Default Looking for Corvette Repair Place in Southwest Florida Area

Hi guys,
I am looking for a Corvette shop or individual around the Southwest Florida area to install some future mods for me ( headers, differential and a Callaway Honker).
If anyone can help me out, I would appreciate it very much.
Mike

I can highly recommend two places, Rick Hendrick Chevrolet in Naples. See Craig he is their Corvette mechanic.

Gulf coast motor works in Bonita Springs. They specialize in modding of all types of Vettes and exotics.

Thanks John for your input on those two places.
Are there any others from Ft Myers to Sarasota/Bradenton?

I'm sure there is but I don't know who or where they are nor would I trust anybody else with my ride.

Thanks again, I'm on the fence regarding buying some bolt ons ( headers, ls6 intake, Callaway Honker and 3.42 gears) or just spending the extra $$$$ and getting a SC.
My car is completely stock with 67k on the clock and purchased it when I retired recently. I only drive it 2/3 times a week for fun.

Also check out Fasterproms for mods. I have only heard good things from their customers. There up in the tampa area. I would only go for maintenance items in sw fl, the mod specialists for vettes are up by tampa or across the state

Have you heard of Barr's performance in Naples? Are they reliable? Are dealers always more pricey than other shops for vettes?

I have not heard of Barr's performance. Since my Z is exclusively a show car and has the best (IMO) quality mods available I may be the wrong person to ask. Honestly I really don't care what things cost as long as I get exactly what I want.

I have an exceptional relationship with Hendrick Chev in Naples, and if I need any type of service they know to let ME drive my Z around to the service bay and pull it in to the bay. I made them a set of ramps for me to drive up on since their lift won't go low enough to contact the pucks.

Default Corvette specialists in Naples Florida

I recommend Barr's Performance and Restoration in Naples FL. They are off Airport Pulling (41) near the airport.

http://barrsrestorations.com/

Owner, Jeff Barr, is a great guy and his people do quality work. They do everything for muscle cars from routine stuff to frame up restoration.

Barr's is also great find for old guys with old Corvettes (like me).
