Abel Chevy

Another vote for Abel Chevy. They just replaced my heads on my 2008 C6 Z06 under warranty, they did a great job. Just got the car back last Friday, runs great. Thanks Abel.

Special Thanks to Rich.

Hi Steve. Like it fine but my favorite was the 2000. Much more room and rear visibility. The rear camera in the 2016 helps a lot when backing. You still have the white C5?

David Bonar's place. He used to be an active autocrosser back in the 90's when I was in NorCal. A solid guy with a good reputation.

Go with Abel Chevrolet. You will wonder why you ever went anywhere else.

Oh, and when you arrive and lay eyes on 10 modded vettes in and around the service department, you'll know you've come to the right place.

My best advice (from a CF OG) is to find a shop that can do it all including tuning. Then stick with them. I've seen enough people who went here and there to get the lowest price on mods. Then when your car fails nobody will take responsibility because everybody else worked on your car and they have no idea what they did and if it was done to specs or completed correctly.
