Default Minnesota Shops?

Just picked up my 2011 C6 Base Vert. She’s already put away for winter. I’m looking to you folks for your Corvette mechanic shop recommendations here in Minnesota.

thanks

I’m looking to have a set of Morimoto headlights installed, a royal flush, pads rotors and a tune up.

As a side note, rickmc, you might like to check out Corvettes of Minn and Classic Corvettes of Minn. Both close to Eagan. I'm in Farmington and try to make both monthly meetings.

Go to Valley Alignment in Moorhead. Tim Toso there is an NHRA tech inspector, so you know he does not cut any corners.

Eric Kathy works with Tim and is hella knowledgeable and skilled.
