Default Good shop to replace c5 z06 valve springs around Marin county?

I suspect that my valve springs on my 03 z06 are stock (silver in color) so I was planning on bringing the car to a good shop to have them replaced. Any suggestions?
I would try to do it myself but I have no place to work on the car, so a shop will have to do. Any idea on the labor cost? I am guessing around $300?

Thanks.

Got mine done with abel, they'll let you bring your own parts and you won't beat their prices. They're also awesome to deal with.

I hate to say it but your not gonna find anyone in Marin area
I live in the area and in 10 years haven't heard of anyone in that area.

I'm in Sonoma and my cars go to Abel. It's worth the drive.
If you have aaa/trailer just have the car taken there.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I heard of Abel but didn't want to bother going all the way down there.
Also I am still not sure if the valve springs I have are stock or not and if I should bother replacing them. Any idea of labor cost?

Call Abel and talk to them they will give you exact costs. Lolol. They have the best service rate around. And your getting certified GM corvette techs.
Really all the guys at Abel are car guys they understat our cars and how us corvette owners can be about their cars.

Call and talk to Richie if he's available.

I also agree let Abel do it.
I think there labor rate is under $100 an hour...some one else will know for sure.

Marin $300? I like that estimate.

I will be taking my C5 ZO6 to Abel in the near future for my valve springs. I just need to make the time and do it.
