Absolute professionals that really know your Corvette. Going to the Chevy dealership is a waste of time and money. Z06 with 8000 miles and was told my catalytic convertors were toast. Could not pass emissions. Rebalance injectors, reset O2 sensors and took it to pass inspection and magic it passed. Engine light off. Thank you for your knowledge and assistance. read more

Have a brand new 2025 Corvette. They chipped the back window. Had to know they did it when installed. 200k plus corvette and don't treat it well. Never would take anything to them again. If you want someone to take care of your car take it somewhere else. read more

Luv my 2011 Corvette and wont let many places touch it, but this is a trusted mechanic. They are honest and forthright; and prices are fair compared to others in the area. read more

Years ago my engine was supposed to be rebuilt, i later found out it was not but paid for full rebuild . The cylinders were supposed to have been bored, later teardown revealed it was stock bore, no rebore. Took my vehicle to another shop Who discovered the misrepresentation Rich blamed the "engine rebuilder". Good luck with these guys. read more

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! read more

Dropped my 98 c5 off Thursday around noon. No call back. I had to call them on Friday and I left a message. Still no call back on Saturday. Didn't get a hold of them until Monday around 230. Mainly dropped it off for an oil change Key fob retraining Tpms service 2 small plastic rivets on exterior door panel i needed battery tray to get new hold down. $145 for oil change $135 for key fob training $169 to remove door panel and pop in two plastic rivets (super easy) $116 just to add 4 bolts to battery tray. $80 to look at rear view camera install with no fix $652 total They did nothing with my TPMS sensors. Only one key fob worked. I sat outside for 20 minutes while tech tried to fix it. He said I can't fix it and handed me the keys and that was it. I will never get ripped off by these people ever again. All he had to do was actually call me back and let me know what was about to need done like they said they would instead of just doing it. If you have little minor things that you could probably do on your own make sure you do them and not let these people do take it to them. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've been taking my 1991C4 to Corvette Connection for over 20 years. The team at Corvette Connection has routinely been able to diagnose and fix complex problems where other garages and shops could not. Whether it's routine maintenance or high performance modifications I trust no one else other than CC to handle it. Professional service, knowledgeable staff and great customers is why I only trust Corvette Connection to work on my Vette read more

Corvette Connection - Auto Repair Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I took my 2003 Corvette to many repair shops, including a Chevy Dealer, regarding my shocks that bottom out and ride very rough. No one could figure out why. Corvette Connection figured out in 2 minutes that the shipping blocks, that prevent the car from bouncing during shipping, had not been removed by the dealer at delivery. Its been like that for 16 years. I even asked a Chevy dealer specifically to check for that recently since I saw posts on the internet about this common problem. These guys rock! I almost blew a ton of money to replace the shocks for no good reason. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I have had a wide variety of Corvettes from a 68 to a 2000, I have known Rich from when he had a 6 bay shop in Arvada. Very attentive and professional. My last car a 2000 fixed roof, had major work done, Magnacharger, heads, exhaust and paint, excellent work and the car has won many trophy's. Definitely a customer for life read more

I had a corvette suck up some water through the intake. I called the Corvette Connection for an estimate. Rich (the owner) convinced me to let him handle the insurance company. Handle them he did. He got them to issue $10,000 for a replacement engine. He told me if he does the job he could build me a 383. I gave him the car excited about my new, more powerful engine. Through regular communication, after he had time in the job he told me there was no way he could do a 383 for that cost. I reluctantly agreed to a new crate motor. Two months later I had it back. The NEW engine had valve train noise that he says is normal even though NONE of the other LS engines in any car I've been near have that ticking. It is sluggish and it chugs when the cruise is set. Oh yeah! It won't pass emissions! It did, however, pass emissions a month before Rich got the car. After I got it back, it doesn't. Rich and I have been arguing about this failure for about four months. Lucky for him, in those months the three month warranty expired. Oh yeah, and the job came in at over a thousand dollars over budget. This was out of my pocket since the insurance doesn't cover things like a new clutch. And Rich wouldn't let me supply the one I purchased from Hays for $200. I had to use his $1000 off brand POS that slips. He said the Hays 'may' need shims to align properly. He wouldn't know for sure until he installed the engine and made it run. If it did need shims he'd have to charge me for the removal and reinstall. By this point I was starting to speak Rich's language. This translated into, 'weather or not it needs shims, if you don't let me over charge you for 'my' clutch yours will need shims.' By the way, When I told Rich that Hays says their clutches NEVER need shimmed he says they almost always do. He has blamed the exhaust, which wasn't an issue before he touched the car. (The same headers new Magnaflow cats and Basanni cat back system it had when he got the car) Rich says he couldn't properly tune it due to exhaust rubbing the body. It didn't rub before he got the car. I know because only months before the engine failed Rich and his team tuned the computer for the headers and exhaust and he reported no issue. I repaired the rubbing exhaust myself. It was improperly installed when they set in the engine. At no time did Rich suggest he had any fault. He did weld the cats in place since he said the exhaust 'leaks' are an issue. This was at no cost. Also this did NOTHING to help the car. After the install the radiator overflow/expansion tank mysteriously began leaking while the car was in his possession. He was kind enough to let me buy a new one. The intake manifold bolts were loose enough that I could turn a few by hand. I found two vacuum leaks from unhooked sensors. The alignment is off. The car is no longer a joy to drive but an embarrassment. It ticks and rattles at stop lights and the attention it draws is not the attention that a corvette should draw. I have since sold the car. The new owner reported that when Rich and his team installed the cam they bent two push rods. Also the three lifters had seized rollers and have worn the cam lobes. Further, the new owner dismantled the engine to clean it since the crankcase was littered with cam shavings and found that the cause of the vibration was a missing bolt in the new clutch pressure plate (that the Corvette Connection installed) as well as an out of balance flywheel. Do NOT use the Corvette Connection. They are not professionals. They are simply parts replacement guys. And bad ones at that. This was a miserable experience. read more

Rich and his crew are awesome they do a great job are super helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Corvette Connection!!

I was referred to the Corvette Connection by a colleague whose thought the company may have some value despite their inability to diagnose a trouble code on his vette. Initially I took my vette in to have a squeak in the front suspension fixed-I got a bill but squeak remained. I then had a problem with difficulty starting-would start and immediately die. Took it to Rich and told him that I needed the problem diagnosed. This was in the Spring of 2014. Despite communication with Rich I did not get a 'diagnosis' that the issue was the MAF sensor until around October. I asked him to repair the air-conditioning, horn and the issue with the suspension (again). Nearing the end of November Rich called and gave me a laundry list of items needing attention-transmission leak, rack & pinion leak, etc. I asked what I owed him thus far and the bill for diagnosis and replacement of the MAF sensor was around $600. I asked him about the other items that he was to fix and received a vague response that the MAF sensor was the only item fixed (only took them over 3 months-incredible). I advised Rich that I would have to consider my options on the other repairs and suddenly they needed my car off of their lot immediately-he called twice to remind me. I understand that diagnosis of issues such as my starting problem are difficult and can be costly so I cannot ding them on this, however their is no reason that the job should take over 3 months. Not remembering-let alone addressing-the other items that I wanted fixed when they had the car so long was probably a blessing or they'd have my car until 2016 at the rate of their 'repairs'. Poor service. Unreliable. As an aside, the nightmare of my experience with the Corvette Connection was enough to make me donate my vette to Colorado Public Radio. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Update....Corvette connections motor they built me in my street driven 2002 Z06 lasted for about 3000 miles before it began to come apart. Tore the motor down... They charged me over $13,000 for a forged motor, they used a stock oil pump, stock timing chain, stock crank, cylinder bores were 3 different sizes which was the main cause of the knocking noises. (piston slap). Also the the rod bearings were already going out. I have no idea how these f$%^ers are still in business. read more

This guy Rich lenhart should be in jail for what he's done to my Vette and many others,just ask around town it seems every good performance and paint shop has had to repair his work,Tried to sue him but he knows other shops won't get in between a lawsuit so he'll screw you and get away with it. E-mail me for more info: mjbartolo@me.com To elaborate: Rich was offered to do an estimate to replace my front and rear fascia of my 76 stingray and paint to match,my corvette was recently painted and was a beautiful pearl Blue at the cost of 6000.00 from a dear friend,Rich estimated 13.K to complete the job asked,he had my Vette for 6-months before even starting my car,then when I told him to either get it done or I would take it somewhere else he proceeded to ruined my ride,He DA sanded all my chrome -he got red paint in my interior also over sprayed on my seats and belts-removed screws from my dash and left it hanging and now my wipers don't operate.He miss aligned my doors and hood on purpose ,he did not remove to paint-just to mess up alignment -he picked away all my weather stripping and now the car is not water proof -he tore up my carpet both on floors and rear deck,he was asked to save me the old fascias which he torn in pieces and not worth anything but the trash now,Rich could not match color but painted the car anyway with orange peel everywhere and then clear coated outside in the wind because you can run your hand down the sides and feels like sand paper.He was asked to check my timing at the time of writing my check to him but when I picked up my car he stated he dose not work on corvettes with a distributor only electronic ignitions,And to top it off he put air in my brake lines so I would crash on my way home and this is true because the brakes were just completely re-done at Corvettes only and have the paperwork to prove it.I was told by Police that I should have call them at the time i pulled over on highway and had my corvette flat bedded home the rest of of the way after almost crashing it and he would have been charge with attempted Murder,so after reading this my hopes are I can save some folks the trouble I had and that this guy gets put out of business for good.All said and done I waited 10 months and my corvette is worth nothing now. Stay away from this outfit,there's several other shops that handle corvettes and he is not the only game in town as he may think.What a rip off and I hope Karma gets him soon!!!!!! read more

I had my old Stingray repaired by Rich and his boys... My old Stingray was smacked in the rear by a DUI and needed the rear plastic, exhaust , and some other parts.. Insurance work. After 5 months or so, I give Rich a call to see how the car is coming, I find out they have not started any work yet , Rich mentioned to me he did not know I would want to Dive the car so much or so soon.. I am thinking to my self.. What? AT any rate, I pressure him to get the work started. The work starts. I come down every couple of weeks to see the progress.. Rich shows me his Corvette he is building for the Drags... Great !! But I want my car finished.. Finally my car is done, so I thought and get the car about 1/4 mile from them and the engine starts to lay down, I bring it back, and a mechanic finds one of my electric fuel pump leads lose.. Makes it tight.. I get home ok.. Wash the car and find water swimming pool around my gas cap.. I find the drain line kinked and pinched against some of the plastic work they had done. I fee it, and it drains.. Yea !! As I am doing this... I notice the new rear plastic is flapping all over.. I take it back.. The Mechanic tells me the braces used are optional.. I asked where are they? He finds them since he removed them. I ask that he puts them back.. He does.. All is fine There. Did I forget to mention that I could not get my hood open? Took it back twice to have it fixed, Finally fixed that myself as well. And on and on and on.. There is more. You can find some videos on Youtube about this as well.. Bottom line is that if Rich cared as much about Customer cars as he does his own car, he would have a great Business fixing and servicing corvettes.. read more

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. read more

I recently bought a 77 vet . the smog motor only has 77,000 miles but is still a dog and in need of help . I have built and installed several small blocks but wanted to do something different so I called the d bags at corvette connection and talked to the head d dag Rich . Just a short phone call all he could do is talk about how fast his vet was and I could come down and look at it and the pictures of him racing . when I finally got him to answer some of my questions all he could do was correct my terminology and talk down to me like I was stupid for asking questions . I finally had enough of his line of B S when he told me he could do a top end "kit" cam , heads, manifold and carb for 10,000 $ . When it boils down to it I wanted to build a 383 with a blower and go to a tuned port E F I . And I could do it myself for about 5000 $ . But after our conversation I came to the conclusion that Rich caters to a very specific clientele And that is people with to much money and a lack of automotive knowledge . Before you let him do any work on your car get a second opinion if you need the work and how much the work will cost. He is not the only shop in town . He is not the only performance shop in town . And last but not least , Hey Rich I'm going to build my 383 I am going to put a blower on it I am going to install the E F I and I am willing to pay some one to install it and make it work and it won't be you . read more
