What type of work are you looking to have done? They are very good at NCRS type restorations for older Vettes but they pretty much do everything.

I've used them and been very satisfied with results. In fact, my car is going in for an engine upgrade in a few weeks. Suggest you ask for James and make a visit for a tour of the facility.

Cat back no problem. Don't know what (or if) they have for alignment equipment. As above, call James and ask. There are at least three Jims there so ask for James, not Jim.

Comp Cam, lifters, new RR's, studs, springs, then a dyno tune at Pheonix.
Last time I tried to degree a cam with the engine in was a freaking goat rodeo , so I'm not even attempting it this time. Man's gotta know his limitations

I toured their facility (about 2-years ago) and was pretty impressed with the work that was being done by the shop! They also seem to have a pretty impressive track record when it comes to correctly restoring an older vette back to its original configuration!! (Lots of NCRS Top Flight awards to their credit).

I just got my C5 back from County Corvette yesterday and have to say I am very pleased with the work they did.

Highly recommended!

The work performed was good, but ask for a price quote prior to them starting work.
They did amps on my Z and if they forewarned me the total would be over a grand, I would not have invested the cash in them

Thanks Lou - It was a pleasure doing business with you. I have a feeling you are really going to enjoy driving that new ride around this summer! Please let me know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Sorry you were not pleased with the final price. You would have been more than welcome to get a price on the amps themselves as the total labor was only $437 and that included time for an oil change, checking for sounds in the dash, a rattle in the exhaust, checking a noise in the drivers side wheel and looking into your engine light - all on top of the removal and reinstallation of your speaker amps.

and 2 miles down the road, I still had all those noises.

Look, if everyone else is happy with you, then don't worry.
