Default Any good shops in Monterey CA?

I asked a while back, but is there anyone that knows a reputeable shop that can work a C4/C5 Vette for mechanical work?
Thanks Steve

You might try this over in NorCal Steve. I know there's several quality places in San Jose, but maybe somebody further south will chime in

Try Randy and Mary at Advantage auto. They are near the Navy post grad school at 2100 Del Monte. 372-4188
They are not a corvette shop but randy is sharp. They have been real honest with us and will tell you if it is something they can't do.
For exhaust try Robert at bay muffler in Seaside 394-1333 (he will be back end of February.) Both are reasonably priced.

Man- I've been trying to figure this one out for a dyno tune... doesn't look like there is much love for c4's in Nor-Cal. There are SEVERAL c5/c6 vete' shops in the "Bay" Area though... you can even check out the c5/c6 shops in the vendor search section of this website.

I called a few and they basically refused to work on my c4 (dyno tune) and didn't have any suggestions for me?

Of course being from AZ, I am spoiled with Exotic Muscle, and ZR51 performance (zfdoc.com) and ADS in Chandler.
