Have a 1988 Corvette Coupe / C4, 70,000 miles, second owner.
Looking for a quality service / repair facility between Canton, Ohio and New Philadelphia, Ohio.
Any good info is appreciated.
Hi Bob, I have an 88 myself that I've had for about 6 months now. I live in SoCal so can't help ya with a shop recommendation but I've done alot of the work myself. If you're able to do that, it's not a bad thing and you learn alot about the car. Most of the repairs there are videos on and threads here. It's a little challenging but not impossible.
I agree that it is a "Chevy 350". But nothing goes wrong with the "350" part of a C4, it is everything else on, around, and associated with that "350". B: "Good GM mechanics" that have been working on GM vehicles for less than 30 years are more accustomed to working on the LS platform with OBD II or CANBUS which tells them what to change.
There are many tasks that go quicker and easier with less trauma and broken 30-40 year old parts if the guy doing the work has done it before. Changing a window motor is easy. Removing the door panel without damaging it requires knowing how to do it. I bet you could ask 20 "good GM mechanics" how to pull the flash codes on an OBD I platform, and maybe 2 of the 20 might know.
