Default Vette Mechanic - Cincinnati area?

I'm looking to get some basic work done on my C4 as I haven't had time to do it myself. I've heard of Danny Popp (sp?), however, I wanted to avoid the dealership prices if possible.

Does anyone know of someone with experience who can competently work on a Vette? Has anyone ever used Dave's Total Performance in Milford???

I'm willing to go to Dayton, or even Columbus if needed.

Thanks!

I have and in my opinion he is bad news, I would stay away from him. You can look him up on LS1Tech.com there are a lot of negative comments about him there
