Services
Rich Lenhart saw a need where there was none - create a shop that would provide service and products just for Corvette owners that are passionate about America's best sports car. Since 1988 we have been there for Corvette owners! No one else in the region has the experience, expertise and knowledge.
If you would like to see what your stock Corvette can do in the quarter, this is your opportunity. These cars are remarkably stout and can take it. If you would like to go beyond stock, Corvette Connection can help you go as far as you desire. Join the team that will advise and share their knowledge. Go to our Facebook page for updates about racing, car shows and other events for Corvette enthusiasts.
As a specialist Corvette only business, we don't prepackage what we think you want for your C5. It's important for you that we create your combination of parts, modifications and upgrades. Not what we want but you want! Every Corvette is different as is every Corvette owner. Performance, efficiency, looks and budget all come together for the perfect total package.
In February I decided to put a supercharger on my car in addition to the other motor work that had already been done. This required a new hood, new modified fuel rail covers, etc. And the paint had to match perfectly. Nathan, master mechanic, did an excellent job putting the motor together. There were no leaks or loose screws.

These guys are awesome, very knowledgeable, friendly and the price is reasonable. Did my vertical doors and it came out great as expected, I just may take it back to do minor adjustments and hide the wires a little better when it gets warmer

The best way to measure customer service is when things don't go as planned. I brought in my 1989 Corvette which had numerous problems. Tim took the time to do things the right way. We had some vendor issues which was no fault of Corvette Connection. Tim communicated everything along the way. I felt like Tim was not just working on a customer car but his own. The way he meticulously ran wires, installed new components was top notch. These guys know Corvettes and take the time to do it RIGHT. Thank you guys a million!

Really like Rich and his crew. This is a top notch shop. I can see why they are rated a top 100 corvette shop in the nation. I have a 77 vette that had a problem with vapor locking in extreme heat. The car died on me a couple of times this summer when we hit 100 degrees. After doing some research and googling vette shops near me I found corvette connection.

Boy am I glad I did. Went in to meet Rich and I could tell he was a straight shooter. He suggested switching to fuel injection and after seeing his shop full of vettes I took his advice. He got some electrical issues worked out. Got my windows working correctly and switched the motor to fuel injection. And repaired some oil leaks and a tranny leak.

His mechanic John is a great guy who pays attention to deal and is also very organized. You can tell by the pictures provided all this work was done by John. In the end I'd give corvette connection 10 stars if I could. I read some reviews on them complaining about pricing. My advice is you get what you pay for. Good mechanics are not cheap and cheap mechanics are not good. I will diffenitly be back to corvette connection and they have gain a customer for life.

I had a guy rear end (on the cell phone) my 2016 Corvette. It destroyed the right rear quarter panel, wheel tire rear tail piece and most of the right rear suspension. After taking it to the repair facility my insurance company recommended they told me that did not work on Corvettes. That is when Rich and his shop got involved. After a few months of chasing parts and dealing with the insurance company, color matching paint etc, I picked up my repaired vechile a few days ago.

I cannot express my appreciation enough to Rich and his guys for the outstanding work they did. You honestly cannot see any flaws in the fit and finish of thier work. I would highly recommended Corvette Connection for any type of work you need on your Corvette. These guys know exactly what they doing when it comes to Corvettes. Thanks guys.

I bought my C5 about 2 and a half years ago, and have had a few incidents, I found these guys and they have always done a great job, Rich and Joe are always very helpful, when it comes to my Vette this is the only place I will bring it to, they fix it, and fix it right the first time.

I wish I could give them 0 stars! I would NEVER recommend this place! I took my Vette to them knowing I was going to pay more then the dealership, thinking they would do a better job. I was VERY WRONG, I took it in to do a head gasket, on a running driving car, I took their recommendation, & had them do extra work (both head gaskets)! I had always treated my car like gold!

When I got it back it would burn a quart of oil every 80 miles, I had never lost a drop of oil out of my engine, even with the blown head gasket. When went back to them, with my concerns, they just sat there & acted like I hadn't just handed them $3700, I asked how it could be checked, they said they could do a leak down & compression test, so I agreed. Then they handed me a bill for another $300, & told me they had done a great job. I took it back to the deal, it cost me half the price & the car was perfect now!

Kim and Rich at Corvette Connection really took care of me. As I brought my 73' vette in to have the heater core worked on and decided since I was there to have them look my baby over. When it was all said and done my 73' hasn't run any better. There were some issues but Rich and Kim were able to resolve them asap and get me back on the road again. I will be taking my car in here for all my needs no matter how big or how small. Thanks so much!

Rich has a great reputation, and the shop has built some awesome cars, just ask them. Upon first contacting Corvette Connection, the staff was very friendly, and I was fairly optimistic that they could help me out with my Corvette troubles. But when the time came to actually do the job I asked, I was met with an unexpected condescending attitude and was treated quite insultingly.

I would suppose if all you want in a shop is to drop your car off and write them a blank check without regard to cost, you will most likely drive away from this shop very satisfied and the work will most likely be done right and done well. But if you have any special unorthodox request that might require some out of the box thinking, I'd be wary. After my experience, I severely doubt I will ever darken their doorstep again. And I also get the feeling that they are alright with that.

Rich and team are the only ones I will take my Corvette to. I had made the mistake once of thinking another shop could handle a simple oil change, and they messed even that up. Never again will I take my car anywhere besides Corvette Connection. I have had them do a little of everything (repairs, paint, smoking out breaklights, supercharger install, tune, etc.) and never have been disappointed. If you have a Corvette and want a shop that knows what they are doing, then look no further!

Went here about 6 weeks ago to see if they could fix my heating/Air conditioning issue and was told by Rich that he'd call with a price. Never heard back from him, so I ended up having the work done by the Chevy dealership. Thought I'd give them another try because they specialize in Corvettes, and I wanted someone who knew what they were doing, but was disappointed again.

I left my car there on 6/17/17 to have the Radiator cradle replaced while I was on vacation. I was told by Rich that he'd call with a definite price later in the week and the car would be ready by the time I got back on 6/23/17. I never heard from Rich. After returning from vacation I call to see if my vehicle is ready. Rich couldn't remember me, my car, or what I was having done.

He couldn't even tell me if the car was ready. Since I was in the area, I decided to just stop by. I walk in ask if my car was ready and. NOT ONE THING WAS DONE. THEY DIDN'T SO MUCH AS BREATHE ON MY VEHICLE THE ENTIRE TIME IT WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION. Rich proceeded to blame his "Shop manager" for the work not being done, and that he could "Get it done today". No--You had my car for 7 days.

I was told it would be ready to go when I got back, and yet nothing was done. I will never use or recommend this place. I gave them two opportunities to earn my business. Rich-- Corvette Connections failed to produce results on both occasions. Is Rich nice? Yes, but I was paying for services to be done, and I left with my car still in need of repair.

Now I'm forced to find someone who WANTS my business, values my time, and will perform the work they promise. Save your money and find someone who will actually perform the work they say they will do.

My first experience with CC was very positive. I also was looking for a place that would service my 1989 C4 L98 Corvette, has less than 22K miles on it. I found CC on the internet and decided to try them, called for an appointment & Rich answered the phone, surprised to find out that he was the owner, probably spent 15 minutes speaking with me re my car then xferred me to Joe for appointment (spent several minutes on phone also with me), got me in the next morning first thing. Driving into facility I noticed everything nice and maintained, parked went inside to a very clean and fresh office, meeting Rich & Joe as if we had known each other for a time.

My repairs were done while I waited, after repairs were finished and car was still on rack Tim gave me a quick tour and gave me a couple of suggestions re my car. My service was outstanding and friendly and even tho I live about 50 miles away I will return and I recommend them very highly.

I just recently purchased a 1975 Corvette Stingray and needed a place to get it serviced and maintained. I have driven past this place for years and finally had a car worthy of going here. I was a little intimidated at first going here as I am by no means a car guy and this is my first "classic" car. Joe V the service writer has been an awesome guiding hand in the whole experience.

Nice guys that are honest and straight up with both the part pricing and hourly work pricing. I have been pretty intense on timelines because summer is ending and everyday the car is in the shop is one less I get to drive it, and they appreciate that. Every deadline has been met and they go above and beyond to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

They even let the technicians take the time to personally walk me through everything they are doing on the car and point out things I should keep an eye on and just teach me about all the nuances of owning an old car. Any issue they have found they have never pressured me to fix it only notified me of it and how much it would cost if I feel that it would be necessary, but they just want to make sure the car is reliable and safe which I appreciate.

These guys care about corvettes and better yet they have been awesome mentors to owning my first classic corvette, I don't really know what more you could want out of a shop.

Rich and Thomas put a ProCharger on C7 Corvette. They did a great job! I highly recommend them for any LS work or to put some boost under the hood!

Just picked up our new C7 fully upgraded by the excellent staff. Everyone is very knowledgeable and wants to take the time to understand the customers needs and how to fit that with the excellent service! I highly suggest Corvette connection for all of your performance tuning needs.
