Where in MI? What type of work are you looking to have done?

You should post this question in the Great Lakes Regional forum: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/great-lakes-43/

sorry not been specific. I am looking for independent shops that know about Corvette and would install aftermarket parts.

Kenny's Lakes Area Auto Experts in Walled Lake takes care of many of the local Corvettes. (Several of us live in Farmington Hills too.)

I had Kenny's shop replace my stock crank balancer with an ATI unit and ARP bolt last week.
They did an awesome job.
I also had them replaced the accessory drive belts, P/S fluid flush & fill, coolant flush & fill and replaced the upper and lower radiator hoses.
I also had them do an alignment.
Brought the car back after a couple of days to "tweak" the alignment.
They took care of me right away.
I'm a very satisfied customer.

Do you know if they have the adaptor and gauge to set rear caster on a C7?

That's great to hear John. Kenny and his guys have been working on my cars for years and they definitely like taking care of Corvettes.

I don't believe so but they might be able to get them. I'll ask Kenny next time I talk to him.

It would be great if they did. I had talked to Les Stanford about it earlier in the year. At that time, they did not have the equipment. The service manager was going to look into it and get back with me. He did not call.

In either case, Walled Lake would be much closer for me.
