eating machine. Corsa exhaust, stiffening plates and a supercharger. Anytime she needs to be tuned up or needs regular maintenance, Tony always delivers.Services: Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenanceServices: Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance

As a industry professional, the level of quality from to sales to service is hard to beat. Its weird for me to take my stingray somewhere and not be nervous. That's something that is impossible to find and lucky for me I found it at Tony's Corvette. There are some things that would be a nice improvement but they are superfluous when all things considered. Cant wait to take my C7 back for go fast bits!

Nothing but high marks for Tony and his crew. They did a terrific job on my 64 fuelie issues and brought attention to a few other items. Really glad we found this man. Kept me informed of everything that was being done. A great company. Corvette issues, call Tony.

This is an icon in the industry. I have had, and worked on C3's since the early 70's. Tony and his team are extraordinary in skill and collegiality. I thought I knew a little about Vettes....felt like a paduawan in his presence. He is the Obi-Wan of Corvettes.

I've known Tony from before there was a Tony's Corvette Shop. He's honorable and highly respected - both well earned. Tony and his mechanics are extremely knowledgeable. If you want your repair or restoration done to perfection, Tony's shop is right for you.

I m writing this review because in a world of car places always telling you that you need all kinds of extra work here s a place that s honest and different. Tony will send you pics of any repair he does and calls and explains what their.I took my car their for first time because it s hard to find a shop that will do a C5 clutch. I m interested in getting it done right the first time and I not only got that but a fair price. They a bunch of other service work while the torque tunnel was down and brought my 98 Pace car up to date.I had the front bumper replaced and the paint match is flawless. All Vette owners are very particular about their cars. Funny thing I think Tony is a perfection freak! I m 65 years old and own a C3 as well so I ve had a lot of different cars repaired. I ve never been so happy to spend money at a car repair shop! Really sounds crazy but these guys know their stuff.I took a tour of the place and they should have a tv show!

After reading all the positive reviews, I was looking forward to bringing my 2017 C7 Grand Sport to Tony for some fluid changes prior to my track day. Unfortunately, the brake fluid flush was not performed correctly. After my second session at the track, my brakes began to fade dramatically, and they never fully recovered. I had to forego the four remaining sessions of my track day, costing me around $200. After getting home, I called Tony and left a message explaining what happened. He never called me back. I had to rebleed the brakes myself, to which lots of air bubbles came out of each caliper. The brakes were 100% thereafter with six sessions at the track and no fade. They may do great restoration work on the classics, but might not be the right place for track prep if a simple brake bleed is a challenge. Unfortunate because Tony is a nice guy.Service: Brakes

Two years ago I bought a 2002 Corvette Coupe. I took it to Tony's for individual evaluation and he went over the car from top to bottom. In addition to finding a couple small things, it was a great education on my particular car. Since then I have had a tune up, installed custom exhaust and stereo equipment and general maintenance. Subsequently, I purchased a true survivor 1977 Corvette Coupe and Tony had it ready for a NCRS Top Flight Award that the car received for authenticity and originality. Tony and his mechanics do great work with the best equipment on hand. They know Corvettes and I won't take mine anywhere else, not even for oil changes. You can't go wrong with the best and that is what Tony's Corvette Shop brings everytime!

If you have a Corvette, make sure to bring it here! Honest advice, reasonable prices, and quality work. I've had a Corsa Extreme installed on my C6 Corvette, along with replacing belts and fluids. I'd bring my other cars here if they were Corvettes...too bad they aren't.

Simply put if you have a corvette and need anything, this is where you go. We spent 4 hours going over every single bolt and panel and piece in my stingray, blown away by the knowledge and enthusiasm. This is customer service to the max
