Bill’s Ultimate Auto Services caters to Corvettes and much more Stan Weremecki with some of the area cars his shop has worked on. f you own a Corvette, or if you love your car as if it were a Corvette, and you want it to have the ultimate in care, you’ll get exactly that at Bill’s Ultimate Auto Services. Corvettes were “the thing” when Stan Weremecki was growing up, so he bought and restored older models and grew his passion into a successful business, restoring not only Corvettes but muscle cars and late model performance cars as well. With more than 50 years of combined experience in repairs and restoration, his staff knows Corvettes “inside and out.” Stan himself owns four: two 1967s, one of which is a convertible; a ‘91 convertible and a ’74 coupe. Their ASE-certified technicians can tackle any domestic or foreign car job, from a tune up or engine repair to taking the entire car apart for a total rebuilt taking more than a year to complete. They do custom I engine work and detailing, suspension and alignment, exhaust systems, transmissions, air conditioning and performance modifications. All work is done in-house for maximum quality control. The company even has its own full-service paint and body shop ((license # 02187A) on Greenwood Avenue, where they handle all makes and models. Bill’s Ultimate Auto Services’ reputation attracts clients from all over the East Coast. “You can’t find people nowadays that understand these cars. Stan and Joe (Ultimate’s technician) are Corvette owners themselves; they’ve worked on them,” says Gene Noll of Wyckoff, whose ’78 Trans Am engine was totally rebuilt by Ultimate. “Their knowledge is priceless. If you pulled into a GM dealer with a Trans Am, they wouldn’t know what to do; their computer won’t tell them.” Jed Strasser, who owns a ’71 Corvette, is another very satisfied customer. “He literally restored my entire car – interior, paint, brake pads, engine. He’s good at what he does, and you get quality for your money. And he stands behind his work with no problem,” says the Fair Lawn resident, who’s dealt with many shops in the 27 years he’s had his car. Stan’s first garage was at the station on Godwin Avenue (now a Delta station) next to Legends Restaurant. An environmental incident there forced him to recently relocate to the Wortendyke section of Midland Park at the Valero station, 595 Godwin Avenue. All cars are kept indoors overnight in the new, spacious garage for maximum security and weather protection. Cars can also be kept there on consignment for the convenience of clients. All repair work is guaranteed for 90 days for parts and labor. Call 201-670-6604 to experience Bill’s Ultimate Auto Services’ professional, friendly service, or stop in to discuss your car’s needs.
