Vette Doctors

Anyone have work done by Vette Doctors on Long Island. I want some work done on my '02Z and am looking for recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

C5 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019

Dennis Hemmerly, the owner, is a good friend of mine. He freshened up the LT5 and a bunch of other mods in my 1990 ZR-1, back in 1998, and did a great job. He's a heckuva engine builder.
He's freshening up a supercharged LS6, in a 2003 C5Z, at the shop now. I would recommend him, highly.

I went to those guys probably 20 years ago with my '90 ZR-1. They replaced a cam chain tensioner due to the infamous start up rattle, and I had them install new tires while they had it. When I picked it up, 3 out of 4 rims were scratched. When I noted that to them they said they farm out the tire installs, and I would need to take it up with that shop if I thought it was a problem. While driving it home, I started to smell smoke. I pulled over and popped the hood. I found a shop rag they left behind that was about to catch fire from the exhaust manifold. I'd heard they were the best, which is why I went to them, but frankly they were pretty flip about the whole thing.

Before investing time, money and effort with any company you should always go to the transactions forum and check out the company. Ask over there for accurate information. Seems this company has a spotty reputation according to other members posts...
