Engine Repair Question
]Hi Guys. Looks like I have a leaky Head Gasket, or Cracked Head. Should I take it to a dealer, or does anybody know of a good Corvette mechanic in the Alameda/Oakland area of California?

Stay away from the dealer. I've used Yelp.com successfully to find auto repair places that do great work. They have a rating system from the customers that's indepedent. I used Yelp to have a Corvette inspected by a highly rated repair shop in the Bay area and it was a good experience.
