The best!

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!

High Value Relationship

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!

Smooth Transaction

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!

Effortless

I made the drive to Van Bortel for their annual Corvette cruise-in with my C5 coupe. After the show, my son and I headed to the showroom and were amazed with the selection, old to new. We fell in love with a beautiful 2008 Crystal Red coupe. Matt and everyone we dealt with there were unbelievably helpful, fair and so great to deal with. They made the whole deal almost effortless and such a wonderful experience. My son was so impressed with how you treated him too. Often he gets ignored at dealerships when he wants to look at something or ask a question. As I’m sure you could tell, he loves and knows Vettes too! I look forward to being a long time customer! Anyone looking for a Corvette needs to check them out. I’m glad I did, and I’ll be back when I’m ready for a C7! Thank you to Matt, and everyone else who helped us buy our Corvette!

Well worth the trip!

Made the drive from Michigan and was well worth the trip! The car was represented correctly and showed better than the pictures ( red 1964 coupe).

Super happy

Drove two hours to look at the Corvettes they had in stock, especially a 2010 Grand Sport convertible and I could not of been more pleased. The variety of the cars was fantastic as well as the condition. I was SUPER happy with the 2010 Grand Sport after driving it and bought it on the spot. Matt was a super guy to deal with!!!!

Courteous and professional

I found Matt Fagenbaum to be courteous and professional in his handling of the purchase of my 2018 Vette from the build process through delivery. All of my questions were answered and concerns alleviated. Pricing was easy.

Kept me informed

I had a great experience working with the team at Van Bortel during the sales cycle, and fully expect that experience to continue into the service portion of my relationship with them. There was never any pressure during the cycle and the team was always very responsive right from the start. In fact, responding immediately when I connected via the web was one of the things that helps cement my purchase there. Other dealers such as Bob Johnson, didn’t respond at all. Matt kept me informed as to my options, worked with me to ensure I was happy and keep me appraised throughout the process. I would highly recommend Van Bortel.

I was thinking of upgrading my 2009 Corvette and had heard about Van Bortel Chevrolet Corvette in Macedon from a friend. We drove out and met Matt Fagenbaum. His no pressure, mild manner was outstanding and a pleasure to work with. We received amazing service from Matt and the dealership. We were able to take a new Corvette for a test drive and had the deal completed the next day on my new 2017 Corvette Grand Sport. Van Bortel Chevrolet Corvette is a great dealership to work with and is well represented by Matt Fagenbaum. We certainly would recommend both to anyone looking for a new or preowned Corvette.
