About Mid America Motorworks

As Mid America Motorworks has evolved and undergone numerous physical expansions throughout 35 years in business, obviously, its departmental structure has grown to accommodate those changes. The company currently has over 140 people employed, most of whom originate from the Effingham area (a far cry from Mike's one-man show in the beginning, wouldn't you say?!).

Departments at Mid America Motorworks

Our Sales Representatives pride themselves on friendly service and extensive product knowledge. Before you pick up that telephone to place an order, review these simple guidelines first to make the most of your ordering experience:

1. Prepare to give your Sales Representative your customer identification number, located on the address label of your catalog.
2. Your knowledge of basic order information such as size, color, and part number is helpful, along with your Corvette's stats like year, transmission type, body style and interior/exterior colors.
3. Phone lines are least congested on Thursdays, Fridays and outside the lunch hour. Place orders between those hours if you're in a rush.
4. Finally, anytime you use a credit card, have the number and expiration date readily available.

Using these tips to your advantage will speed up the order process, and eliminate the chance of miscommunication between you and your Sales Representative.
