Recommended shops in the Philly area?

Hi, new C6 owner here.

Just wondering what other members recommend for:

Good dealership that can service Corvettes properly.

Good shop for stuff like installing headers, etc.

Good shop for alignments, wheel mounting and balancing.

Thanks.

For alignment I recommend:
Mickey's Suburban Alignment
950 Sussex Blvd.
Lawrence Park Industrial Center
Broomall, PA
610-544-9995
The owner is Al and he does Corvettes.

Talk to Chris or Doug at East Coast Supercharging. They have also helped me out with troubleshooting other issues.

The only dealer to go to is Bryner Chevrolet in Jenkintown. Their Vette specialist, Steve Spencer is the best there is without question.

If you are a member of Corvette Club of Delaware Valley you get a discount on service. Check out www.ccdv.com

For MODS check out Harris Speed Works in Warminster PA

I will have to look him up.

I want someone to do a good alignment after I lower my car. The last two places I tried weren't so great.

My European car mechanic is really good for alignments and they will work on Corvettes for alignment (nothing else, though).

Woodlawn Foreign Car Service
454 W. Woodlawn Street
Philadelphia, PA
215-843-5939

I'm leery about taking wheels there though, because they have a really old mounting and balancing machine- I don't want to take the risk with either a set of BBS or CCW wheels (I'm getting one of them).

They are one of the major sponsors of our autocross events, but I'm much closer to Broomall and try to avoid driving the Z into Philly, even though I work at 15th and Market.

They do good mod work as well. For mods contact Dale Cherry at Injection Connection, he will get the most power from your car, both JD's and Injection Connection have in house dyno's
