J & D Corvette

I have only had J&D repair one thing on my 1996 CE LT4 so far but they did a great job and did not charge me. I was also gifted a couple of small hard to find parts and have purchased some parts from J&D. I have had a lot of issues with other Corvette shops and now perform most of my own work. That said, I might have to give these guys a try for all things service related in the future. They seem to be knowledgeable and have a very large pre-​owned parts selection. I recently saw a restoration that they did and the car looked pretty nice.

Had a great experience with J&D Corvette. I worked with Noe, one of the two owners, and found him to be nice, honest, and timely.
I visited J&D when my 94 C4 was hesitating. He diagnosed the problem as a faulty opti-​spark, which is a common problem with this model. For $ 750 parts and labor, I got my baby back running like brand new.
Having looked at the maintenance records on my car, I could tell that a previous owner had gotten a bad deal at a shop in Costa Mesa. That shop had charged him $ 1200 parts and labor for a «rebuilt» opti-​spark. Noe at J&D informed me that these rebuilt optis aren’t very reliable, and that that’s why mine had gone bad.
So, for $ 450 less, I got an original Delco/​Delphie opti-​spark installed. Two months have passed, and it still runs like a champ.
Also, as a side note, I see gorgeous stingrays here every time I visit. If these drivers trust their babies with J&D, I figure, so can I.

Best of the best! Again this place amazes me, was at a different shop to get my car tuned and had a bad check engine light code popping up. So I decided to bring it here because the other place is only good for tunes. They found it was just a bad blub and fix my wheel pressure monitor also. Thanks again c-​5 owner

Beware!!! This place a complete rip off. I took my 06 vette here with 29 k mi to have a starter replaced. First of all they had my car for over a week and I had to call them to find out what the status was at which time they said oh we will be working on it tomorrow. After about a week and a half I was notified that my vehicle was ready. I went to get my car and immediately went to the beach to watch the sunset. After turning the ignition off I smelled coolant and upon raising the hood I discovered a leak coming from my water pump. I took it back to this aweful place and it was confirmed that the water pump was leaking. My contention was I didn’t bring to them in that condition why am I receiving it in this condition and the only thing Noi could say «well things happen» and that’ll be another $ 500.00 a few days later I got a call from Noi suggesting I replace the belts because coolant had spilled on it. I thought whatever I’m a grand into it now why not.
After this repair I started my vehicle and smelled coolant, I made mention of it to Noi and the mechanic who claimed they didn’t smell anything so I chalked it up to me not working around cars all day and maybe that’s why they didn’t smell it. A few days later I was on my way to get my hair cut on a nice Saturday morning and had great plans to cruise the city after dumping so much money into my vehicle. Upon reaching my destination my coolant warning came on indicating low coolant and I noticed the temperature was almost to over heating. Not wanting to further damage my vehicle I called NOI and informed him of my dilemma and my displeasure with the service I had been receiving from day 1. NOI sent a tow truck to tow my vehicle back to the shop much to dismay but what other choices did I have at the moment rt. well yeah you guessed it they found a leak in the radiator are you serious!!! A hairline crack in my radiator at this point no one had to tell me twice this place is a complete rip off. It is my opinion that they created these mishaps knowing they would do the repairs. Well wrong this time I politely went there got my keys topped off my coolant and brought my car home. They will «never» get a chance to touch my vehicle in this life
Do yourself a favor and go to the dealer I know it’s more but ur better off in the long run

Since my C6 was still under my extended warranty, I took my car to the dealership to fix my hatch that would not open with the remote. My service advisor informed me I was in need of new brakes and rotors for the front and rear. The estimate was about $ 1100. Since I quit my job, I was not comfortable with the quote. I called a local Corvette specialist who served my C4, but they were not open on the weekend.
After locating J&D, I remembered consulting with them in the past and the estimate was considerably less than the dealership’s. I felt comfortable with them since Corvettes is all they do. The dealership tried to tell me aftermarket parts were put on my car and this is why my rotors would need to be replaced. When I informed him only the dealership in Las Vegas serviced my car prior to relocating to back to LA, he could not rationalize why there would be a problem.
After speaking with Noe and Adrian, I was reassured my repair could be done on Saturday and they took the extra measure of ordering rotors in the event it was necessary. When I explained to Adrian what the dealership told me, I was informed a tool was used to determine if my rotors were acceptable. When going over my bill, I was elated to learn, I would need rotors for the rear only the next time I got brakes providing I changed them timely. My bill was less than $ 450 and I was extremely happy. Since my extended warranty expired last month, there is no need for me to frequent the dealership.
Honest people. Experts with my favorite car. I will definitely return for future needs.

I’m so very thankful for such a A1 Corvette Service and body shop. I have an 2013 Grand Sports Vette that I accidently brushed against a pole in my garage. I was devastated of course thinking my insurance will go up if I place a claim. If I pay cash the cost will be not what I want to deal with during the Christmas season.
However, Noe was superb in getting my car brand new again in just under several hours. The Corvette technicians/​mechanics are an awesome crew.
The cost for the repairs was heavenly:).
I will forgo the dealership taking care of my car forever except for warranty kind of things.
Thank you D&B.

Customet service:
Really great customer service. People are awesome and very knowledgable. Noe and Adrian were extremely helpful!
Quality:
These guys have been working for corvettes for years and they know what they are doing. So far no problems and they have fixed any situation that has come up with my c3 when I brought it in.
Environment:
It’s a little bit busy here but it’s totally understandable. Lots of people come here for quality repairs and I know they wanna make sure they don’t rush a job just to get more people in the door.
Price:
I think pice is a little higher than average but yet price is open to interpretation by ones opinion. But I’m happy for the price I paid for my repairs knowing it was a quality job and I can comeback if something went wrong.

Eddye (my ’69 metallic burgundy Corvette with a whopping 427 big-​block under the hood) got scratched up by my (now former) mechanic, so the search was on for a proper restoration shop who was familiar with the nuances of fiberglass.
Then I remembered that I have picked-​up some hard to find NOS parts at J&D in Bellflower and decided to give them a call. Glad I did! The shop is managed by Noe (pronounced «Noy») Garcia — who has over forty years experience working on vettes. After talking with him for a few minutes, I soon realized that this man is a walking encyclopedia of all things Corvette. Heck, the place has been around since 1958! Being a member of the NCRS I was instantly put at ease knowing I was in competent hands.
Cut to the chase (ha); they did an exceptional job matching and blending the paint, it was a very reasonable estimate and turn-​around, and they are well versed in dealing with insurance agencies. What more could you as for?!
Many thanks Noe & the staff at J&D!!!
Insider tip: If you are thirsty and need a cold one after dropping off your ride, you have to hit the Hawaiian Room just down the street. It is a classic dive tiki bar that wreaks of nostalgia.
