Review №1

The owner talked me into installing roller lifters and rocker arms on my matching numbers L-76 65 Vette. Said it would improve performance. The problem is his mechanic forgot to install the horizontal locking bars on the roller lifters which caused them to turn sideways, so instead of the pushrods rolling over the lifters, they were literally crashing sideways against them which caused the pushrods to extend higher causing them to skip off the wheels of the roller rockers and literally start crashing into the underneath side of the rocker arms themselves. Metal bits went everywhere and within 200 miles my engine had been completely DESTROYED, as verified by 3 different NASCAR certified mechanics when the engine was torn down. I provided over 60 photographs documenting the issue which was a total waste of time. Tommy Moeller did absolutely NOTHING to help resolve the issue, rather he just blamed the problem on my engine being old and tired which was absolute BS.... His mechanic, as previously stated, did NOT install the locking arms on the roller lifters. I wouldnt let that dishonest azzhole change a spark plug in a lawn mower. I only wish the check Id written him and for whatever reason he never deposited before I closed that account when I moved to TN had been written for ten times the amount. DO NOT TRUST YOUR CAR TO THIS PLACE.

I have to say these guys fought tooth and nail against the insurance company to make sure OE parts got back on my beautiful 18 SS Camaro Redline and after many phone calls and excellent updates we were able to work together to get my car back to better than when she rolled off the show room. The car came back 100% paint corrected and fully detailed. I couldnt be happier. Special thanks to Tommy Moller and J.P. for the sticking with me on the horrible Insurance battle.

Had an issue, Keith and the team fixed it and got the car back to me ASAP. Easy to find near Palmer Ranch. Check them out for your Corvette needs in SRQ.

Beware! This place is a massive scam! Will be reporting to the BBB. Had a fender bender and our dealership had the car go to them for repair. They said they would only accept CASH. We paid cash directly to Corvettes West and now the dealership is calling us saying this business is claiming we never paid. It’s a real good thing we insisted on a paid in full receipt on their company letterhead. Lying, cheating business. Avoid at all costs!

I had absolutely the best experience at Corvettes west. I took my 2008 BMW in for some insurance repair, water damage, and they were an absolute dream to work with. Repairs included bodywork, paint matching, and diagnostic work as well as reattaching sensors and fog lamps. Yes, they do engine and body work in one place!JP and the entire staff were very friendly and courteous. They communicated well throughout the process and returned my car to me very quickly. Not to mention, my car was washed inside and out clean as a whistle when I got it back!Thank you to the entire staff at Corvettes west!

I dont know anyone who would leave a bad comment, their work is great and the price is fair. Ive been going to them for about 20 years and my entire family goes there. Never an issue and they worked with me through many special requests.

Often people make promises and seldom do they meet expectations. J.P. at Corvettes West exceeded my expectations and earned a customer for life!

Horrible experience, they are rude, told me to leave, price seemed expensive I asked for a estimate PJ didnt want to because he didnt want me to shop around they dont usually give estimates if you pay cash, they where going to charge me 17 hours labor took it somewhere else 8 hours of labor. Beware owner is just as bad as the employees. They tried overcharging me on towing and storage as well.

I would never recommend another shop to ANYONE! I recently bought a 2013 535i BMW, another driver hit me soon after I bought the car. I took my car a few places for estimates, Eldridge being one of them. The gentleman that looked over my car was extremely rude and didnt seem to care about my concerns for my new car or want to give me the time of day. A friend referred me to Corvettes West, and Im glad he did. From day one I felt welcomed. Tommy the owner was very pleasant as well as Keith and JP. They made the entire process painless and even put up with me calling every other day for updates with a smile. I was extremely skeptical on car repair shops, Ive always been told that they rip you off and you have to pay an arm and a leg for decent work. Not the case with Corvettes West! My car is more perfect than before the accident (they fixed a few other things that werent caused from the accident). They detailed the inside before I picked it up and even waxed the outside for me. Hands down the best experience Ive had in a long time with customer service. A+ to the crew at Corvettes West. They will be the only shop I recommend.

I am sorry I cant give these guys 6 stars! Other than their calling our 05 Cadillac XLR a Corvette wannabe. Ha. Seriously, Randy worked solidly to help me with a shock replacement problem. Some Vettes and all XLRs have magnetic shocks. Dealer quoted $4,476. Randy and his shop were willing to experiment with a work-around utilizing Corvette shocks and Caspers simulators which has worked on Vettes. And it worked on the XLR! These guys could not have been more patient and accommodating. And especially considering this is not simple, go-by-the-book mechanics, their pricing is extremely reasonable.
