Default Corvette mechanics in Va?

First off, I want to wish everybody a safe and prosperous New Year--
Lord knows we need it for all the mods we want for our cars
But that being said, I have three other cars that my local mechanic takes pretty good care of but I'm a little hesitant to let them get too far into my Vette. I'd prefer someone who has the know-how necessary to fix things without causing some other problem/damage along the way. Their experience is pretty much with older vettes(C3-4) and I cannot seem to find any specialty shops here in SW Va. (except for the dealer-and we all know what that can cost). Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Hey there! I am in Rocky Mount myself. To be honest there is VERY little in our neck of the woods. I heard about someone in Bedford that may have some Vette knowledge. I'll see what I can find out.



EDIT: Here's their website: http://www.dirtydirtyracing.com/zc/

Great, thank you. Was hoping for someone closer to home & find it a little suprising that there is no one in an area as large as Roanoke.
