Houston Area Service for C5?

Can anyone recommend a place I can take my C5 for service in Houston? The dealers don't strike me as being very capable. I need to have some work done. Thanks.

As far as a Dealership, I've had the greatest service @ Charlie Thomas Chevrolet on the Gulf Frwy and BW8. Each time I had my baby in (once for the brake booster, and recently for the slave cylinder) I have worked with Gary, he is very professional and provides quick service.

Good Luck

If you are looking for warranty work, take it to James Bragg(shop foreman) at Bill Heard, he's one of the finest Vette guys in the country & he's cool as hell too(a real car guy). He's the only guy at a "dealer" that I let touch my car.

I've had real good luck with Timmer's in Pasadena. If your not from that side of town though it's a bit inconvienent.

If you want really good service take it to a performance shop. There are several here on the forum to choose from. If you need warranty work done Bill Heard is o.k. I've tried Robbins Chevrolet and Courtesy Chevrolet, they both suck but, Courtesy does have a good body shop. I had a couple of scratches removed there. I've heard from others that Landmark sucks as well. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out. :D

I use Corvette's of Houston for service work. They do a good job, and are a much better alternative than a dealership. :cheers:
