Default Need Help Finding a Shop

I put this post in the New Member section but was told this is where it belongs.
So here is the C/P

I bought my wife a '91 ZR1 back in '15, took possession of it one day before my wife went into the hospital(UCSF) for her clinical trial cancer treatment. We drove it all of 50 miles before we put it in storage(great car). Fast forward to today, my wife is getting stronger and see wants to drive her ZR1.

We still need to register it(Calif.) and it needs some work, last time I started it(late '16) I saw water comming down from somewhere on the engine. So if anyone on here can point me to a shop with a reputable reputation with the LT5 engine it would be greatly appreciative.
We live in Sacramento,CA but I will put her ZR1 on a rollback to get it to a good shop.

Thank's
Rod
p.s. when we get it registered we will get pictures on here with a my wife and her great big smile.

Pat Hendricks owns
PRECISION MOTIVE in Hayward and he's worked on ZR-1s in the past. I think he put the auto trans in the Steel Blue 91 with the Shinoda bodykit and the crazy nitrous setup.

That's great news about your wife.

Get that ZR-1 ready and get out on the road
