About: Brakes Plus Inc.
Are you in the Chicagoland area?
Brakes Plus, located in Des Plaines Illiinois, is the official shop for both the DigitalCorvettes.com "DC-Z" and our "DC C6". Al Dashto, the owner, can be seen in many episodes of the show "Vette Dogs" and in the first couple of episodes of this seasons "Vette Girl" on www.vettegirl.tv.
Al's shop works on everything, but there is a steady stream of seriously wicked Corvettes and Vipers pulling out of there!
Besides working on all Corvettes, Al can often be seen making his silly-fast ZR-1 even faster. (photo below)
If you are in the Chicagoland area, give Al a shout if you want your Corvette faster... or fixed! Whatever you do, don't let him take you for a ride in his ZR-1 unless you want to have a heart attack. 
33 S. EAST RIVER ROAD
DES PLAINES, IL 60016
(847) 827-9900

It's OK Becky, she was a Vette ... not another lady .... |

I loved that '96 GS. It was a gem. I do enjoy looking at old pics of it. If it wasn't totalled after I sold it, I would have likely bought it back already. |

RACING...Because with baseball, football, basketball, tennis, and golf, you only need one ball
I used to think that I had learned patience as I got older. Then I realized that I just didn't give a shit |
