"Can’t ask for anyone better to work on my C5 Corvette. I appreciate the knowledge they bring as a whole and that Rich himself has a C5 Corvette, so he knows them particularly well. The best part about 2 the Grid Motorsports is they will research and diagnose the problem rather than just jumping to conclusions and performing unnecessary repairs.

I appreciate the honesty and not trying to sell you what you don’t really need. And lastly, great communication. I am happy to have found a mechanic I can trust and ask questions of; they are my go to!”

Tyler S.

"Absolutely amazing shop! Rich has what seems like endless knowledge in the automotive field, in all aspects. Everyday auto repair for both gasoline and diesel vehicles. He’s also been awesome with parts and service for my drift car. An honest ‘one stop shop’ for everyday and performance automotive repair and modification.

Just recently purchased my first diesel pickup, and he’s been beyond helpful in advice and recommendations on proper maintenance, upkeep and products to keep it running like new. Will always recommend Rich and 2 the Grid Motorsports to anybody who needs work done to their vehicle!”

Chrissy S.

"It was a great experience to get the oil changed on our C7 Stingray! Rich was very informative and thorough. He was careful with the car and very knowledgeable. He also went above and beyond, explaining some features about my Corvette that I did not know about. I highly recommend Rich and his team to anyone who loves their vehicle!”
