"Dear
Jimmy:
I
would just like to let you know what a great
experience I had dealing with Jack Gentle of
your staff. I recently purchased a 2001
Corvette Convertible. Jack was my
salesman. He went above and beyond what was
expected from a car salesman.
I have
never had such a good experience when
purchasing a vehicle. I am from Louisiana,
and had to fly to Atlanta to purchase the
car. He gave me directions for MARTA, and
was there waiting for me when I arrived.
This type of service is unheard of. He is
to be commended, as well as your entire
dealership.
Most
used car salesmen have the reputation of
being less than truthful, but from my first
interaction with Jack via telephone, to the
last time I shook his hand when I left the
dealership, I could sense his honesty and
integrity. I had been doing a lot of
traveling and the trip from Atlanta back to
Louisiana was the last leg of a very long
journey. Jack contacted me by phone from
very early in the morning to the late
evening hours to ensure that I was safe and
not having any problems. Jimmy, that is not
a salesman, that's a friend. My own wife
didn't do that, and I keep a roof over her
head. Jack even gave me directions and told
me of a good place to spend the night in
Forest, Mississippi. You just don't find
those types of people anywhere.
Again,
many thanks for having such a fine person on
your staff, and also, for giving me such a
fine experience buying a vehicle. I plan to
be back when I am ready for my next Vette."

"To Dave (the walking Corvette dictionary) Metcalf,
I apologize for being a little tardy with my
testimonial. My plate has been full. In all my
years of car/truck buying, I never had a more enjoyable
experience. I was treated with respect, and
consideration. ( which does not happen much anymore). I
was given the cooks tour, and enjoyed it.
American Sports Car Center, did not have
exactly what I wanted. Dave Metcalf, told me to give a
little time, and he would find it! 3-
4 weeks BINGO!! Exactly what I wanted, And LOW
miles. A 99 C5 coupe, 6 speed, I would recommend these
guys to everybody. If new car dealers operated this way,
they would sell a lot more cars and trucks. I
really like the seminar, too. I will attend the next
one!!
Larry Rader, Happy Corvette owner!!
"Dear Jason, I just wanted to send
you a big thank you for all your help. After 26 years of
dreaming I finally got my vette. I bought the 1988 black on tan
convertible and I could not be happier. My dad bought a 1978
corvette when I was 12 years old and I loved vettes from the
first ride with him. The vette I got from you I hope to make the
same memories with my kids in. I would like to tell everyone
that reads this that the cars you sell are top notch. To go and
by a 20 year old car and get a warranty with it how could you
not get one. The sales team at ASC is the best. Your sales team
and you won my wife over and made this all possible for me. If
not for ASC I would be still dreaming of getting a vette. Now I
get up in the morning and my dream is in the driveway totally
cool. Also you and the sales team at ASC are as crazy about
vettes as those of us that want to buy one. If anyone reading
this is thinking of getting a Corvette this is the place to buy
it. I drive my vette everyday you cant miss me I am the guy with
a smile so big I had to put the top down.
Thanks again for all your help."
-Chris Bohn
"Dear Jack,
Thanks for making my buying experience
so enjoyable. I have purchased many vehicles in the past, but
never as easy as the 96 Collectors Edition I just purchased from
you. I have to admit I was a bit hesitant trying to buy a car
over the internet. However, after visiting your Dealership you
have won me over. I found that the pictures on your website
truly represent the vehicles you have. I have looked at many
Vette's over the past couple of years and your Dealership has
the best looking Vette's around. I couldn't believe I got 29 mpg
on the way back to Alabama. I also appreciate you getting back
to me as quickly as you did even after the sale when I got to my
local tag office and had a problem. I highly recommend this
Dealership to anybody looking for a quality Corvette. I didn't
feel pressured at any time. Thank you Jack Gentle for all your
help in making my first Corvette purchase so hassle free. You
will definitely have my repeat business when I'm looking for my
next Corvette."
-Caray Kemp
"Jody, Thanks so much for a truly painless and
easy car transaction. I will definitely return when
I get ready to buy another car! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year!"
-Art
"Dear Jimmy,
You recently sent me a survey to fill out. I did not find it adequate to say what I want.
I have been buying Corvettes from your dealership since almost the beginning. The purchase of my 2005 Convertible is my 4th Corvette purchase. I have always been satisfied and that is why I purchased this car. Jack Gentle was exactly what his name says; that is, "gentle". At no time did I feel pressured or cornered. I tend to "vote" with my checkbook and that is what I did when I purchased the car.
You and Greg Rush have always been the same. I had looked at Greg's cars for a long time before I bought my first one. This time was an exception....you had the exact car of my dreams and it went home with me. As I explained, when I was in the hospital with prostate cancer, I promised myself that if I came out healthy I would treat myself to a new Corvette. A 2005 in what I call my color (Daytona Sunset Orange) with all the goodies I could conceive and only 6800 careful miles was as close to brand new as I could conceive in my mind.
So in a nutshell, I am way more than pleased with my purchase. Every time I turn the engine on and slide the shifter into first gear the entire car reinforces my decision to buy my Corvette from your dealership."

"Joshua: You do a terrific job on the web-site
test drives. I really enjoy them. Hope to see a lot more of
them.
Keep up the good work!"
-James Holloway
"On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, September
1, 2007, my wife and I along with a couple of friends arrived at
Atlanta Sportscar Center. The first person we met was Jody
Wardlaw. After introducing himself and telling us how to
navigate the inventory, he turned us loose to tour the entire
facility.
I have never seen so many beautiful Corvettes in one place. As you
can probably guess, we located the perfect one, a 1998 Torch Red
Coupe. After a couple of test drives, we knew we couldn’t
leave without it.
Jody handled the transaction in a professional, courteous
manner, while keeping us in stitches most of the time. We also
had the opportunity to meet Mr. Jimmy Almond, and he added to
the pleasure of our purchase. To close, I don’t think I have stopped smiling
since that day. There is just something about a red Corvette.
Thanks to everyone at ASC."
-Danny Floyd

"Dear Jimmy Almond, Jason Pirkle, and
Jack Stanford, I cannot sing your praises far
or loud enough. As you know, and I guess once in awhile
things just happen, my 92 roadster had a transmission
problem almost immediately after I bought it. When I got
back to TN I called you guys and informed you of "some kind" of
a terrible vibration/shimmy problem at medium to higher speeds,
under specific conditions.....a problem that surely couldn't be
tested for, but rather would have had to be found under lengthy
and specific driving conditions. With barely a word; no
fussing; no haggling; you guys had a hauler here (it could
have been driven easily enough) , and it was on the way back to
Atlanta to be repaired. Not only did you replace the torque
converter, thereby taking care of the transmission problem. but
you took care of a few minor things that I just asked you
if you would do for me.......al at no cost to me. I
cannot thank you enough for showing me why American Sportscar
Center is unquestionly the Corvette dealer of the world!!
It is beyond a delight to be able to do business with a company
who really, really cares about its customers.....I'm living
proof!!! Yeah, I've sure missed the car since its been
gone; but that just goes to show you how much I was enjoying it
before the car hauler showed up to get it back to you so you
could get it back to me. My most sincere thanks gentlemen.
You are truly a first class operation!!!!!!"

"HEY JACK THANK YOU
FOR ALL YOU DID FOR US ON BUYING THE VETTE MARILYN ALWAYS
WANTED... I THINK ALL OF YOU GUYS WENT ABOVE THE CALL TO HELP US SELECT THE VETTE THAT WAS
RIGHT FOR MARILYN... I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH YOUR AUBURN TIGERS LOST
AGAIN TODAY, I WILL ALWAYS BUY MY VETTES FROM YOU... NOT ONLY ARE YOU AN EXCELLENT SALESMAN I
CONSIDER YOU A GREAT GUY AND A FRIEND... SOON MARILYN WILL E-MAIL SOMETHING GREAT, TOO! BUT I
WILL OFFER ANYTHING I CAN TO HELP YOU AND ANYONE THERE.. IF ANYONE IS EVER UNSURE ABOUT BUYING
FROM YOU,
THEN HAVE THEM CONTACT ME O,K,.. AGAIN THANK YOU FOR MAKING
MARILYN ONE HAPPY LADY..
YOUR FRIEND MAX... P.S. I WOULD GO TO WAR AND BACK WITH JACK HE
IS A GREAT PERSON.
THANKS JACK!"
"Dear Jack, We
have to thank you for the best car buying experience We’ve ever had.
Living in Houston, we
had many reservations about traveling to Atlanta to buy a car we had
never seen nor driven, not to mention
the amount we were looking to invest in a quality car. We had been
researching classic vettes for almost
2 years, and had seen over 50+ cars in the flesh all over Texas, however
the selection and quality of the
vettes at American Sportscar Center made me realize how much time I
had wasted. We were after an
investment quality, chrome bumper vette along with a big list of other
requirements that had to be met.
You did not waste my time with cars that didn’t fit the bill, nor try to
direct me to other models just
because you didn’t have what I wanted in stock right there & then. I
have to say that your responsiveness,
knowledge and patience with our questions (not to mention the 200+
photographs) really brought
the car to life for us and was key in spending the time and effort to fly
out and see you. I’ve never had
a salesman talk me through a 15 mile test drive, with second by second
commentary – even when
things weren’t perfect on the car you pointed them out & committed to
fixing them prior to delivery.
WOW! Even when we were there to pick up the car, knowing that we
intended to drive it home, it was
refreshing to see that you had the car on the lift, inspected it and
replaced several key items (new
radiator, U-joints, door latch handle) that would have stranded us
on the way home – all at no
additional cost. We put 1000 miles on our new baby (’71 coupe), all
the way from “Hotlanta”
through “Floribama”, into N'Orleans and then home to Houston. She did not
miss a beat
& I had several offers to buy her on the way home. All I can say is
that if you are looking
for an honest price on a quality vintage vette, and service that is
2nd to none….
don’t waste your time with anyone else – see American Sports Car
Center and talk to Jack!"
- Sven & Angele Grone

"The term
“salesman” conjures up a negative response from many people. This is
due to the failure of the few who did not put the
interests, needs and desires of the client ahead of their own. I have been
in the insurance business for nearly 45 years and know
a true salesperson when I work with one. Jody Wardlaw is a true salesman
in the finest sense and beyond that he knows his
business. I wanted a Corvette and thought I knew what I was
going to buy. However, Jody did his job and directed me to
the Corvette which pleases me much more than the one I had first
envisioned purchasing. He is patient and responsive
to questions from the uneducated, newly infected Corvette fan.
I am very pleased with my special ’87, it is one of only 87
produced with that color. However, I get the feeling that I’ll be back to
see Jody sometime in the future to trade up or
add on. I am already looking forward to the experience. Thanks Jody!
Special kudos to Jack Stanford Jr. for an
excellent website and many thanks to the good folks in the service
area who put
the finishing touches on my Bronze Beauty."
-Jay A. Riemersma, Atlanta

"Jack, Just read the ASC tribute article in the current issue of
Corvette Fever magazine. You guys certainly deserve the
high praise they gave you. The pictures bring back a lot of good memories
of my trip over and the buying
experience. Hope the article helps sales, and you continue to sell
a lot of Corvettes."
-James Holloway
"Jack, Driving
that Vette home Saturday morning was just a blast. Great ride, great
look, and SUPER POWER!
I am more than pleased… It has been a boyhood dream to own a 1980
Corvette and you have helped me see
that dream come true. Your knowledge, honesty, and personality are first
rate and a rare thing to find in the
car business. It was indeed a pleasure visiting and purchasing a Corvette from BUYAVETTE.NET, everyone
there truly understands the spirit of the Vette and what it means to own
one. Thanks for going the extra
mile making sure it would not only get me 5 hours home, but that it
also did it safely.
Thanks again for all your help!"

"Dave,
Everything is great with the Corvette. No problems & got the thumbs
up from my wife & youngest son
when we got home. Wanted to thank you again for everything. Usually
I leave a car dealer, whether I buy
or not, with a headache. This was an enjoyable, stress free
experience. I certainly will not hesitate
to deal with you again, well worth the drive. Once again thanks for
everything."

"Jody, Just wanted to drop you a line to say, WOW!. I am very very pleased with
my 2003 red convertible.
It is great. It performs well and turns some heads too, but that
isn't what I'm WOWing about.
You guys have raised the bar in the car buying experience. Like I
said when I first contacted
you, I picked you out because of all the raving reviews of your
customer service on
your testimonials page. I was not disappointed. You were great. You
took us on the
tour of the place, answered all of our questions, no matter how silly, and
were a
wealth of info on Corvettes. You also went the extra mile in helping
me with the
financing, even when Capital One's computers went down. I can
honestly
say that I will hold you guys up as the gold standard, every
time I purchase
a car in the future. But don't worry, I'll be coming back to
American Sports
Car Center for all of my future Corvette purchases. And my brother-in-law,
Stephen, will be coming back also. He was equally impressed.
Thanks."

"Hi
Jimmy. I just bought a 1989 White Convertible from Jody. He is a
great guy and I would like to say that
I think he is a valuable asset to your company. He is very
professional and knowledgeable. He went out
of his way to help me and was very kind. He was very up front and
honest and that's something that is
hard to find these days. The car he described to me is as nice or better
than he said. I was going
to have the car delivered but decided to drive down there and see your
company. I was very
impressed with every thing from the cars to the friendly people. I
drove the car 10 hours back
home to Virginia with out a minute's problem. I have wanted a
convertible Vette for 32 years
and Jody made my dream come true. I would like to say many thanks to
Jody and the
staff at American Sportscar Center. You guys are the best."
-Clinton Sample
Update: "Jody, I know you're busy.
I just wanted to drop a line and tell you about my
Vette. On the way home I got 25.7 mpg and around town I get
17.3. This
is the best car I ever had. On the way back home, I got stopped in
a
detour. While I was setting there, some guy was on his cell phone
telling
someone that there was a 5.7 with the top down beside him and it was
sweet.
Well, I am glad the top was down because my head got bigger! My
youngest
daughter called the other night and asked if I was picking up chicks
in the
Vette. I told her that I didn't need a chick, I had my vette. I
then
went on to tell her that the night before I had stayed up till
12.30am
rubbing her down with some good wax and then put her to bed in the
garage.
She laughed and said I was crazy (maybe, but so what). Anyway I'm
on the
5th tank of gas and loving every minute. I have'nt found one thing
that I
don't like about it. Thanks for all you have done, and for helping
me with
my dream of owning a convertible (glad I didn't settle for a Targa
Top car.
I will write you from time to time.

"Just
wanted to pass along my appreciation for your staff during the
purchase of our 91 Convertible. Jason Pirkle
went out of his way to help me make the decision to buy this car before we
even inspected it. It is refreshing
dealing with knowledgeable staff who took the time to answer any
questions on even an "inexpensive"
Corvette. Thanks again and we will certainly pass along our
experience with others. "
-Don & Tammy Young, Anniston, AL - 91 Polo Green Convertible
Thanks for the great experience!
Your helpful knowledge of Corvettes made my buying process much
easier. If anyone
out there is looking to purchase a Corvette, Jack Gentle and American
Sportscar Center are the only choice.
Thanks-"
-Steve Agee
"I wanted to write and say what a great
experience you made buying my Corvette. After visiting your site in
the winter, I can’t tell you how impressed I was not only by the
inventory and facility but by your competent advice and counsel.
Your patience in taking me for a tour of the facility and knowledge
of the inventory was very much appreciated. Over the next few months
as I checked the site daily, you answered all my questions and at
times, being slow to pull the trigger, I missed opportunities to
buy. But you stayed with me and when THE perfect car came along, we
were able to make the deal sight unseen. My wife and I are very
happy with the 1995 torch red coupe with only 28,000 miles and it
was everything you said it was and more. Even the local police have
come up to me to admire the car. I am always available to be a
reference for Jack Gentle as the perfect man to call and deal with
for a Corvette purchase. Be assured, I look forward to dealing with
Jack for any future purchases. For anyone reading this and wondering
how you buy a Corvette over the internet, let me assure you that
American Sportscar Center is the real deal. The facility is top
notch, they only stock excellent product and their sales force will
give you the good and bad of whatever car you are looking at in full
detail. If you can get there for a visit, great (bring your
checkbook and some heart medicine, it is truly impressive). If not,
be assured that their honest approach to selling a product they love
will be evident. They handle the financing and shipment without any
issues and will deliver a car that will exceed your expectations. My
thanks to all, an honest dealership and people that deliver what
they promise."
- Jim McGoldrick, West Chester, PA
"I have purchased two like-new condition Corvettes
from Jack Gentle of ASC during the past year! The first was a very
low mileage '82 Collector Edition. This was a sight-unseen purchase
which was made possible by Jack's competence, diligent hard work,
and hours on the phone. The car was shipped to me, and when it
arrived I found that it was even better than Jack's description and
the many detailed pictures had indicated. Due to the low mileage
and outstanding condition, I only drive it a few miles about 3 or
4 times a week. This whetted my appetite for a daily driver
Corvette, thus I began searching for a C5 a few months ago. I
identified several good possibilities at other dealerships and
private parties, but I preferred doing business with ASC due to my
previous wonderful experience with them! I called Jack and
described what I wanted, and he told me of 3 good possibilities in
stock at ASC. I made the trip to ASC the next day. Jack met me and
took me to the showroom. My Mom went along for the ride, and Jack
presented her with a corsage and candy. Needless to say, she was
impressed. I found that ASC has the most modern up-to-date
facility with, I would estimate, over one hundred Corvettes on hand,
from the early '60's to current models. The showroom is essentially
a Corvette museum and it was almost worth the trip just to see it!
The ASC staff, including GM Jimmy Almond, was extremely courteous
and helpful. I purchased a 2004 torch red convertible with 8000
miles at a very good price that I couldn't find anywhere else. The
car appears brand-new, and I am very pleased with it. Thanks,
again, to Jack and ASC for making this happen for me. For anyone
interested in a pre-owned Corvette, whether an older or newer
model, I highly recommend that you contact Jack Gentle at ASC. You
won't be disappointed!"
-James Holloway
"Mr. Jack Gentle, Just a note to say thank
you so much for helping us to find a
great car. Mark and I have already made a trip in to the
mountains
and are thoroughly enjoying driving it.
Thanks again!"
-Wendy McCall
"I had reservations about investing in such an
expensive automobile.
David Ahn, really helped me to see the quick equity potential in
following through with a purchase. The vehicle he sold me was every
bit
as nice as he described it and more. The American Sports Car Center
staff really made me feel at home during my recent visit to look the
car
over and test drive it. I want to thank each of them. Once again my
experience couldn't have been better thanks to David Ahn, a true
salesman, real gentleman, and good friend.
Sincerely- New proud Owner of the 1965 Nassau Blue Powerglide
Convertible"
"Hi Jimmy, I wanted to let you know what an asset
Jody Wardlaw is to your
sales team! He deserves MANY accolades for his terrific demeanor
and sense
of humor!! He helped me in so many ways, to join the rarified air
of Vette
owners! Atlanta is a long long way from Montana, and he made it a
pleasure
to purchase my first Vette. He seemed to be available 24/7, for
endless
questions and be able to calm a nervous disorder that showed up at
times!!
He also arranged a very complicated delivery here "in the middle of
nowhere"!! I have been so happy with this 90 Vette and it is a
pleasure to
drive! Again I appreciate all Jody has done for me, he is a first
class
guy, and I count him as a friend. I hope I can be in Atlanta
someday, and
stop in to meet him personally. Please don't hesitate to use me as
a
reference. I'd be glad to talk with anyone unsure of purchasing
from your
Sports Car Center.

"Thank you Jack Gentle for the fine Vette.
Thanks also for the great deal and the service
and delivery. My bride and I are enjoying this super vette.
-Thanks J. Hardy FLA."
"I would like to thank Joshua for helping me get a
real nice Corvette. From day one when
Joshua returned my e-mail, he said that this was going to be fun .
Joshua never made me
feel that I was wasting his time, and he never pressured me when I came to
Atlanta to
look at the Corvettes, Joshua made me feel welcomed He even offered
to Buy me
lunch, but in turn I bought us lunch because Joshua felt like a friend
instead of a
salesman . I am now a proud owner of a 1985 Little Red Corvette .
Thank you Joshua."

"Mr. Almond,
I want you to know that you have a very happy "new" customer over here
in southwest Mississippi! I found your company through web links on
the
internet and saw three cars I was very interested in. I really
wanted to
get a mid- nineties Vette. I read the testimonials and decided
from that
information to contact Jody Wardlaw. Jody was as enthused as I was
and
helped me with his knowledge, experience, and plenty of pictures. I
felt
comfortable working with Jody. He did not steer me wrong. The car I
bought was not the one that got most of my attention at the
beginning.
But was it ever the rightone!! Jody and I decided the Admiral Blue
'94 with gray interior wouldbe the car for me. He said it was FINE
and
I would NOT be disappointed. The deal was done and my car was picked
up Sunday March 3rd anddelivered to me that night about 11:00p.m.
I guess my wife and I had looked at the pictures of the car a
hundred
times, maybe more, and paced the floor 'till the carpet was nearly worn
out waiting for our "new" Vette to get here. I was not prepared for
what
rolled into sight in the soft glow of my garage and porch lights.
There
it was....the most stunning and beautiful Corvette I could ever have
imagined. A thousand times more beautiful than the pictures on the
website! I got to bed at 3:00a.m. Jody gave this car a two thumbs
up,
really fine, super nice, "You'lllove it" rating. It's all that and more. A
stunning exterior andinterior. Looks like it could have rolled out
of
Bowling Green a month ago. Just gorgeous! And a dream to drive.
Thank you American Sportscar Center! And thank you Jody!
A very happy customer."
- Ray Kohn, McComb,Ms.
"Jody, Thanks for the "GREAT" job you did in
finding "just the perfect car" I had been looking for. Your
professionalism is unmatched. I left your dealership considering
you a new friend, instead of having the
feeling I had just been sold a car. If you ever need a reference, please
feel free to call me.
Again, appreciate your efforts."
-Paul Callaway
"On Saturday, January 6, 2007, I came to look at
the various Corvettes that you had on your lot. I was thoroughly
pleased with the assistance and professionalism that I received from
your sales consultant, Jody Wardlaw. This was the best experience I
have ever had in the three years that I have been looking for a
corvette. I want to thank you for staffing your establishment with
such a genuine person. I will definitely return for future corvette
purchases.
-Adolfo Garcia, Jr.

"I wanted to let know how much I appreciate your
company's integrity and assistance in my recent purchase of a 1967
Corvette. After we had agreed on a price and the work to be done
prior to my purchase, I picked up the car. I hadn't gotten 5 miles
from the dealership and had problems. Your salesman, David Ahn, was
very responsive and sent a wrecker immediately. As you recall, you
had the car back in your shop 6 different times in 4 weeks at your
expense. This is not a reflection of your service department's lack
of competency, but problems with the replacement parts that you were
supplied with. Both you and David kept me up to date on all the
progress being made and Jody also helped when needed. I may
have been able to find a Corvette cheaper somewhere else. Maybe
not. But I'm very sure I wouldn't have found a better place to buy
one. I think people really look for the best value, not cheapest
price. There is no doubt that ASC is the best value. You gave me a
fair price and stood behind what you sold. That's a great deal, not
necessarily the cheapest one. Thanks for all your help."
-Warren Goodman
"We had a great time at your Corvette facility
last Saturday. Everyone from
the Classic Glass Corvette Club made comments about how bright
and
clean the facility was, what a great selection, and of course how
everyone was friendly and professional. My hats off to the
American Sportscar Center team. You sure know how to show a group of Corvette enthusiast a goodtime!"
-Reggie
"Your salesman, Jody Warlaw,
provided me with something I've never experienced in buying
a vehicle: A quick and easy purchase. I spoke with him over the
phone and he had my
financing approved before I was able to drive from Tennessee the following
week to
see the car! The car was everything Jody described it as. I was
impressed with the
condition and appearance of the car the minute I saw it. The car
runs beautifully
and the trip back to Tennessee was uneventful (except for people
staring at the car!). I want to thank Jody for his dedication and professionalism
in salesmanship. From the minute I met him, he made me feel
welcome and I felt like I've known him for years. I will look forward to purchasing
another Vette from Jody. He is truly one of a kind! Thanks for
the experience and my '93 40th. Anniversary Vette!"
-Charles Ford

"I just wanted to take a few minutes to share my
purchasing experience with you. From the moment I stepped on your Lot, Jason was very attentive. After he found out the
year range of the Corvette that I was looking for he started showing me some nice cars. And guiding
me to the one that I selected except it needed some changes. He said "let me work with my
boss to see if those changes could be accomplished." Thanks to you, and Jason those
changes were
accepted. During the negotiations I felt that Jason was
representing me and I liked that.
In addition, Jason watched over the changes in my absence and
when I took delivery the car was immaculate. Thanks for having him there, I look forward to
working with him again and thank you for your help in making
everything work out for me."
-Edwin B. Kolb
"Jody & Jason, Just wanted to take a minute and
write and Thank You Both again for all the help that you both put in to help me with the purchase of my 1979 Silver
Corvette.
I did not know how the attempt would turn out when I started trying
to buy a
car over the internet, but Jason put up with my phone calls, and
Jody was there
when my Brother and I drove to Atlanta. This was the easiest deal
on a car that I have ever had. So Thank You both again, and I hope to
see you both again in the future.
Thanks"
-K. Kirkland

"I would like to drop a short note to thank Jody
for all his help. Although I bought a Vette somewhere else, Jody was the greatest salesman (Vette enthusiast) I have dealt with
in 30 years. I was interested in two Vettes and he walked me through both from bumper to
bumper; including pictures and numerous phone calls. If I ever buy another Vette, the first
call I'll make is to Jody. What a professional, informed and personal person to deal
with.
Thanks again."
-Robert Denver
"Jimmy, Thanks for your response. My husband
contacted Jack at your center and is on a
plane to Atlanta now to pick up my car. Jack has been fantastic and has
helped my husband get me a wonderful 31st wedding anniversary gift!! Thanks
again"

"Recently I purchased a '71 Stingray Corvette from you
showroom in Atlanta. Your sales associate
Jody Wardlaw was very helpful and courteous often as a young man at a
dealership I am either hounded by salesmen bombarding me with questions before I have a chance to
find what I
was looking for or am completely ignored. I found Jody to be a consummate
professional
he stepped back and was quiet when I was looking but was always their to
answer any question I had. I was very impressed with his vast corvette and general
car knowledge. It may now sound somewhat cliche but Jody truly made the car buying
experience a pleasure. I will most certainly be back sometime in the not so distant
future to
purchase another vehicle. Thank you and keep up the good work."
-Sean Wilson
"I would like to thank John Ivankovich....
John was a very honest, helpful and most informative sales
man I've meet. I really enjoyed his pleasant attitude and
professionalism. Thanks to John he really
sold me on buying a Corvette. The upper management gave me a
great buying experience,
and even did the little things like giving me a calendar, key chains
and telling me about a Corvette show. I would like to say thank you especially to John and the
rest of the staff .
I'm enjoying looking at my 72 Vette war bonnet yellow in the garage.
Its so nice I'm still a
little scared to take it out with the traffic and bad Atlanta
drivers. I enjoy just looking at my Corvette because its a beautiful demonstration of artwork,
its the Monet of the car world.
Thanks so much."
-Mark Darrell Heath
"Jimmy, just wanted to drop you a note and say how
much we enjoyed our visit to your showroom, and the quality time we
spent with David. He took the time to answer all my questions
and never attempted to steer me away from the car we are looking at
to another model. I felt no pressure from him, and that's the
way I enjoy purchasing a car. He is truly an asset to your
organization. I looked forward to doing business with you and David in the very near future.
Thanks....."
-Don Holifield
"Jimmy, Thank you to your dealership and especially
Jody Wardlaw for the professional low pressure sales
experience. We love our 2003 50th Anniversary Convertible!
Although I was very "worried" about
buying a car from so far away, Jody made the experience so very
pleasant. He kept in contact with us regularly and when we got there he made myself and my wife feel as
comfortable as
if we were visiting his home. He took care of the details and made
the trip well worth the effort. We both walked away feeling that both side got a fair deal. In
today's world it is so rare to find a man whose "word is his bond". Jody is one of those
rare men. I
would certainly recommend ASC and most especially Jody to any of my
friends or colleagues looking for a Corvette. Thank You!"
-Terrence C. Nies
"I recently purchased a 93
corvette convertible from your sales person Jody. I researched all
over Canada and the USA and I was led to believe by Jody that this
particular car was low
miles and in excellent condition. He took pictures of the car as we
spoke on the phone and told me exactly what he thought the condition the car was in. So I
bought the car,
sight unseen, based on what Jody had told me over the phone and by the
pictures he sent me. The car arrived last week in Canada and I was very nervous
about picking it up, wary of the condition that it would be in. I couldn't
believe my eyes.
The car was in the condition that Jody had told me it would be, to the
letter....It is nice to know that there are some salesman that you can still
trust. I would recommend Jody and your dealership to anyone looking for a Corvette."
-John Yarnold
"Jason Pirkle and the organization he sells for have provided me with the
pleasure of owning a 70 LT-1
that I am truly pleased with. Initiated with a Google search and
concluded with the car arriving to the wharf at Wellington New Zealand in unmarked condition is an
achievement that
all involved can be proud of. There were many e-mails to Jason, all
promptly returned, with questions about the cars condition and authenticity. Finally my
inspection on
arrival indicated that Jason had truly been honest about all
aspects of the car. Interestingly
and very pleasingly the car has turned out to be remarkably original and
un-molested. My 13 year old daughter Page took the day off school and was rewarded with
to
her the honor of a person taking a photo of the car on the motorway as
we
drove home, which is now top of her list of things to tell her friends
of impressive
Corvette facts. Not really expecting the original radio to even work and
finding that not only it did, but Jason had also managed to achieve it bursting
into live
perfectly tuned to our local station. Playing "Cher" is it bring back
time?
Thanks Jason and ASC, I wish you well."

"Jody you made the inspection and buying process a
pleasure. You were easy to deal with and full of information. You made buying my first Vette a wonderful
experience."
Thanks again"
-Mike and Lori Farmer
"Jody, Just wanted to let
you guys know that I made it home just after midnight Sunday
morning. The trip went fine
(with my 1974 Silver Convertible). No problems. I would have
kept the top down the whole way, but met
with rain just outside of Nashville. By the way, the wife loves it
too. It was sunny earlier today so we got to cruise around with the top
down and it was really nice. She met me
with Champagne in the garage when I got home so we could toast
to the car. Thanks again for all
of your help."
-Marshall N., Indianapolis, IN.
"The car looks so great. Everyone says like new. You guys did a great job. Thanks so much."
-Philip
"Just wanted to let you know that we are very pleased with the Vette
we got from you, and wanted to thank you for your kindness and professional help while we were at your location."
-Mike Ricketts
"Knowledgeable sales staff, feels like I'm working with my best
friends. I've purchased several Corvette from American Sportscar Center. I love just going by to peek at the
new goods."
-John Lane
"Thank you very much for my 69' Vette. I live in Houston, Texas and I was
skeptical about buying a car over the internet, but the staff at American Sportscar Center made
it very easy. When the car arrived it was everything I hoped for and more."
-Marty Hebert
"I appreciate all the help you gave me with finding my
car. I knew the car I wanted was very rare, but you were able to
locate it within a few weeks. The price was very reasonable
too. Thanks a lot."
-David Webb
"I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the way
you handle the sale of my four cars and the way I was treated by all of your staff. Your company was highly
recommended to me and I now understand why. Your staff were professional, treated me with courtesy and respect, kept
me informed and complied with my wishes on the sale of all four of my Corvette. I would not
hesitate to refer anyone to you who wishes to buy or sell a Corvette."
-Cheryl E. Nelson
"It is fantastic to be around so many great Corvette
that you had on your lot. When I went there with my wife, I had no idea that I would find "THE CAR". My intent
was to go and drive a few of the bumper cars that you had in stock so that I would know if I truly wanted a Vette from
68-72. Everybody went out of their way to be courteous and extremely helpful and me feel I was
the only customer that you had. You encouraged me not to only look, sit-in, and feel all of your
cars, but also to drive any and all that you had. You were honest and forthright about each of the vehicles that I was
interested in and did not lead, steer, or try to hard sell me. It was a dream- come- true to find the 1968
Corvette Roadster that you had sitting on your lot and I can truly say it is the most beautiful Corvette I have ever seen
(I have been looking for over 20 years). I will always be grateful and will sing you praise to anyone that
will listen."
-Tom Williams
"I just wanted to take a moment to
thank you for not being a "Used car Salesman" during my resent purchase. In the past, I have always encountered
salesmen who were too high pressure. After speaking to you on your lot for just a few minutes, I knew
that there was a highly probability that we could do business. You patiently showed me every car
that interested me without giving the typical "pep" talks. You let me look until I found one
that I wanted to test drive. After the test drive, you allowed me time to consider the
purchase. I took the car to my
mechanic, to verify all of your claims. Everything that you said was absolutely true.
When I returned it took less than 15 minutes to close the deal. I sincerely believe that the deal was
fair
for both parties. I will gladly give your card to anyone that I know that is looking for a
Corvette. When I
am ready for a different Vette, you can be assured that I will visit you 1st and probably last."
-James Stanley
"Just wanted to thank you and Jim for all your help, I am
very happy with the car. I never bought a car without seeing it, but
it was as you described and I am sure I will enjoy it for many years.
Thank you for the service and if I am looking for another car or know of
someone who wants a car I will certainly give you and your company a call."
-Joe Singlenton
"Just a note in reference to my recent
purchase. I am really enjoying the yellow Corvette I bought from your dealership. It has proved to be an excellent
purchase, and I wanted you to know how I felt. Also, I wish to thank both of you for your after
purchase efforts. You were very helpful and every-thing went smoothly, from the first initial meeting, through my enjoyment
now! Everyone including your support people were top notch, and I couldn't ask for more."
-Chuck Home
"This car is everything and more than what we had seen on
the website. We were afraid of purchasing over the web, but it turned out to be a pleasant experience and very
convenient for your
dealership to have specialized financing needed to make the purchase. I have owned two (2) Vette's in the
past, but this is Bob's first and he is so excited, which makes it all the more enjoyable for me. We have had
several years of caring for family members, now its our turn and we can't
wait!! If we are fortunate enough to purchase another Vette we will be coming back to American Sportscar Center."
-Andrea Maggard
"Thank you for your great service.
It was a pleasure to deal with you."
-Richard Brown
"I love my Vette. It drives and looks
awesome. All my friends are envious. Also, I wanted to
thank everybody for making this purchase such an enjoyable one. It was the
easiest, hassle free auto purchase I ever made, and conducted with the utmost professionalism and courtesy.
I am very impressed with the way you conduct business and will not hesitate to
recommend your company to everyone I know. Again, thank you for everything and good driving to
you."
-Walter Baer
"Just a short note to say how pleased I am wit the recent
purchase of my 1999 Vette. All of the folks at your dealership were extremely helpful. Todd was great to work
with, I have given his name to several people already. Thanks, for a good buying
experience."
-Jack Ray
"I would like to thank the owner of American Sportscar
Center Jimmy Almond and his salesman Jason Clark. On fathers day, their was a miss understanding about the car lot being
open. After driving 3.5 hrs, when I got there the lot was closed. I called Mr. Almond at his
home. He told me he was sorry and asked me if I could wait. He started calling his sales people and Jason
dropped everything and came down. He showed me around and did not pressure me about any of the cars I looked
at. To make a long story short, I was so pleased with their service that I bought a 93' Vette
that day. I was looking at several different places, but it was their professional service and
friendliness that made up my mind. I would recommend them to anyone."
-Jim Dodd
"I love the Vette!! This is the nicest cat that I have
ever owned! I have had so many positive comments by people about what a great car it is. I wanted to express my thanks
to you. Jody, you are the best sales person
that I have ever had the pleasure of working with!! You made the
whole process so comfortable. I
hope and I'm sure that your boss appreciates you, I know Debbie and I
do!! Best wishes to you."
-Mike Gray
"On March 31, 2005 I purchased a 1970 Corvette from
your representative Jack Gentle. I had stopped by your showroom a
few
weeks before as I had browsed your web site. Jack greeted me and led
me to your back garage and through your back
lot to browse to my heart’s content among the Vettes. I did ask Jack
if he was St. Peter as I think I had died and gone
to Corvette heaven. Jack did not try to pressure me, just the
opposite. He allowed me to drive any Corvette I showed
an interest in and unlike any other used car salesman in the world
pointed out flaws and reasons I should consider certain vehicles as I had told him I am a driver not a mechanic. My
Corvette is everything I had hoped it would be
and more and driving it back the 225 miles to our home in Tennessee
was great. I am looking forward to wonderful
weekend drives plus the 3 day C-3 Corvette home coming in October at
the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, Ky. Thanks again to all of your employees for the courtesy they showed
myself and to my wife."
-Bruce A. Walters
"Jody, I
wanted to take a moment and thank you. Dealing with you and
American Sportscar center Inc.
has been the single most enjoyable car buying experience I have
had....and not just because you have
a great product and inventory. You answered all my questions
directly, were knowledgeable and courteous and obviously have a great deal of enthusiasm for your
work. I'm sure my '77 will be a great advertisement for you and you can be sure I will pass along your
names well
as the great experience I have had."
-Bryan S. Loucks
"Jimmy
Almond the General Manager is an “Ole Corporate Road Warrior” that
grew tired of the hassles of
Corporate America and traveling. Therefore, he made a decision to
begin doing something he loves to do -
Buying and Selling Corvette. As a result of his decision and a
recommendation of a close friend (71 Vette
Owner) who purchased a car from ASC, Kathryn and I are the proud
parents of a 22,000 mile, one owner Corvette that we purchased from ASC. The day we visited Jimmy, it was
near closing time on Sunday
and he showed us every car on his property. On Valentine’s Day, we
purchased a 1993 40th Anniversary
Black Convertible with Black Leather Interior (Black on Black on
Black) and Jimmy located a black
hardtop to complete this incredible package. He also changed tires
and wheels for a reasonable price to
compliment this car and it is a dream that has finally come true for
me. At age 57, I am able to own a car
model (Corvette) that I have admired since 1960. Jimmy was most
patient with me. He and my wonderful wife held my hand thru this scary purchase because I have always been
extremely conservative and would
not buy anything for myself. My wife is the Vette expert and Jimmy
treated her with dignity throughout
this process and never once ignored her comments or questions. Too,
Jimmy went the additional mile and helped us obtain a Wynn’s Warranty for 36 months or 36,000 additional
miles on a 13 year old car. In our opinion, the staff at ASC are very professional, personable, fun
loving and genuinely proud for
you when you complete your dream. You see, they love Corvette,
too. OH YES, we thought this was it, but Jimmy needed to make some adjustments and install the hard top on
our car so we left it with him
for a few weeks. Upon our return to pick up the car, we browsed the
lot to see what was there.
After Jimmy and his patient staff moved multiple cars (10) for us to
view and drive, Kathryn made a decision to purchase her fourth Corvette. She now has a 2000 Pewter
Corvette with Black Leather Interior with a Black Rag Top and 26,000 miles. This car will fly! Once again,
Jimmy and his staff performed as
they did with the first car. We can honestly say that ASC is the
place to purchase your next Corvette if you
are looking for a professional and knowledgeable staff, a quality
automobile for a reasonable price and service AFTER the sale. In closing, it was an awesome experience to
buy our dreams from a man who
has become our personal friend. Mid-life crisis; I don’t think so,
but it is a completion of a long term goal and dream. Thanks Jimmy and ASC Staff for making our dream a
reality! Regards as You seek to find Your Dream Corvette."
-Kathryn and Skip T.
"You've got a great employee with Jody
Wardlaw. While I bought a 1967 Corvette from someone else,
maybe I should have bought one from you, with Jody. He went
way out of his way, calling me here at the office, at home and on my cell phone, trying to keep me informed about
cars that he knew I
would be interested in. Even after I bought the car
elsewhere, he followed up, calling me at
home and offering help with parts, restoration, etc.
Although I have never met Jody, I have
certainly enjoyed speaking with him and have appreciated all
of his help. He is a real asset to your dealership. He has such a positive attitude
that you just have to like him,
and I expect to do business with him and you in the future.
Thanks for all your help."
-Van Taylor
"Jack, we just wanted to say thank you
for affirming that it is possible to do business over
the internet with a
dealer that has the customer's best interest at heart.
As you know I was quite skeptical initially, feeling as though I was making a blind purchase. I want to say I was very pleased to
find the car was exactly
as you described after driving 1000 miles on your word!
It was a joy to drive home and
31 mpg was an added bonus!"
-Chris Snyder, NY
"Yeeesssssssss!!!! I just received my Vette Friday!!! The car is very nice,
and runs perfectly. Here on French
roads, it seems an alien directly landing
from Mars! People are just crazy when they see and hear it
(beautiful sound!!)! I am so happy Jody, it's a
child dream became true!"
-Lionel Aubert
"Jack: Just a note to let you know how pleased Fannie Mae
and I are with the car. Buying it was a great
experience and entertaining what with Jody's skydiving
video. We will give your card to anyone
that is looking for Vette."
-Gary&Mae Van Hooser
"I have
been looking on your website for my dream car for many
months; in fact it started while I was deployed to Iraq earlier this year. Once I returned to Fort Hood in Texas I began
to contact Jody Wardlaw, he has been a tremendous help and has answered all of my questions. Two
weekends ago I purchased
the Bronze 1968 Corvette Convertible and it has been a
joy since. Mr. Wardlaw was a great help and I went with confidence knowing that I would get excellent service and
a great deal. Thank
you so much for providing a dream for Corvette lovers. I
can not wait till the 2008 model comes
out so I can go back to Jody and purchase that model
year, and then I guess I have to wait
till 2048 to keep the trend going. Again, thank you so
much for the great service and time."
-V/R Mario C.,
Cataula, Ga
"Jody, I love my 2002 Yellow Vette. I enjoyed my
experience at American Sportscar, and all of the
staff there is very polite and helpful."
-Ken Lee.
"Jody, Thanks for the pleasant
experience in completing our Corvette trade.
I'm glad
to hear you were able
to sell my '73 - as I really enjoy my bright
red '85.I really appreciate your attention to detail
in answering my questions, your product knowledge and your professionalism. When we
finished the paperwork, normally a hand shake and "see ya later" would finalize the deal. However
I was very
impressed with the walk-through of the vehicle
inspection and our Q&A session. But more important, I was impressed with your and the dealership's integrity to
stand by a deal made. It is evident you enjoy your work, know the value of a satisfied
customer and repeat business. I will be back."
-Ken
"Jody and the Crew at
ASC, Just wanted to send a little note telling you
how pleased Martha and I have been with the purchase of the '95 Aqua Convertible! Ecstatic doesn't even
come close to describing
the feeling when we are behind the wheel of that
car! Jody, I have purchased many cars in my
life, but you actually made the purchase of our new Corvette a joy (something I
cannot say with the purchase of MANY of the others!). You were very
professional with the transaction, all the while keeping a light-hearted approach to the deal. We couldn't be more pleased!
Thank you for
all your help. We will DEFINITELY be sending you
some business, as well as being "repeat offenders" ourselves, LOL! I can't wait until my NEXT purchase! Thanks SO MUCH, again!"
