Best shop in Orange County......
For rear end work. Had mine worked on for gear whine, and since then, nothing has gone right. The work is still under warranty and the shop owner has really been great in honoring his warranty, but, it seems like his staff just does not have the expertise and experience to do the work.
Ring and pinion has been replaced 3x; all bearing have been replaced or checked; driveshaft balanced; 4-wheel alignment done; rear suspension mountings checked. He and another reputable company swears the ring and pinion is set up correctly.
On the third fix, the setup was pretty good; only a faint whining at the same speed that I was having the whining noise before. I took it back in to see if they could "tweak" it in. *&^%, I should have left it at that. Since then, everything they have done has not worked out. The noise is worse than when I brought the car to him the first time.

Re: Best shop in Orange County...... (89C4)
There are couple I would recommend:
Anaheim - Corvette Mikes on Tustin, just off the 91 http://corvettemike.com/
Bellflower - J & D Corvette on Alondra west of the 605 http://jdcorvette.com/
There are a few more reputable Corvette shops & dealers but I have delt with these two and found them straight up.

Thanks, subman.
I'll check with Corvette Mike's; they were on my list. Just didn't know who dealt with them.

For years now the garage I've used for all my mods and updates has been:
C&G Auto Repair

Huntington Beach, 92647

Guy the owner.
They have done everything I asked of them.
Try them.
Good Luck
