Default Help in St. Louis

Well after two years of searching I found an acceptable 1981 vette. Not perfect, but good for a nearly 30 year old car. Now, my question to my St. Louis friends are/is....where is a good place to have the car worked on and serviced for those items I cannot or should not do myself. I live in the City and prefer a small shop....any ideas and thanks.

P.S. Guess I need to change name to 4 Vette Man now.

Wes

Thanks, I have had about a dozen people in the last day tell me about Rizo on Arsenal. That is just a few blocks from my house so Rizo wins.
