The best shop anywhere near Delaware is County Corvette Inc. 610-696-7888. I wouldn't trust anyone else. These people sleep, eat and know Corvettes. They've worked on every Corvette I've owned save for my first. They are expert, and I can't stress that enough. But if your car isn't worked on correctly, you'll be beating yourself up for a long time.

Not worth the trip unless it's big stuff. They have the rep but when I took mine in for an oil change (pricy at that) they did not even reset the change oil message. Never went back...

Horse power addicts is in deleware and they do great work. I drove from philly to get them to work on my car. Plus the price they offered for a cam install was amazing . They are also a vendor on here.

Just a little out of your way but RKT Performance in Frederick, Md is the only Corvette shop I will use. Call Rick Kim, he is a top mechanic . He replaced my valve springs, installed my Xenon ACA lights and and changed all my fluids. He can do just about anything on a Corvette. He is also a Forum vendor.
