Sorry to hear of your troubles...
Find a local Corvette club and get recommendations from them about the best independent Corvette shop in your area. Then go by there and talk to the owner and mechanics and get a feel for the place.
In the Puget Sound area, we're lucky to have 2 or 3 good ones to choose from...
Good luck.

Be careful with indepent shops also..I used one who came highly recommended, of course he ends up in a nasty divorce right in the middle of doing work to my car!!! He got sloppy and I ended up having to take him to court!!!

in shop 2 days.
They called Me and said the column lock malfunctiond and car would not go over 2MPH. ( They did the recall fix almost a year ago and I never had any problem at all ) I didn't have a problem before the recall.
Well that was another $191.27 for a lock actuator plus $114.04 for a harness that they installed at recall time.
My bill for a stupid window repair cost me $1,392.80 with laber and tax.
I have to go back in the morning because now My CD 12 pack changer does not work at all.
I just know they are going to say that the CD changer not working is a coincidence like they said the column lock was. Everything worked just fine except for the window when I went in.
Oh yea!!! The key fob did not work when I stoped at Sams club on the way home but I know how to reset it so it was not a big deal.
The door and window was filthy dirty.
I really hate going back tomorrow for the CD player run around I'm sure I will get but I don't have much choice.
I did call GM to inform them of my feeling of being way overcharged and why should I have to pay for a column lock repair that the dealer did less then a year ago at the recall.
If I don't get a decent explenation from GM I will call the dept of consumer affairs and file a complaint.
