Been using Powerhouse Performance for 9 years now and they have wrenched and done MAJOR work to all 4 C5s I have owned in that period. If I didn't feel that they were the best and most reasonable I would not still be giving them my business.
They are located in south suburbs of Chicago Orland Park, IL, just 10 minutes from Harlem Ave and I-80 or Harlem Ave. and I-294, shop right near Harlem and 155th street.
Ask for John, he gets in later Monday through Friday and call at 4:30 p.m. and ask for John specifically. Otherwise, call JOhn on Saturday Mornings after 8:45 a.m.
Tell him I referred you and said that they would take good care of you and your vette.
THeir Phone Number is: 708-342-0043.

I use Finish Line Performance in Naperville, They have cars from all over the midwest and beyond you will be very happy as Dan Bill's is the best tuner you will find anywhere and the shop is second to none, Good luck.

Dan knows his stuff and is a great tuner. If you call, ask to speak with Dan directly and do not deal with anyone else there.

I would suggest Speed Inc in Schaumburg, Jim Moran who does the tuning there is one of the best around.

So the phone rings every 4 minutes and everyone asked to talk to Dan, I bet you don't want Dan at the phone 10 times and hour when he's working on your car Frank, There's a reason Vette guys go there and It's Dan Bills, Just call and get your car in and you will be very happy and no need to get personal on this. Good luck.

To my knowledge, Dan does all the tuning..if I am getting my car tuned there and have questions..I want to speak to the guy tuning my car.
Sure the phone rings there all the time, so if Dan is not available leave a message, there is that neat little invention that has been around a while called Voicemail
If I wanted to get personal, I would have named names in my post. All I meant about not dealing with anyone else, was with regards to Tuning.

And the shots fly!
Im in agreement on the FLP side. Dan Bills is the man. Can we make a vote thing? this seems to come up once a week, itd be better to have a poll of who likes which shop that everyone could just refer to instead of us saying the same things every time on the different but same threads.
