Default C4 owner looking for Vern Carmack

Hello - I’m a 27 year owner of a 1990 C4 with 53000 miles. I live in the Tampa Bay Area, pinellas county, and I’m looking for a mechanic named Vern Carmack. Does anyone know where he’s doing business today? Thanks!

The last I heard was he was still at the Chevy Center in Seminole, FL. A suburb of St. Petersburg. I don't have a number, sorry!

Thanks for the reply.. The address at 9660 Seminole blvd lists Jim Hobson’s auto repair at this location. Vern Carmack is mentioned several times on this forum. It seems like he has vanished. Where is everyone going now for quality service that previously went to Vern Carmack?

Unfortunately Vern shut down his place and is no longer in business.
