First rate dealership

I felt I was treated with exceptional professionalism. My salesperson answered all my questions and the manager was equally as helpful. I love my new corvette and highly recommend others to go and get theirs at this first rate dealership.

No haggling

The dealership has kept pace with the times. Most people want to trade a car and it does no good for a dealership to state that they must see the vehicle before providing a trade in price. Van Bortel provided a solid price for my trade based on some cellphone photos. I really question if I would have driven 250 miles without having a solid price. In fact they took a potential deal away from another well know Corvette dealership by their willingness to deal via e/mail and text. When we arrived at the dealership there was no haggling just a completion of the necessary paperwork.
They even took a personal check.

Car was immaculate

First of all, the selection at Van Bortel Chevrolet was amazing. I visited 7 other dealerships in the area and none of them had more than 3, if any, of the car I was looking for. Van Bortel had a sea of them. Second, I was undecided on which model, The Grand Sport or the Z06, that I wanted, or, with the standard seats vs. the competition seats. I also knew that I wanted one with a manual transmission. I really needed to test drive these variants to be able to make a decision. Steve Kosko, the salesperson that helped me, was able to make it happen. Based on the test drives, I was able to make my decision. But wait! There’s more! Even with the great selection of cars at Van Bortel, They did not have the exact car I wanted so we had to order one from GM. Steve kept me up to date on the progress of the build every step of the way. Upon delivery, the car was immaculate, as you would expect, but not always what you get from some dealerships. Steve was very careful to not put any fingerprints on the car while he was showing me the features. He was also very knowledgeable about the car and was able to answer all of my questions. As of this writing, I have had the car for 4 days and love it!

Excellent Job

Excellent job all around. Sales service performed by Matt Fagenbaum was top notch. Having my new corvette waiting for me in the showroom was very impressive and much appreciated.

Customer for life

I couldn’t be happier with the whole process. I was looking at a used 2015 z06 to upgrade from my 2006 z06. I spoke with Matt Fagenbaum and he helped me get into a 2019 z06 convertible. I got more than excellent value on my trade in and the whole process went smoothly. Matt even delivered my corvette right to my house to complete the sale due to inclement weather. You have a customer for life! Thanks again Matt and all of the wonderful people at Van Bortel!!!

Helpful and knowledeable

Matt  did an excellent job helping with my Corvette buying experience. I was able to drive several cars before making my choice. They were helpful and knowledgeable about the cars they were selling. It was fun looking at all of the Corvettes that were an display. When I took delivery Matt answered all of my questions and showed me the features of the car. I would definitely go there the next time and recommend Van Bortel Chevrolet to any of my friends interested in buying a Corvette!

Never had a more pleasant experience

We have been married 33 years and have purchased many vehicles; this was our first Corvette purchase. For the record, we have NEVER had a more pleasant, and courteous car buying experience than this one! From the moment we stepped through the door, our salesman was a gentleman. All our questions were answered, our concerns were addressed, and it was by far the best we have experienced in a car purchase ! We will definitely be back, and will wholeheartedly recommend your dealership to others. Thank you!!
