Only guys I know in Houston is England Green but it appears you have a C3 so I dunno if they can help you. You may wanna ask in the Southwest section.

There is a shop on 610 and 45 right off 610 HWY. Very high priced and body work is not that great. Cannot remember the name.

I've used Houston Corvette Service on Steffani Lane before.

http://www.houston-corvette.com/

The owner is a little abbrasive, but his guys know what they're doing.

If you want body or paint work done, there is a shop right down the street from Houston Corvette on Steffani. He's won numerous 'best paint' at the Houston Autorama, and he is the only person I found in Houston that knows how to properly blend candy. I cant remember the business name, but call Kelly at 281-235-7066. He's the owner. Tell him the guy that owns 'No Lady' sent you to him. He'll treat you right.

Carney's Corvette - no longer there.

On the north side, there is Corvettes of Houston on I45, and Frank's Corvettes on Louetta.

Nabers in Houston is the best restoration shop I know of.

I was given a business card to "The Corvette Doctor" in Houston. 713-973-0211, and located on 1330 Sherwood Forest, Houston, TX. I have had no personal experience, but was given this recommendation.

I have used Houston Corvette Service on numerous occasions with great success. Never found Gordon Andrus or Winn (shop foreman) abbrasive during my dealings. This is a good location if you are located on the north side.

As far as Nabers, they are a great full restoration shop, repairs on a C3 is not what they do. They do full restoration unless something has changed in their business plan.

South in Kemah there is Kemah Classics operated by Rob (281) 678-7171. Does a great deal of work on vettes C2's and C3's. He has changed out my brake booster, heater water valve and complete brake job. Wouldn't be taking it back if they didn't do good work.
