Default Sacramento area shops

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations of where you take your cars for service? Folsom Chevrolet is very convenient for me from a location perspective. I also found a place called "Corvette Care" in Rancho Cordova, though there are some concerning comments on YELP regarding them. Anyone have experience with either of these places or have other suggestions?

Thanks!

Abel is the only place I will take mine. Well worth it. No Corvette tax.

So is there really nowhere in Sacramento that provides quality Vette service at a reasonable price?

MSI in Roseville was good, but now they have changed over to gun sales. Not sure how many vettes they are working on but it's worth a call.

MSI is mostly gun stuff now, but Mark still does Vette work by appointment. I go nowhere else when it comes to alignments or other suspension work. A little pricey for an alignment, but he does a thorough and meticulous job that is dead on accurate. Will also do custom settings for you based on your driving style as he did for me. Talk to Mark only if you call. He's sometimes a little hard to reach since he's often out in the shop, but will return your call.

Consider Bill McAnally Racing (BMR) located at 900 Riverside Ave. in Roseville. They are a quality shop with ASE certified techs. Ask for Mike, he is a certified Corvette tech.

Richie is great and I'm sure Able is too now that he is there. I'm just trying to help out with a more local place.
