Charlotte, NC Shop to do Wiggle Test
Had my C6Z in for some service and talked to the dealer Vette Mechanic. He said he was uncomfortable doing the wiggle test. I had planned on paying them to do the test but after that conversation I decided he was telling me he didn't want to do it.
So I am looking for a shop I can pay to do the work and repair the problem if one is found. Hopefully, a shop that can work with GMPP. Does anybody from the Charlotte area have a recommendation?

I played around trying to get someone also to do this and finally did the right thing, addressed the issue. I replaced the guides with the bronze option also did SS values. For the time and money you'll spend on getting someone to tell you what you deep down already know, just fix it and then drive it like you stole it. At 21k miles driven like miss daisy on Sunday I was about .003 - .005 from dropping the value. Best money I ever spent.

I am on my second engine. I have GMPP so if an issue is found they will pay to fix the heads. My thoughts are to see if the guides are bad and if they are go with the Katech solution which means bronze guides and stock valves, springs, etc.
