Greets guys,

As the title states, anyone in the NJ/PA area have any experience with these guys? My OPS just died and honestly I dont want to attempt taking the intake off to replace it, and I looked at that video and there is no way I can get my hands nor a socket in that location, so I figured I would take it to get it done and was wondering if anyone has ever used them.

Thanks.

They are good, just a little pricey. My buddy had them do a bunch of work to his C3. I also know of several other people who have had work done by them. Everyone was happy with the quality of the work performed there.
To be honest pulling the intake isn't that hard..

They are the only place I take my Vette to. Knowledgeable and honest. And nice guys also. Usually get pretty busy this time of year so you might want to call now.

I can't believe you are seriously looking for information on a shops capability of changing an oil press sensor. With that being said there are a LOT of specialty shops in our area but I think that place may me just right for you.

I'm sure your right, and I saw the write up that was done, but TBH I dont feel confident enough to attempt it.

Actually I wasn't asking just about a OPS, I wanted to know overall because I have a C4 with a couple of things that needed repair and thought I would ask. If you have other places in the area you rely on by all means do tell.

Plus I dont want to just have anyone put their hands on her, they have to be experienced

Well, I do have the best local mechanic around but he doesn't advertize on here so I don't want to throw out any names. I will tell you that your in the best area of the country to find a Vette mechanic.

Well if he's done work for you and your happy with it, PM his info. Finding a good mechanic is not easy these days. I have two in NY but that doesnt help me down here.
