Who do y'all use for a mechanic?
Are there many corvette specialty shops around?

Tom Wong, Wong's Performance Engineering. He is located in Vancouver, WA. For major work, drop the car off and take Amtrac back. He is busy though, so get an appointment ahead of time.

mostly

wongs perf
corvettes of auburn
lee stanford in kirkland

I take mine to Brads custom in Seattle. Very thorough. Cost is nearly same as dealer, but work is 10x better and reliable. They dont sell you anything till they know whats wrong, unlike dealerships.
I'd be willing to try our lee stanford and auburn corvettes next time

Another vote for Brads Custom Auto. I've been taking my vette there for the past 4 years and they do a great job. All of the mechanics there race cars and they are very meticulous about their work.

They are not inexpensive but their work is top notch.
