It's a "C7 Owner Map" but you may get an idea of who's in the area.

Hello neighbors. I live in St Cloud. Was a quiet little town but currently is getting quite populated. Despite having so many mechanics and repair shops, there are no real corvette specialists in the area. I certainly don’t want to use Starling Chevrolet unless I absolutely have to. I am a first time owner with a 2003 coupe and I know just enough about these cars to get myself in real trouble.
Clermont is a little far for me to go Victor, but Ron do you know of anyone in your area of S Orlando?

Thanks
Jack

Try Griffis Automotive in Orlando. David is the owner and has tremendous customer service. I take all my vehicles to his south Lake center. He mentioned that he does a lot of corvette repairs at the South Orlando shop.

This guy and his staff are top notch. I would trust him with anything and have.

If you speak with David, Tell him Tony sent you over there. I know you will like him.

I googled Griffis Automotive and it shows location of Bumby Ave which is just south of downtown, but not south Orlando. Is that the location you are referring to?
Thanks

Quick story about Dave, he was head mechanic for a Ford dealership. He saw something unethical going on. Quit the dealership, took his lifts and tools along with top techs and opened his own shops and never looked back.
i was stuck on a restoration. He picked up my car and completed some of the hardest things. Got me reinvigorated on the project and I was able to complete the car.
He commented that his shop has performed torque tube repairs and other items on vettes at that location.
