Default Local Vette shops

Hi all, Id like to start a thread so people could post info about their favorite vette repair shops across the United States. Just general info about locations and experiences so some of us could find a good independent vette shop Possibly near our own areas, I live in Erie PA and am having a tough time finding a local place I trust with my 2003 vette. I am willing to travel a little, say a 100 miles in any direction except north ( cause I would end up in the lake). Hope this helps someone, thanks to the forum in advance.

OK, I'll start. I've had a number of vettes and only take them to the same shop. Gallants in Bel Air. 410 879 0123 They are top of the line for Corvette repairs. Never had a problem after any repair. http://gallantsvettes.com/

We do not have any Vette shops close by here. Believe it or not, I have always taken mine to a local Chevy dealer (Putnam Chevrolet in California, MO) and they have done excellent work on the cars. Fair prices, fixed right the first time and no .

With the bad economy, you have to be careful that they tend to rob Peter to pay Paul. Short cut opportunities are many.
