Default Augusta, GA area shops?

Has anyone had experience with the "Corvette and Camaro Craftsman" in Martinez? They don't seem to advertise. Or could you recommend other shops in the CSRA that understand the beasts the fever? Someone that can be trusted? Engine building and tuning, transmission, exhaust, and suspension would be the kinds of shops I need. Yeah I know it's a long shot and a constant quest, but I had to ask.

There used to be a shop off of Washington Road. Kinda behind K-Mart in Martinez. If you take the road near Ryans and Super BabyMart(storename???) it winds around and the Corvette place is in a small row of garages. I heard they do good work. I didn't have a Vette when I lived in GA but have heard good things since throught the grapevine from friends. Good luck in your search!

Yeah that's the Corvette and Camaro Craftsman. I know which row of garages you're talking about, on Oak drive behind the K-mart center... I've driven by there and tried to find the place, to get an idea of what the shop looks like, what they are working on, etc., and I haven't been able to find it. They must be good, if they don't advertise even in the yellow pages, don't have an internet presence, and they don't even need a sign on the shop. I'll try to look into them some more, thanks!

Great, thanks!

Oh man, I couldn't get out to work on the first night of the snow. There's no way I would take the vette out in that mess, and the Impala is like a two-ton sled in snow. Guess I'm going to have to move farther south!
