There are 8 Orange Counties out there.

I would also choose someone that will work on more than just Zo6. Sorry I couldn't resist.

Welcome aboard the circus.

Haha, It’s ok I walked into that one all by myself. I’m new here, I thought this is only for California residents. So yes Orange County California.

Upper left hand corner of screen there is a dropdown labeled forums.

Go down to where it says upcoming events and regional discussion. It's in there.

the guy I bought my car from said to only use "The corvette shop". in Costa Mesa, no matter how far I had to drive. Good enough of a recommendation for me, the guy seemed solid and carried pictures of the car in his wallet instead of, as he said, his grandkids.

That place was a little too far for me, so have no personal experience with the place, save for experiencing the AC repairs they completed .

Welcome to the forum. I must say, with the newest smog laws there (aka, the no tune law), I'd be thinking "only California residents" if I lived there, too. A buddy of mine moved to California in 1982. He has a couple of '23 Ts, and finally had enough of the DMV last year, so he moved to neighboring AZ after enduring 38 years there.
