Default Breakdown in NJ

Does anyone have a recommendation on a garage/mechanic to work on a '78 Vette that broke down in Bedminster, NJ? The Vette is from Long Island and I am not familiar with NJ. Thanks

Maybe someone could make a suggestion if you could provide some more info. What's wrong with it? Crank no start - overheated - rear wheel bearing - if it's not a specific "Corvette" problem you may just need a "good" mechanic and not a Corvette specialist. That could open the door for more responses. I hope things work out for you.

20 miles north on 287 in Boonton

Nostalgia Motors. They work on old cars, tune ups to total restorations. I took my vette there a couple of times when I lived in NJ. Thought they were good.

Oldwick Village Garage in Tewksbury...high end shop does a lot of foreign (German, Italian) work. First class, incredibly skilled, expensive. Worth a call.
