Arizona Guy's........quality/knowledgable local GM dealers and local perf shops???
(Phoenix area or other surrounding city areas to Phoenix)
Arizona guys what reputable dealerships and perf. shops are you taking your cars to for WARRANTY work, general maintenance, check-ups and/or performance mods, etc. List the name of the dealership, perf. shop, location, point of contact/number, etc. I have an '09 C6 Z06. Thanks.

Top gear motorsports in Mesa is the only place I've taken any of my vehicles to. He can do aftermarket warranty work but you'll need to ask him about the factory warranty stuff. He's done my jeep, our gto, my z, my old gto and countless other vehicles my friends and family have owned. Sean is excellent.
I've also heard very good things about Joe who owns Cordes Performance and Racing.

I use Thoroughbred Chevy, 2121 N Arizona Ave, they are just North of Warner in Chandler.
George Ifill is the service contact I use, very friendly, fair and courteous. The issues I had were not too deep, so I can't speak of their competence on a "big" problem. All work done was explained to me in a clear manner. Check their website for further info.

I killed my engine/trans warranty real early and the rest when I passed 100K before the 5 year mark. Warranty was the only reason I used a dealer for work.
I've used 3 performance shops and all 3 have made errors. Two of them nearly cost me a transmission. Some of the personel have changed at those places, but I still won't go back. I do 95% of my own work anyway.
If you join Arizona Corvette Enthusiasts, you'll hear about one of those shops and another one that just opened recently that I have not seen yet.
The monthly lunch is this Saturday if you're interested in meeting a bunch of Vette people.

I take all my work to Lund Cadillac,as I bought my 2010 GS there. I also know they will put a tune on your Vette that will be under warranty. They always treat me like a King and are very courteous,friendly and everyone I've talked to that works there,likes their job. Plus many customers love the place.
The only work i've had them do so far,are oil changes and had a clear bra put on.

ACE is full of good people and good advice. Though I don't always agree with their opinions on shops. Mostly just one shop though.

As far as dealers, I have been using Freeway Chevrolet on Ray Rd and I-10 in Chandler. Only for basic stuff like oil changes, etc.. I will take it there if I have any warranty work that needs to be done. Fortunately, up to this point, I have not had to. They have a nice modern shop that is all indoors and a pit for oil changes so they don't have to jack the car up, etc...
For major work or performace mods, I just started using Xtreme Motorsports in Tempe. They are on University Drive near ASU. Jan is the owner and I have worked with Randy. They specialize in Corvettes but wil work on other performance cars too.
I have been very happy with both places so far as long as they use them for what they specialize in.

Guys thank you very much for the leads and info.
I will check in to the Arizona Corvette Enthusiasts; didn't know about them.
I will check the shops mentioned and make a choice. I usually do my own work, but just wanted to know who you guys would recommend. Thanks a bunch.
