Default Need Good Mechanic

Anyone from my area (Central FL) know of a "good" mechanic? I need to have some work done on the "bearings". Any suggestions from my fellow Central Floridians? :rolleyes:

I know a great mechanic in Central Florida... however - he is in West Central Florida (Tampa area)... that seems to be a little bit too far from the FL East Coast...

:cheers:

You can try http://www.corvettemasters.com. Their shop is up in Maitland. I have not had to use them yet, but the guy I bought my vette from took it there for work and he recommended them to me. I haven't had a problem with my vette since I bought it from him, so I am assuming that the work he did was good. If you take your vette there, let me know how you make out.
