Never used Pine Belt, but for any warranty work I use DeFelice in Point Pleasant. Ask for Tommy to work on your car. He is an expert Vette Tech and also part of Anger Management Racing.

I think his forum name is TomdCarGuy.

Pine Belt is in Lakewood, Ocean County. Have not heard anything good about them and don't think they have a Vette mechanic. At least I never heard of anyone using them for their Vette. De Felice is where I have my warranty work done. Tommy is the man.

I dont get warranty work done there, but Tommy is one of the best dealer techs I've worked with.

The Pine Belt in Freehold is realtively new, I think they used to be Future Chevrolet, but pretty much anything with the Pine Belt name is a huge no no.
For warranty work(or anything else)DeFelice would be the place.

I bought a Subaru Outback from Pinebelt, RT. 88 Lakewood a few years ago. Their service dept. handles all of their Makes of vehicles. I found them to be a very impersonable...almost like you were herded into and out as a customer.... like I was a number , because they are so big and handle such a volume of customers. It reminded me of the old Bob Ciasulli automall experience. They got the job done...but I didn't like that big service atmosphere....much prefered the smaller family owned, if you will, type dealership.
I recommend Defelice also, particularly with Corvettes.

Pine belt screwed me out of money big time.when i bought my truck from them they asking price from the salesman was $26,000 i bought the truck for 21k. 2 days later i saw it advertised in the new autoshopper for 20k. i went back to the dealer and got the difference back but i still could have gotten a better deal.Similar thing happened to my G/F with pine belt in eatontown.

Had some warranty work done by Pinebelt (Lakewood) The work was done properly, but when I went to pick up the car I overheard the lot guy say "I can't drive a stick shift". I was like, whoa....how about if I bring it around myself. Crisis avoided. I own a repair shop in Freehold depending on what you need done. Let me know.
