Default Need help 1982 corvette

My daughter has moved to San Antonio far from me and my oversight and protection for her 'vette. She has had to date no luck finding a reliable shop in San Antonio. Does anyone know of a good shop in San Antonio or if not Dallas? I don't want her to end up frustrated with her favorite car.

You can go online and try Yelp. That's how I found a reputable shop in the San Francisco Bay area to do a Corvette inspection a few years back. They were 400 miles away and based on the number of reviews (quite a few, positive ones) and the description, it all went really well (didn't buy that particular car, based on their inspection and recommendation).

The Yelp website has a category for car repairs and lists a lot of the shops in any locale. Good luck!

Not San Antonio, but closer than Dallas... Austin Corvette on North Lamar in Austin, just south of Braker.
