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.

AccuTech Automotive on 301 can handle any year Corvette (or car).

Bobby is a master technician. I have had my 98 and my 61 both in for him to work on.

352-748-1500....his wife Freda will answer the phone.

100% Right Accu Tech is the best shop around and very honest

George Nehas Chevy on 44 in Wildwood specializes in Corvettes.

Called them they do NOT work on 'vettes this old.

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.

Thank you for the info (probably 3 years ago), when I called I was having a problem with a ground connection, and I am now guessing they just were not interested in trouble shooting. I agree 1 hour sounds tight to me also.

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.

He also owns a corvette so is very familiar with working on them. Had ours there last month to replace driver's side window. Used him several times.
