Default Shop Needed in Upstate New York

Hi folks.

Can anyone refer a good shop for my 79 vette? I need simple repairs now (shocks, exhaust, headers, etc) but may want to do some custom work later. I'm located in Rockland County, NY which borders Westchester County, NY , Orange County, NY and upper NJ. I like my current shop, but i dont think they have the qualifications for a vette!

Thanks!
BDL

You might try Jim Glass Corvette Specialists, in Kingston, NY. They're probably 60-70 miles north of you, which may be further than you want to travel, but they still might be worth considering.

Jim's been in business for over 35 years. He services Corvettes, sells used Vettes, sells parts, restores cars and sells, restores and maintains vintage race cars.

You can check them out at www.jimglasscorvette.com.

If you talk to him, tell him you got his number from Glenn, his parts and racing buddy in NJ.

They consider anything north of NYC upstate. I suspect they think we
are part of Canada.
