Default The truth about Abel Chevrolet

Nick, Rich, & all the other personnel are courteous, professional, & proficient as previously described in numerous threads on this forum.

I had serious warranty issues that were over looked by my local dealership, so I gave Nick a call and described the issues & he immediately set up an appointment.

I was given a nice loaner, kept in the loop about the progress on parts & repairs, etc.

I was very anxious to get my '427' back, & glad to see they took great care with it, & Rich even threw in some courtesy maintenance.

Very Corvette centric shop! Special thanks to Nick for staying on top of my situation!

I definitely felt a lot more confidence taking my Vette there, especially after knowing how well versed they are on all generations. Seeing a C2 on the rack next to a "Super Vettes" custom C6. The guy that retrieved my Vette (sorry I can't recall his name), said, "Oh you have the '427', what a beautiful car!" In other words everyone seems to be aware of customers cars. You're definitely not a number!

I passed a Chevy dealer on my way there, & I made the right choice!

Many years ago Rich got me a CTS as a loaner car when my Corvette was out of service. Ever since then I love that older CTS car.

I agree with everyone else here. Had my first experience with ABEL and Tony is great!!! He worked with me on special order parts and set up the next appointment for the installs. I'll gladly take the drive from Lincoln for service there...

I've been taking my car for 7 years to wherever Rich has been. First Woodard, which no longer exists and now Abel. That is where my car's other home is!

The only place to take your Corvette or GM GMC vehicle. I say this with personal experience in hand. Also keep in mind when your in the market for a vehicle, they do sales also and we sometime forget to mention that. Good old time small town way of doing business. Thanks gang at Able.

Default Just visited today!

First time that my 02 has been to a shop as I try to self perform as much as I can(for learning purposes). I had what I suspected to be an EOP sending unit leak, so I called up Abel. I called them up at 7AM and they said they could squeeze me in same day as I had to take off of work to drive up from San Jose. WOW! Same day. So I take the drive(about 1 hour/45 min Scenic. Get there and all I see is nothing but Vettes. Spoke with Tony about what I thought I needed and added in a Full inspection, Tranny Fluid/filter replace and coolant flush for the hell of it. Turns out sender is good...Upper oil pan gasket bad. took me out to the engine bay to let me look at the leak and look over the car while its up on the rack as well as sneak a peak with the intake off.100% Transparency which I admire. ALL in ALL good experience with them. Took about 5 hours so walked into town and ate at Striper Café (thought it said Stripper?) Don't tell my wife. Good food and good service. I had a good day playing hookie from work and also have the peace of mind that my ride is running as it should. Thanks Abel-See on the 17th for the show.
