If you use the VD's, be prepared to wait they don't really pay attention to you unless you're one of their high end customers

Indeed. Also, be prepared to have surgery because they'll most likely want your spleen and perhaps a limb as payment.

P.S. This is not meant to impugn their work. Simply saying that they are pricey.

So who's their competition or their equal in the area to "do work on Corvettes"? Not being argumentative, but if there's no competition, we all know what happens after that, right?

No, I absolutely agree. And as I said, I in was in no way impugning their work. I just thought that the gentleman who asked should be prepared for what may occur.
