Corvette repair
The windows on my 1985 Corvette have always worked very slowly, and now the passenger side window stopped working completely. Is there a mechanic / repair shop that services older Corvettes near the Villages? Any help is appreciated. Thanks to all in advance.

We have an '86 'vette with the same slow window problem. Try a Google and YouTube search, as i recall there were a few "solutions", as for a shop, I have been doing the work on ours but will be looking for one myself.

Corvette
Really! I called just yesterday and was told they have worked on Corvettes much older than a 1985. I have an appointment next week to have both windows repaired. I found the entire window assembly on the internet, motor included, priced at $219.00. I could probably do the job myself, but at this point in my life I just don't want to. Further, the estimated time for a good mechanic to do one window is 1 hour, but I think that is low. I would assume 2 hours per window and $219.00 per window for parts, price should be under $1,000.00. If you like I can get back to you and let you know how this goes. BTW, I also am from Pa., Bucks County.

probably your window regulator and motor......very common problem.....always spray your switches with electrical contact cleaner...humidity causes corrosion....good luck ......springdale Rich

Hi, I am having the same issue with the passenger window on my 2000 Firebird. I had a great local mechanic in Central Illinois and I am looking for one here in The Villages area.

Take it to a GM dealer service dept. You'll find that they will fix any Vette ever made when no one else will. I've had a few including a 03 ZO6 loaded and tricked out right now. And the little niggy things that crap out can easily be repaired by a GM dealer.

Thank you for the information! I took my 2000 to George Nahas for a driver's side window switch repair and was pleased with them, but I also have a '95 that I usually wait for my son to work on for me when he comes to visit. I had a great Corvette mechanic in Texas and was hoping to find one in/near the Villages that I could trust.
