Testimonials

We just purchased our first new Corvette, after having bought ‘pre-enjoyed’ twice in the past. First time dealing for new with Matt, and it was a good experience. We have moved up a little with each trade, and now with a Grand Sport we have the car we wanted. We know the car will be great, and from past experience we know any service we need will be great too. Van Bortel has the right people.

We felt that all concerned got a fair deal with the least amount of stress or hassle. Matt was personable and very helpful; answered all of our questions and made the whole experience enjoyable. We’ll be back for another Vette in the future!

Great experience!! There was no pressure, yet the Van Bortel staff we worked with were very knowledgeable, professional and personable. I would highly recommend the dealership to anyone considering a new Corvette or any other vehicle. In particular Steve and Matt were great to work with.

I met the some of the team at Carlise over the summer and I never knew until then how many Corvettes they sell. I went the following week to look a a used one. It’s nice to see they know so much about the cars, as this is not the typical experience I have seen in the past. I started seriously looking in October and Matt was the one to help me with everything from trading in my old one to financing ect. I wish I lived closer to have your team take care of the maintenance. Just good to know I can just call and talk to someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks matt and I will be pushing hard with my Corvettes of Buffalo club to use you all thanks !!

I had an excellent experience with Matt when purchasing a 2017 Corvette. All aspects of the transaction were handled in an outstanding manner. I would certainly highly recommend Matt and Van Bortel for your Corvette buying experience.

I love my new car and Matt was courteous and professional!

We purchased a 2004 red Corvette from Van Bortel. Steve Kosko was our salesperson that worked with us. Steve is a real gentleman and above and beyond individual. Kudos to the whole staff. Kitty should be proud. Thank you so much!

Your salesperson Matt treated me so well, like he’s known me all my life! I really appreciated how he handled everything, he is the best! I live in Buffalo and I will tell anyone that’s looking for a car to come to Van Bortel, it was worth the drive!

Great, low pressure, high value relationship building sales process. Very transparent pricing and customer-focused. This is my 4th Corvette and 3rd Z06. Best experience in Rochester for sure!

I’ve been looking for a used C5 corvette since the spring. I’ve come across many with dry rotted tires, some things not working and other small issues. Van Bortel has an incredible selection that are all meticulously cared for and ready for the road. It was worth the 5 hour round trip. You aren’t buying a car that sat in a dealer lot in the elements. You are buying a car from a climate controlled massive showroom. You may find some for slightly cheaper, but they aren’t in the condition and often aren’t serviced before they hit the lot like Van Bortel. The buying process was stellar. Matt helped me and it was as smooth a transaction as I could have asked for. I came up, found the car I was looking for, and put a deposit. I faxed him my insurance info and when I would be back to pick it up. I came as scheduled and it was ready to go, a 5 minute transaction. The last thing I want on a day when I have a 5 hour round trip and already know which car I’m getting is to have to wait for dealer paperwork or any other strife. If I’m in the market for another Vette which won’t be for a while, this would be my first stop!
