Default Looking for performance shop

Hey all. I am looking to get a full exhaust and a tune done on a 14’ Z51. I spoke with a guy down in Vancouver a couple of times but after the initial contact he never got back to me. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations, thanks!

Helps to let us know where you are located! Corvettes of Auburn is a very good shop and many of the PNW members her have used them for all sorts of Corvette work.

"Down in Vancouver" was probably Tom Wong, owner of Wong's Performance Engineering. Tom's shop is also an excellent place to get work done, but he is usually very busy and it can take weeks, if not months, for projects to be completed.

There are generally 3 corvette specialty shops in the greater Seattle area that many of us can recommend. There are others as well.

South of Seattle :Wongs Performance Engineering.

Close to Seattle: Corvettes of Auburn.

North of Seattle: Brads Custom Auto.

All 3 of these shops are top notch (there are others as well) but one thing to remember is that shops that have well known, good reputations, are generally very busy

I decided to be vague with my locale since I am willing to travel a bit. I appreciate the replies. I figured the busy nature of a well recommended shop existed. Thanks again!
