Testimonials

Purchased a 2023 coupe with help from Matt. Extremely easy purchase with the team at VB. Price was fair and quality of the Vet was excellent. Purchase was smooth and easy. Highly recommend doing business.

Matt Fagenbaum has been great to deal with on the purchase of my new 2026 C8 Corvette Stingray Z51 Coupe! He has kept me informed during the allocation process, order availability, and status of my order. Plus, he has answered all my questions in a timely manner. Now I’m just waiting to pick up my new Corvette (the wrong dual racing stripes were applied by a third-party vendor near the Bowling Green assembly plant.) Van Bortel is having their PPF guy replace the stripes and apply PPF and Ceramic Coating to my new Corvette.

My Experience started last October, I traded in my 2SSRS Camaro towards a 2025 C8 Stingray Coupe at Van Bortel Corvette. Van Bortel Corvette is the Number 1 dealership in our area. They gave me a great deal on my Camaro and put my order in for a 2025 C8 Corvette Stingray. My Salesman Matt Fagenbaum took the time to put in my order and to make sure all of my options were included. Matt’s knowledge of the Corvette made the experience easy and fun. My order was accepted by GM for production but for unknown reasons my car was never built. Matt kept me informed during the whole process. The order never moved to Production status and was never built. Matt called me and told me that GM wasn’t going to produce my Corvette! He said he could get me a Corvette from another dealer, but I wanted the car that I ordered. He called me in June and said he had an allotment for a 2026 C8 Corvette, He took the time to make sure my 2026 Order was exactly what I wanted. The 2026 Corvette was ordered and excepted by GM. The Corvette made it to Production Status and was produced. My 2026 Sebring Orange 2LT C8 Stingray was VIN #9. My Dealership Van Bortel Corvette is Number 1, and my salesman Matt Fagenbaum was exceptional from start to finish.

I purchased my 2009 corvette c6 from this dealership and got a extraordinary sales and service couldn’t ask for a better team of professional people listen and answer all your questions give you direct answers great place to purchase your next car.

Working with Matt was a great experience. Buying cars sight unseen is usually risky business. Matt let me know every little flaw with personal videos to ensure I know what I was getting. The purchase went smooth. They expedited the paperwork and even sent a return slip expedited! I was very pleased that they knew I was excited to get my car and were on my side to make the process quick and painless. I would not hesitate working with them again in the future. Van Bortel and Matt for the win.

Having purchased many cars over my lifetime and like others experienced the PAIN and mental abuse, and anguish it takes to get through a car purchase with unscrupulous, shady, manipulative, lying dealerships and the array of games and schemes they play during the purchasing process. I can tell you it was a breath of fresh air buying a vehicle from Matt Corvette specialist and Van Bortel Chevrolet of Macedon, NY. No games, no hidden fees, no add ons, no lies, no manipulation, everything was as advertised and as promised. This deal was done completely by mail, and text messages. Car was delivered right to my garage door literally, and they are in Northern NY, and I am in Mid NC. If your looking for a great price, with excellent CS and no BS, this is the dealer for you. No matter where you live they will take care of you.

I bought a C5 corvette in need of substantial work to bring it up to snuff. My local mechanic strongly suggested I take my car to Van Bortel for their expertise with Corvettes. It might cost a bit more, he said but you’d be assured it would be done right. Their service staff suggested the best and only harmonic balancer they would install. The work was done well and on time. A second visit ended with a perfect 4-wheel alignment. John asked me to take a drive with him to assess his work! Never had that happen before.

First about myself I am a retired GM dealer from Wisconsin, dealership was started by my father in 1937 so I understand customer satisfaction. I only hope I treated my customers a good as I was treated my Matt Fagenbaum and Van Bortel . Everything from the buying process to delivery was first class. After purchase and driving car back to Wisconsin check engine light came on Matt told me to take it to my local Chevrolet dealer and have them check it out. Found a couple of bad injectors Matt told them to take care of it and they would send them a check The entire process was flawless I would just like to thank everyone for the way this was handled. If you are thinking of buying a Corvette from them you will not be disappointed a truly first class organization. By the way vehicle was C7 and it was even better than I anticipated. Thanks for the great deal.

Every business should provide the customer service that we got with Matt Fagenbaum. His calm demeanor, in-depth knowledge and no pressure style was uncomparable. From the moment I spoke to him on the phone to the time I drove off in my 2023 Corvette I felt appreciated as a customer. If I buy another Corvette, I want Matt to handle the deal.

Bought a 2002 in 2019 and traded back for a 2016 a couple months ago. Jon is easy to work with and fair. Super nice guy. Don’t look elsewhere when you are ready. They get quality cars.
