Corvette Center in
Newington Township (CT)

My 2004 Corvette was running rough after taking it out of storage. I called Ray at Corvette Center and he told me they were super busy but to bring the car in for a scan to see what the problem was. Long story short, they found the problem and fixed it along with a few other issues while i waited. My vette has never run better and i did not have to come back. I totally recommend Ray and his crew for all your corvette needs. Very fair and great service!

The Corvette Center is the expert shop for Corvette repair. I had the harmonic damper replaced in my C6 Corvette. It is a common issue, but not a simple repair. They performed this project well. They also have some nice examples to look at while you wait!

Very knowledgeable group. Found a problem on my C6 that the dealer could not identify, and charged me less! I Highly recommend.

Took my 1990 Corvette ZR1 for them to fix the dreaded INFL rest light, which they were able to source the part and fix it. They also do not just work on corvettes, were able to perform R-12 AC Recharge as well as help fix an exhaust/manifold leak on my 1968 Ford LTD.

These guys are the real deal! Brought my car in for a mistake a previous shop did. Not only was Ray incredibly professional and friendly but exceptionally honest. This shop isn't the type to lie to you about repairs that your car "needs" in order to drive up the bill they will tell you what it needs and what not. On top of being flexible they were also very quick and reasonably priced. Will definitely come back if i need a shop to work on my car. Thank you Ray and the rest of the team!

Excellent and honest folks here with a wealth of knowledge that goes above and beyond. They did a fantastic job on my GTO framework and fixed issues caused by other local shops. You can trust these folks with any classic car not just corvettes. This is my new go to shop. Thanks!

The experience and knowledge that the staff have here is unbeatable. They went out of their way to order me the correct parts that I needed for my 65 vette, and didn't tack on a bunch of additional charges to my bill for those parts. From now on, this is where I will go for service and or parts that I need.

Ive been watching Ray's inventory of C2 corvettes for a couple yrs now, always felt and still do that he has great examples of the cars in his inventory and his ask prices are reasonable, just purchased the nassau blue 66 coupe, couldnt be happier! Richard

Ray and his band of elves made Christmas come early for us! The job they did dressing up our 2014 Stingray with Carbon Fiber accessories was awesome! As my husband says, "Ray knows your Corvette better than you do"!! Don't hesitate to consult him for any of your Corvette needs.

I recently visited the Corvette Center in Newington, CT and had an excellent experience. I have a 1984 Corvette that I purchased new but haven’t driven much in the last 10 years. It’s now time to address old issues so I brought it to the Corvette Center. They repaired broken parts, fixed valve cover leaks, repaired the air conditioning and provided normal maintenance. When I drove it home, it was the best this car has driven in a long time. I plan to return next week for new tires and another repair. Thanks to the Corvette Center, it’s great to drive this car again.

Ray and “Corvette Center” came to my rescue as I am from Myrtle Beach , South Carolina and my friend and I were on a road-trip to CT with my 1972 Corvette. In Westbrook, CT my shifter locked up and a loyal customer of Ray’s recommended “Corvette Center.” After speaking to Ray and explaining the situation, Ray said he would do his best to accommodate my circumstances. Ray provided me with excellent communication about the work that was being performed on my car, as well as informed me about what he felt should be addressed for a safe trip home. Thank you Ray and your team for fixing my car in a timely manner, so I can enjoy a safe ride home to South Carolina. In addition, the work performed on my car was well done for a fair price and your professional expertise is greatly appreciated. If you own a Corvette, I would highly recommend “ Corvette Center.”

We made the tough decision of who to trust the restoration of our 1972 Corvette, which we owned for over 40 years, to Ray and his staff at Corvette Center. Turned out to be a great decision! Ray is very professional, detail oriented and guided us throughout the entire process. The car came out better than expected and the paint work is just incredible. Thank you Ray and staff for all your hard work. It was a pleasure working with you!

Great place to take your vette,spoke with Ray about an alignment on my c7z51corvette and he had the special tool needed to adjust the caster setting .I drove in from Western ma. because the chevy dealers in my area were not even aware of the caster adjustment or the tool needed to do it. My car rides like a dream, very happy with the work.

Ray is an absolute pleasure to work with. Extremely knowledgeable and willing to spend the time to walk you through your vehicle - what was done and any things to keep an eye out it may need in the future. I would a hundred percent recommend this shop, awesome experience.

After a in depth conversation with ray last October, I decided to drop my c5 off to have a new rear end put in. He assured me they were the to go to place and it would be dyno tuned. I didn’t make it home before the trans slammed gears and the check engine lamp came on. After 3 visits back I was told it needed a valve body. I asked the mechanic to explain what a valve body does and how it operates. He stormed off, imagine that. A mechanic selling a part he dosent know what it does. This was and has been an ever since problem. So fast forward it a bit. I pulled the car from the shop and brought it to a local tuner. He found what you see in the pics. This caused one of my many check engine lamp dtc after the rear end replacement. I was told this part was bad, could have been the case, but when you use glue on connections it tends to not connect. The tuner was suppose to open it up, I believe the pull was around 300hp. It was not tuned like a pro, nor was any of the work done by a shop titled corvette center. I had a before and after pull done after I had ray pull the tune out due to my dissatisfaction. There was no hp gain. I will not divulge what was done, dosent matter at this point. It took me, myself, to find a solution. A year this business cost me due to inexperience. I will say, I’d give one star if it was not for the fact ray has been in the business for a long time and can handle situations. His shop however, the results speak for itself.

If you care about your car and expect perfection, Corvette Center is the place to go. Ray and the entire team are awesome. True craftsmen and I trust the professional and honest advice. I also take my C7 for service since Paul K left CT. I wouldn’t trust it with anyone else.

I just purchased a 1964 Corvette Convertible from the Corvette Center in Newington CT. Friendly, informative, professional, and an all around excellent experience. Easy to work with and quick to address any and all questions or concerns I had. There are a lot of the classic Corvettes for sale around the country, and many are not as advertised. At the Corvette Center you receive an honest up front actual description of what you are looking at. No gimmicks or deceptive stuff. I strongly recommend this business and appreciate business owners like Ray!! 5 stars!

CC purchased my 2003 C5 Corvette Convertible. They were very communicative during the whole process. They have very high integrity. The transaction was completed very smoothly. I received a very fair price for my vehicle. I highly recommend Corvette Center!

I brought my C7 base Stingray to Ray and his staff at the Corvette Center in Newington. I had purchased an A&A Supercharger and asked if they'd install it. By the time they were done, when you pop the hood it looks like it was factory installed. They did a great job in area that's difficult to work in. Then it required a tune. When I brought the car in it was hardly a slouch but now, they some how wrangled out nearly 200 HP to the crank and a ton more Torque outta the Supercharger and this car is a beast (I'm talking in the neighborhood of 160 more HP to the wheel. Beyond my expectation, guys and gals. First go around it was markedly improved and then Ray called me and said he thought he could get some more out of it. Yep. He called me! I brought it in and cannot tell you what an incredible tune they put on this Vette. Who calls the customer and says, Hey! I think your car's got more to give? Ray Zisa does. Go there, friends of mine in the Vette Community. You will not be disappointed and Ray is such a good guy to work and as busy as his shop is, he's very approachable.

I was in the market for my first corvette and was looking at internet ads and found myself overwhelmed; a friend of mine who owns a business in Newington said "why don't you try Corvette Center in Newington, they have a small showroom, but maybe you can get some knowledge". I took a ride over and spoke with Chris who showed me a few cars available and in my price range; Chris then introduced me to Ray the owner and within 25 minutes being in the shop I purchased my first corvette. Ray and his team were absolutely knowledgeable, professional and made the purchase as smooth as could be; when I picked up the car it wasn't here are the keys and good luck, it was the owner Ray going through the car with me explaining every switch, every feature and how to remove and put the top back on. I have always wanted a corvette and this place is somewhere you want to shop if you're in the market for a classic car. I love my corvette Ray and I don't think it will be my last, thank you and your team for a great experience.

Ray and the guys at corvette center were an absolute pleasure to do business with. I needed some work done on my z06 and have been wanting to check them out for a while and I'm sure glad I did! If you have a corvette or any performance vehicle, these are the guys you want working on it, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again guys!

My 2016 Corvette needed new door panels and a new dashboard and I couldn't find anyone near me to replace them. Nobody wanted to touch that job. I went to Ray at Corvette Center and they did an amazing job. Thank you so much Ray and all who worded on my car.

Ray Zisa and his staff are in love with your corvette before it ever enters their repair shop. and that's just for starters.. Excellent people working on the cars. Ray regularly updated me on the progress along the way.. He picked up my car, and when finished, delivered it back to my home... Newington Corvette Center is the only repair shop I plan on bringing my cars to in the future. Just great, it was the best money I spent on my corvette in a long time...Pete G.

I brought my 1978 corvette in the ignition key was stuck and my power steering control value was completely screwed up. From start to finish corvette center got to the bottom of the issue and got me back on the road. I strongly and highly recommend them for you automotive services on you prized automobiles.

If you have a Corvette and you are in the area, these are the guys you take your car to. Bar none. Ray and this team have been working on Corvettes for years, and their quality of service shows. One of the things I was most impressed with was that they look over/inspect each car when they receive it. If there are any safety hazards or things in urgent need of repair, they will let you know. Ray was great to work with, professional, fair - he is the go-to guy if you have any issues with your Corvette. Highly, highly recommend the Corvette Center!

The Corvette Center recently completed show quality custom body work and paint on my 1981 Corvette and it came out fantastic. Their attention to detail and workmanship is the best. Customer Service was excellent. Ray and Phil kept me informed through the whole process and answered all my questions, professional & friendly people. I would absolutely recommend anybody to do business with them! Jack Eames

The Corvette Center is fantastic! They have fixed my car twice now and each time I was extremely pleased with the service and end result. They have painted my front bumper and replaced/painted my rear bumper as well as fixing my front end after an accident. Each time they were timely in the repair and also communicated so I understood what needed to be done as well as the cost. You won’t regret going here. They do a great job!
