Testimonials

Suspension System Parts, near Vista, California

I have been bringing my Chevy to Art at GM Exclusive since February 2020. I get my oil changed every 5k miles and have left other recommendations to Art to let me know what is needed. It's really important to me that my vehicle never breaks down due to lack of maintenance or oversight. Art has been wonderful in addressing my fears and has never sold me work or parts I didn't need. He runs GM Exclusive with the utmost integrity and honesty, and I know this from 55 years of dealing with shops of every kind and encountering the opposite. GM Exclusive is completely professional, they have decades of experience and they're worth every penny. I love this shop and the people who run it and work there. Thank you for all your help and your patience with my OCD worrying about my van. GM Exclusive is the greatest.

Art serviced my new C8 2022 Corvette yesterday. He has been my guy for all 3 of my Corvettes . He is better then a dealership. Way better. He has all the certifications and continues to update his knowledge to keep up with the changing technology. Do yourself and your pocketbook a favor, and visit GM Executive for all of your GM needs. You will be glad you did. Nobody even comes close to this company. Knowledge care and friendly guaranteed service just like the dealer, but way better. I've used GM Executive now for over 17 years on all 3 of my Corvettes. No way I'm ever going back to a dealership. Your experience will not get any better. He is the best! Regards, Steve Stogner
