This shop was recommended to me by a friend and let me tell you it was like finding the gold pot at the end of the rainbow. Rich and his shop out did themselves and have earned a customer for life. I only had my car a few months before it went into the shop. My corvette went in for the dreaded torque tube issue and what came next was unbelievable. As the shop started taking the car apart it was discovered at some point previous there was a fire in the underbelly due to a fuel leak. It was as if a circus of monkeys worked on it. No insulation, missing bolts and none of the fuel line was secured, Evan line not secured, it was terrible. Wrong year torque tube was in the car which was a whole other issue! Rich to the rescue. Him and his team meticulously put my car back together piece by piece and walked me every step of the way. He cared about me and my safety and my car as if it was his own. Since we got her back she's been amazing! This shop deserves 10 stars over and over again! Forever a customer! Thank you guys so much! read more

Can't thank Rich enough for sorting an issue with a rattle from the exhaust on my new to me 2018 grand sport. Turns out that a previous shop had not installed the exhaust correctly, this was rapidly found and corrected, allowing me to get back on my way with a minimum of downtime and costs. I can once again enjoy my car and know I've found a great spot to care for my corvette in the future. read more

I have taken my '17 Grand Sport M7 in to Rich a couple times. I am not sure I could sing higher praises. Rich has been working on Corvettes for YEARS and I can tell you - it shows. I appreciate that he won't suggest you make unnecessary repairs on your car. His prices are lower than a dealership so if you're reading this review - ask yourself this: Would you go to a dealer where they will charge exorbitant prices, keep your car for long periods of time, and have a teenager making $17 an hour work on your car - OR - would you take your car to an honest specialist that charges fair prices, has years of experience, and provides timely service read more

Corvette Specialists - Auto Repair Near Me - San Dimas, California

Super knowledgeable and fair. Easy to work with. I trust them completely. Highly recommend.

A special shout out to Rich of the Corvette Specialist in San Dimas. After spending a lot of cash at a dealer for a repair they did not fix, Rich was able to identify and repair my Corvette's shift differential. He also discovered the work that the dealer claimed to have done and charged me for in reality WAS NOT done. Rich suggested I contact the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) and file a complaint. Rich provided all the necessary documentation, photos and the parts he replaced. I followed his suggestion, and the BAR convinced the dealer to refund my money. Thank you, Rich. I never would have known about the Bar if it weren't for you. Richard C. Sanchez read more

I feel like I am visiting family every time I take my c6 to Rich. I look forward to heading over to his shop even though it's because my car needs fixing. There are no feelings of uncertainty or skepticism. I know he's going to diagnose the problem and provide the right solution. It's not his first time at the rodeo with anything. He knows these cars inside and out. Ultimately, Rich makes the process stress-free. He's a genuine, fair man in everything he does and I can't say enough how much I appreciate him. He also did an incredible job putting a new LS3 in my partner's Chevelle as well as tying everything else together including the exhaust, stance, and alignment. Just cannot say enough how much I value the work Corvette Specialists puts out. read more

I don't have enough good things to say about Corvette Specialists. Rich and his crew go above and beyond to take care of my 2017 Grand Sport. After being ripped off numerous times by the dealer, I was referred to Rich, and I am so thankful! Not only does he find, repair/replace what needs to be done in routine maintenance inspections, he is beyond fair with his pricing! My car will never see the hands of any other mechanic other than Rich and his crew at Corvette Specialists! If you have a corvette, you need to take it there, you can thank me later! Thanks Rich for taking the best care of my baby! read more

Corvette Specialists were from the start the only Corvette mechanic shop to return my call during the winter holiday season and we're honest with me from the start. We set up the first available appointment to get a replacement front splitter installed on my C7 2019 Z06 and not only did they do a phenomenal job, they price for the installation was very reasonably priced. You can tell Richard and his staff are very knowledgeable and very honest when it comes to their clients experience and expectations. He answered the questions I had about other after market upgrades and I was not trying to sell me on anything. It's refreshing to find good mechanics and auto professionals with old school values and those hard working ethics anymore. I will only take my dream car for mechanic work to Corvette Specialists from now on!!! Thank you and your staff for a job well done. read more

Pros: Rich and his employees seemed to be friendly people. They do get the work done eventually. Cons: Very Expensive. Rich doesn't seem to be there as often so less experienced mechanics do the work (Although they are certified), it makes me wonder if the labor goes up due to the hourly work taking longer. Some of the work done on my car was sloppy. I was charged for things I didn't ask them to do. I also believe I was charged for something they damaged. They take a long time to get the work done. Looks like most people have had good experiences with them, and I'm sure overall they are a good shop. I'm just pointing out the bad experiences I had. read more

Very professional very organized and does great work and is very clear on what is recommended and why.

Awesome place to take your Corvette to! Work is top notch, and my C5 was ready on the promised date! Honest mechanics with very decent prices! read more

I called to make an appointment with this mechanical shop and the guy on the phone was very rude so I decided not to take my vehicle to their shop. If rather pay more and take it to the dealership. read more

Rich has taken care of my '07 C6 for many years, just this week he helped me pass smog by checking out a few common items that I was able to fix myself. Always friendly and very helpful. Plus he always has some very cool Vettes' in his shop to check out. read more

I am so impressed with Rich at the Corvette Specialists. He was honest and to the point and gave me his honest opinion on my Corvette. My car was at his shop for 2 days. He did the inspections and recommended me not to put any more money into fixing it. He did not even charge me for the inspection. You don't find any honest business like the Corvette Specialists nowadays. read more

Good people who know cars and love Corvettes. High marks for upfront pricing, quick turn-around. If you have a Corvette, put these guys in your phone! read more

Have a 65 vette that always needs TLC. Met Rich and he is as solid as they come. He knows what the hell he is doing and cares about doing it right. He is also not afraid to tell you whether you should do something or not. As far as the price is concerned, you get what you pay for. I have jo problem paying the price knowing I'll get solid work and comfort knowing she is in great hands. read more

Had a problem with my 2007 changing from park to reverse to drive etc etc with the automatic transmission. Rich diagnosed the problem and fixed the car to my satisfaction in a very timely manner and at a reasonable rate. I would highly recommend to any corvette owner to visit Rich whenever they encounter an issue. After this experience, Rich is definitely going to be my go to guy. Thx Rich. read more

Hello, Bringing my 82' corvette to this shop was just what the Doctor ordered! After explaining to Rich, the owner, my laundry list of work I thought needed to be done to the car, he was kind and patient with me, and listened to what I was saying. Rich told me he needed the car a short while, and he would get to her ASAP. A short while later I got the call and picked up my ride from the shop. The charges for the repairs were better than I expected, Rich was honest and fair with me on everything! Like I said, much lower than I thought it would be. After a short chat with The owner, I took off, and OMG! The car Never ran So Good! (if I can underline some words, I would) Now my dream car runs like a Bad-A$$ and I could not be happier!! These guys are so skilled at what they do, no wonder they have so many happy customers. Now I'm one More! Without hesitation, I would highly recommend this Diamond of a shop. This place Really knows their Corvettes, from 1953 to 2021! God Bless! read more

Phenomenal work. Took my C5 here after my car had 0 power running through it due to a power draw issue. Rich helped me find the draw which was coming from my window regulator and fixed it up quickly along with a bad window track. He swapped out my dead battery with one w/warranty as well. My power seats were also not working as well and he fixed it up great. In the end I had him check and change out all the fluids and the car feels like a brand new car again. It has honestly never felt better before. I definitely recommend this shop for service and fixes! Rich is a honest guy who does honest work. I have seen vintage mint stingrays and split windows at this shop. If we all trust this shop I'm sure you can too! read more

I changed the ride control shocks on my 2004 C5 and had the dreaded 80 MPH limit. No one knew how to delete the F45/F55 out of the computer. I called everywhere across the country and all the experts for help. No one seemed to know how to do the 2004 C5 as it is different from the other C5s. When I called Corvette Specialists they knew exactly what needed to be done and how to do it. I had been looking for awhile and was surprised they didn't bat an eye when I told them I had a 2004. I promptly set an appointment and drove my car from AZ to them. Lucky I had kept the old shocks as they were needed for the job. Rich Sjoberg had a great personality and took great of my car. The suspension was repaired and I was on my way home that afternoon. I also took notice of his shop. There were several nice Vettes there of various years and his shop was clean and professional looking. There are just some places you look at and you know you're in the right place. Corvette Specialists is one of them and I won't bat an eye to go back if I have another problem with my Corvette. Thanks Rich. read more

Rich and the guys are the bomb. My 77 Vette was in need of some major TLC. When I last had it running, it was like driving a brick. After about twenty miles, you started feeling beat. Greg rebuilt the suspension and now it drives like a gem. The cost was a more than fair considering the results. Do not hesitate to use these guys. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Called them up and spoke to Rich. Asked him if he could put an exhaust plate on my 07. He said, "Sure I can, but I was hoping you needed something exciting done" Anyways, he put it on and gave me a firm handshake. I will definitely take my car back when I need my front brakes done or anything else. Great guy and staff there. They earned my business. Thanks guys Keith B. read more

Rick handled my moms immediate problem with the service engine soon light with politeness and care. She is looking to sell her '98 and when she was getting ready for a buyer to come over it came on. She drove it here and he handled the simple issue effectively and put air on the tires for her. He also was really sweet with my 94 yo grandma who had some work done on her Blazer a few months ago. Yes she still drives! :). I can't recommend this place more. They are a fine example of great customer service. Thanks again to Corvette Specialists who treated my mom and grandma wonderfully. read more

Went to Rich last year and was totally ripped off. Please find my first review by going to the bottom of this page and click on the "review's we don't recommend' suggestion. For some reason they keep putting the bad reviews on the back page. You will also find another bad review from Louie there. As stated in my first review, I will take down the negative review if Rich makes it right. Most people I know who belong to the local Corvette club don't bring there cars to Rich. Like the cop he didn't treat right years ago. I have filed a complaint with the BBB. read more

My husband took his "64" Corvette to be Totally Restored that he bought when he was 17 years old. Now he's 58! WOW~UNBELIEVABLE!!! The Corvette Specialist, Rich and Gregg did an AMAZING Job! Thank you both for giving my husband that feeling of Youth again with his car. RPO, Ontario read more

Hello; I am finicky about who I have work on my cars. I went to Rich last week for 60K service. Superb communications, and work done. Will come back, as I feel Rich is sincere , honest, and capable of excellent work. I liked everything about my adventure with Rich and my service. I have a 1998 C4, with less than 60K miles. I feel safe and comfortable to go until my next check up. Straight up guy... read more

I recently relocated to CA from CT and was looking for a place to provide maintenance on my 1960 Vette. I had joined the local Corvette Club and several members recommended that I take my car to Rich at Corvette Specialists in San Dimas. WOW...was I pleased with the service and the recommendations that Rich provided. Rich and his team tuned up my Vette, changed the oil, replaced the leaking valve cover gaskets and steam cleaned the engine and engine bay. Rich was honest about what really needed done, we discussed each item prior to starting the work and the work was very affordable. My Vette runs like it did when new.....as best I can tell. Being new to CA has been a pleasure and driving my Vette in this wonderful weather makes it even more special. Thanks to Rich and his team of Vette experts. I will only take my "baby" to them for my maintenance. Thanks guys. read more

I'm driving my sister's '71 Corvette Stingray since my Mustang needs to go to the doctor. So far, they're behaving, while parked next to each other in my garage, but I can feel the tension between her 454 big block and my 5 speed V8. My Mustang knows I love him, and I'm loyal, but still...I don't do threesomes. I noticed her car was idling really low and, although I could adjust it myself, I didn't want to be seen messing around with another guy, so I did an internet search for a local Corvette specialist. I wasn't going to let just anyone under the hood of her car. I did an internet search for someone nearby that specialized in Corvette's and found Corvette Specialists. I did notice the one negative review on YELP, but it appeared that it was the only one, and since the person who wrote it said they'd remove it under certain conditions, I wondered how legit it was. The other place he mentioned had negative reviews too so... I drove over and spoke with Rich. He made the adjustment, fixed the rear view mirror that had been givin' me hell, and also checked the oil. No charge. Great customer service. I have some other concerns about her car so I'll definitely be taking it there again. read more

I took my 2001 C5 for the typical abs problem and was surprised to get the call that the abs was fine, just some loose connections. They did ask me what services I have had done and I told him that just routine oil etc. He recommended that a full service be done as I had only 40000 miles on the car over 15 years. The work was outstanding and I would recommend this shop highly. Great people, very clean shop and good work, what more could you ask for? read more

Recently took 1990 ZR1 to Rich and asked if he could diagnose a noise coming from water pump area. He checked vehicle and determined that sound was from the belt only. Quick fix and fair price. Even though ZR1's are not his favorite model to work on, he took the time to check and repair the problem. Rich was extremely friendly and helpful. read more

They are very knowledgeable and customer oriented. Took my '67 to them for mechanical updates. They performed the work in a reasonable amount of time. The costs were also reasonable. I had a couple of minor callback issues. They enthusiastically corrected the issues without any hassle. I will be a continued customer. read more

Rich has serviced three of my corvettes and most recently a 2016 Camaro I purchased last year as I've been using Corvette Specialists for at least 15 years. One year Rich did a tune up on my jet boat - BBC 454 LS7. No issues and boat ran great. Clean shop, well organized plus Rich treats the cars as if they were his own. read more

Rich and Greg are pros. They really know their 'vettes and do a great job. I have two 'vettes, a C4 and C5, and they keep them running perfectly. I keep thinking about a C6 but why? With Rich and Greg keeping my cars in perfect shape, I don't need a new car. Both are really nice guys, do great work and for a reasonable price. I have been taking both cars to them for several years now and can't say enough good things about them. read more

Had bought a 2008 Corvette from a dealership and soon after all of the lights in the Dash over a month period started coming on and the speedometer was also not working properly. He told me that he'd had to take the dash out to figure out the problem which I found out was completely false after taking it to J&D Corvette and getting it fixed. This guy also tried to sucker me into doing a bunch of maintenance work first instead of fixing the problem I came there for and wanted to charge me over $2000 which was ridiculous and I said no to that. On top of that he had the nerve to take my license plate cover off and put his own on their to advertise his company without even asking me which I didn't even notice until after I had already left. At that point I knew this guy was only interested in making easy money and doing straight to the point type of work and was not looking to have to figure out, solve or fix any real problems a person would have with their Corvette and I would not recommend ANYONE taking their car to this guy, especially if you are trying to solve problems. He just wants straight up to the point work and that's it. Very bad experience. read more

I love these guys. Back in May I bought a 1965 Corvette Coupe that had some serious "issues." Rich and Greg checked the car from top to bottom and from front to back. They explained clearly what needed to be done and why. The work was finished when they said it would be finished, and it cost what they said it would cost. And the work was EXCELLENT. The car is now everything I'd hoped for when I bought it. They are the best and they will be my guys for as long as I own my car. read more

I have a 2003, 50th Anniversary Torch Red Z06. I've never taken and wouldn't think of taking my car anywhere else for service. The front nose was hit in a restaurant parking lot once, I took it to Rich, he helped with the insurance inspection, had a new nose cone painted and installed in only a few days. The fit / installation and color match was perfect. My babe is a garage queen and show car, only driven when my wife & I feel like cruising on a nice day. Rich & Greg are the best. read more

I found Rich to be an extremely knowledgeable and pleasant person who did a great job on bringing my '91 vette back to near new condition. In a very short period of time and at an (in my opinion) unbelievably low cost. I drove over 35 miles each way to drop off and pick up my car and it was well worth it. I anticipate a few minor issues might surface after I have the chance to drive the car for a few thousand miles, and I am certain if this happens Rich will take care of them without any hassle. I recommend checking our Corvette Specialists if you have a vette that needs any type of work. read more

In June of last year (2016), I had finally recovered from a series of operations to where I could begin driving my cars again. I have two Corvettes, one a 1968, the other a 2006. A friend who did most of the restoration on my '68 recommended Rich at Corvette Specialists, when I told him that the technician I had previously used had passed away. Although I was nervous about working with a new tech, I gave Rich a try. I have to say that Rich has exceeded every hope and expectation I had about fixing my car. He addressed the primary issues I brought the car in for, i.e., brakes, steering, & suspension, then made recommendations for engine and perfor-mance issues I was also concerned about. When I got my '68 back I couldn't believe the differ-ence. It's overall performance was not only significantly better than before, but the car performed better than it ever had in my entire ownership! I should note that my wife purchased this car in 1970 (second owner), and she and I have been through numerous shops and technicians over the years. We are so happy to have found Rich. Now we know our 'vettes will always operate at peak performance, and we have Rich and Corvette Specialists to thank for it. I know I initially thought that Rich & Corvette Specialists was a little more expensive than other shops, but the results are so worth it! Once you go here, you'll never go anywhere else for Corvette service. Thanks, Rich. read more
