Corvette Repair in Ardsley, New York

Corvette: Styles and Repairs Across the Generations

Generations of People and Cars

Chevrolet’s most iconic car, the Corvette, has been in production since 1953. Its design has changed over the years, varying in slightly by year and significantly between the company’s designated generations. Currently, the automaker is in the 8th production generation. Likewise, many Corvette enthusiasts share their passion for the sports brand across multiple generations of their families, heightening the need to keep these vehicles in good mechanical condition so they can be shared longer. The ASE-certified technicians at Ardsley Motors in Ardsley, New York, can help you with that. Regardless of the generation you drive, we’ve got your Corvette service and repair needs covered.

You’ll Eventually Need a Repair

No matter the age of your sports car or how well you maintain it, you’ll eventually need a repair. What you might expect often depends upon the age and generation of the vehicle. For example, the original models boasted powerful carburetors (compared to other family cars of their day), less sophisticated braking systems, and no onboard diagnostic (OBD) system. If you’re fortunate enough to own one of those beauties, you can expect more frequent tune-ups, adjustments, and brake repairs. On the other hand, a newer generation car offers direction toward underlying issues via OBD-II diagnostics. One problem with the related check engine light illumination, however, is a gas cap that shows signs of wear (often around 50,000 miles or just over). This is particularly prevalent in model years 1996-2013. Another fuel-related source of trouble is the fuel level sensor in the 1991-2015 Corvettes. Sometimes the fix is as simple as replacing the sensor, but in other instances the fuel pump also needs exchanging. Leaking water pumps and trouble with the anti-theft feature in the steering column are also plagues of the modern generations. Better news is that while every auto needs brake serve and repairs, the newer models wear a bit better.
