Hi Jim,
Wow! I'm amazed! And, glad I made the decision to let
your experts work on my car. The craftsmanship displayed in the photos is nothing
short of remarkable! You have my unreserved admiration and thanks.
I'll start looking at my calendar a little closer and see if I can squeeze
in a day trip for a visit. Thanks again for the outstanding work! Regards,

Jim,
I'd like to express my appreciation for the way County Corvette handled the repairs to my car.
It started with a miserable experience - having a 10 month old C-5 smashed at an intersection! Then I contacted you folks. You arranged immediate pick-up by a service that used nylon straps rather than chains to tie down the "patient," preventing further damage in transit. Then you reached agreement with the insurance company on the repairs, despite the fact that the insurers thought a "specialty shop" might not work within their rates. Then you managed to track down several hard-to-locate parts, normally reserved for new production Vettes only. Then you put all those hard-won pieces back together with exceptional craftsmanship. It's just the way it was when I picked it up new, at the dealership.
All I can say is BRAVO! It's a pleasure doing business with you.

Jim,
Just a note thanking you for the great repair job on the transmission your mechanic did on my 1985 Corvette. The transmission never worked that well when I bought the car new in March of 1985.
I don't know his name but "N.B." did one heck of a repair job.
Being a newcomer to the area, I am happy that I found County Corvette, or as I call it -
"Corvette Heaven".
Your great work ethic and fair prices have made me a new loyal customer.
Thank you ,
Stan Gunsburg.

Hi Jim,
Just a word to let you know everything went good on the way home. Beth and
I had a good trip out there and back.
I want to thank you for the tour of the shop. every kid who's ever pulled a motor under a
tree would love to see your shop and would appreciate it. The car looked real good. I
think I miss it more than I did before. Beth said that you were planning on driving
it a little after you get the carburetor worked on. I think that would be a good idea
since there have been many things apart over the past few months. I also got some good
pictures of you shop.
Once again thanks for everything. It was real nice doing business with good people.

Dear Jim,
I've got to tell you how much of a joy and pleasure it was to meet you
and to have had an honest , no hassle, professional relationship in the sale of my 1991
Vette. Sorry to say, but this trust seems to be a very rare commodity in today's
world. You have reinforced my long-standing belief that no contract is any better than the
people you are dealing with.
I am looking forward to the opportunity of seeing you again or working
with you in the future.
Best of everything to you and your fine organization.
Sincerely,
Bill Wallace

Jim,
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you since getting my '86
coupe I have had little time for anything else but cruising around and
showing it off to anyone and everyone I meet. I want to thank you for
helping me realize a dream I have had since I was 16 years old, living
in the Windy City of Chicago. Finally I own a really awesome Corvette, thanks to County
Corvette. It was hard to believe it would happen but you guys held up your end of the
bargain while I secured the financing.
I want to thank you all for holding it for me as long as you did, and
for a classy delivery through Intercity Lines, when I saw the tractor
trailer sitting in the parking waiting for me, I was really floored to
see that My Corvette had been transported completely enclosed, fully
protected from the elements and was sitting in there where the really
classic cars are delivered to the really big shows, the ones they show
on TV!. Yes it was a very memorable and pleasurable experience. I am sure I will be back
down the road when it is time for me to get another one. And I know that I will get a
really great deal from all of you there at County Corvette. Also watching to see how you
guys restore my 1975 Stringray trade in. Will be checking your site out on a regular
basis, thanks again Jim it really drives nice! Sincerely Robert W. Cox

Jim,
I just wanted to thank you for the time you spent looking at my car today and providing
what I consider invaluable advice! Rest assured, the next time my Corvette needs
work (which will most likely be tomorrow :-), I will bring my business to you. You
could easily have had me re-paint, re-interior, and restore my car, but instead you helped
me make an educated decision -- and I truly appreciate that. I will take your advice
and work on getting the mechanical and engine detailing correct before mucking up a
perfectly decent paint and interior job just to make it original. I will probably do
this eventually anyway but now I have a plan. So I wanted to say thank you for
"doing the right thing" and advising a customer based on need/desire not profit.
I wish you a lot of luck (and no problems) in your pending move. Let me know when
you get settled in. I have a '73 that needs some attention too! Jim, I have much
work to be completed over the coming year and would love to have you guys complete it for
me. Thanks in advance for the quality job I know you will do - and have a safe and
happy holiday season -
Merry Christmas!

Thank you for your efficiency in purchasing my '61 Vette and returning my radio

Thanks again.
Very truly yours,

Jim S. Jim J. Nate and Randall,
It was an absolute pleasure in meeting all of you, when I brought my 62 in
for work. The quotes were fair and the work was performed quickly and professionally. I
had a very high comfort level from the moment I spoke with Jim S. about what I wanted to
do, and what his recommendations were. I never felt as though anything was being
"sold". I feel I have made new friends as well as creating a business
relationship. I most definitely will be back, for routine maintenance as well as
additional restoration projects.
The car has never run so well! It is like new.
Sincerely, Rob M.

Hi Jim,
Everything went fine on my trip home to New York. The car runs great. My
neighbors have now promised to stop breaking my shoes
over getting rid of my original-mint-25 year old Nova! Like me, they like this "more
better". I thank you for the courtesy and the relative ease of the transaction.
I'll be sure to recommend you to other prospective 'vette owners/restorers.

Dear Jim:
Should have written months ago. The Bright Aqua Metallic 92 is operating
perfectly-I have no regrets. Have put about 3000 on it so far,turned 50.000 today. My wife
really had fun right after we got it. She drove it to work and turned a lot of heads. One
girl didn't believe her when Alma told her it was hers. One individual I work with
couldn't believe I let my wife drive it-go figure that one. We both enjoy the car
and are very satisfied. When the opportunity arises I plug your business. Please
tell Jimmy S. to be careful with his 421. Will close for now.

Dear Jim and Jim: March 23, 1999
Just a note to let you know how much I am enjoying the '67 air coupe. The car is everything you represented it to be and then some. Thanks also for arranging delivery. The car arrived on time and spotless. You obviously spent some time going over the car before it was loaded. I appreciate your attention to detail. Any time you need a reference, I'm it!
Please keep me in mind for a '62. In this case I might even be interested in a "project".
Regards, Bill Faivre Madison, Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Jordan: 2/6/1999
I recently purchased a 1993 Corvette from County Corvette.
Around April, 1998 I approached one of the owners of County Corvette, Mr. Jim Jordan, asking him to look out for a 1993 Corvette for me to purchase. The car must be clean and have low mileage I told Jim. Jim informed me that it may take some time, however he was very sure that he could find me such a car.
He called me in early July, 1998 telling me he had found a clean, low mileage 1993 Corvette and I should take a look at at it. I drove from Ocean City, Maryland to County Corvette in Pennsylvania to find a 1993 white Corvette with a white interior, exceptionally clean with only 32,000 miles. This VETTE was exactly what I wanted. We negotiated a fair deal on the VETTE and I picked it up the following week.
Since then the VETTE has turned out to be everything I had expected and then some. it looks brand new and runs perfectly. I have really enjoyed driving my VETTE and get many compliments from my friends.
Mr. Jordan is a very friendly and personable gentleman to deal with and I now consider him a close personal friend of mine. If I decide to buy a newer VETTE in the future, I intend to buy it from Jim Jordan.
Thanks for everything, Roland Hartman Ocean City, Maryland
Dear Jim S., Jim J., Randal and Nate, 12/24/1998
I would like to thank you for all the work you've done on my "69" in order to get it street ready. The work has been exemplary and the service and organization of your business extremely professional.
I have thoroughly enjoyed talking with you regarding Corvettes in general and in particular Jim S., your advice on the IN's and out's of the NCRS competition. I look forward to working with you in the future as I am sure the 30 year old Vette will dictate.
As a novice in the Corvette hobby, I have already met many sincerely nice, knowledgeable, and helpful people. You all are certainly at the top of my list.
Sincerely,
Micheal and Donna Casciatti Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Jim:
I'd like to personally express my thanks to you, Jim Jordan and your staff for your kindness and support over the past year.
When I needed to display show cars at a local Hardware you and Jim volunteered your time to bring two cars.
When I needed to help service our trailer, Jim Jordan offered his assistance to extract a wheel lock to remove a flat tire which was unsafe and impossible for me to remove.
When the Delaware Valley Chapter of the NCRS needed to meet our "national requirements" by having a Judging Seminar, you volunteered your time and facility.
Nate Buchanons mechanical skills are unparalleled, as he was able to resurrect an 850 Holley carburetor which I was told was "junk" by other mechanics and fabricated a difficult "stock appearing" fuel line for my son's Buick.
On behalf of myself and as the Newsletter editor of the Delaware Valley Chapter of the National Corvette Restorers Society, I'd like to complement you and your staff for support above and beyond the average restoration shop.
Best Regards, Tony Saggesse
Dear Jim,
On behalf of myself and the members of the Keystone State Corvette Club I'd like to extend our thanks to you, Jim Steumpfle and the staff for your assistance and help with our August meeting.
Our members were very impressed with your organization. Not only is your work first class, but your shop is truly a professional facility. Thanks again.

Dear Jim,
When I purchased my '69 Vette in 1971, I never would have dreamed I'd still have it 173,000 miles later. Thankfully I was referred to you and your partner Jim Jordan , as my '69 was completely worn out. Since you returned it to me at the end of February, I feel like a kid at Christmas! Your workmanship in every detail of the restoration was perfect. It's like getting a new car, but not paying the price of a new one. Your cost was very reasonable in my opinion and now I can drive it for another 20 years thanks to you and your excellent staff. Thanks for everything that you did!
Sincerely, Bill Schoener P.S Your engine man really made that 350/350 run strong and fast!
Dear Jim & Jim,
I would like to personally thank you for the superb effort you fellows did restoring to better than original condition my 1963 Split Window Coupe. the knowledge , expertise and craftsmanship you displayed during the restoration was far superior to any shop I have encountered. Your exact attention to detail was very impressive, as is evident by the the recent top flight award by the NCRS meet at Bryner Chevrolet. Needless to say-- I am extremely happy and proud to have met the two "J's" of County Corvette. Keep up the excellent work, and if I can ever be of assistance, please do not hesitate to call. Again, thank you and please keep up the splendid work.
Best Regards, Gus Monastero President/ CEO Polyphase Corporation
Dear Jim,
I would like to thank you for the work you performed on my 1969 L-88. In the last few years the car has achieved a Bloomington Gold Certificate and 5 NCRS top flight awards since you and Jimmy restored it. In Cypress Gardens this year , Vette Vues, Corvette Fever, and Vette magazine all did photo shoots on the car. The car was featured in all three magazines. The car took top scoring honors at the Delaware Valley Chapter NCRS show in October with an overall score of 99.5%. I would also like to mention the engine rebuild, since it was rebuilt it now runs like a true L-88.
Just an update on 1967 435 convertible since you did the car earlier this year. It took best of show awards at the Corvette Club of Northern Delaware NCCC show in Wilmington and at the Cavalcade of Corvettes show in Willow Grove. It also achieved a Bloomington Gold Certificate in June. Thanks Again. Sincerely,
Frank Stech, Jr. Pitman, New Jersey
Dear Jim,
I've been meaning to send you and your team a note of appreciation since I got my "toy" back. When I brought the car in I was expecting some work was going to have to be done to get through inspection plus do some extra things that I wanted checked and attended to.
As luck would have it when you got into the work things were found that weren't expected. When I think about it this doesn't come as a surprise. What was a very pleasant surprise was the professional way you communicated by phone and then showed me in your shop the things that you found. The cost estimates before the you did the work I believe were fair. There were no surprises with the final bill and the workmanship was outstanding.
Thanks from a happy "66" Corvette owner who will be back! Frank Rottier Malvern, PA
These are just a few of the many letters of appreciation we get quite often. Thanks for taking the time to read them. If you would like to speak to some of our customers we are more than happy to send references. Please don't hesitate to ask!
