Default 99 Vert Engine Work Houston Area?

I just sucked up water in my motor and it sounded like I bent a rod or something. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Houston Tx area to work on it. 99 convertible.

Thanks in advance.

Call Frank's Corvettes in Spring. I have been hearing a lot of good things about them. They not only sell cars but do full service work on Corvettes too.

I had them do a starter in my car. They installed it ok and charged a fair price, but they crossed up my O2 sensors and laid the wires across my headers. Car ran like **** and the wires melted to the headers. Never went back to tell them because I didn't want to deal with a Corvette expert of this caliber again.

Just a FYI
