Default Tampa Corvette Mechanic

I just recently purchased a 95' Corvette and I'm noticing a few issues that I'd like to address. Does anyone know of a reliable/honest mechanic in the Tampa, FL / surrounding area that you can recommend?
Word of mouth and personal experience means more to me than internet search and reviews.

Recommendations Needed:
Mechanic ( corvette drivetrain and routine maintenance experience)
Upholstery ( to address headliner )
Paint/body ( to address gas cap cover / lid )

You might try posting this in the Southeast Regional section of the forum.
Also a great source is any corvette clubs in your area. They often have the best info on trusted corvette shops.

I would look for vette clubs in the area and contact them for recommendations
