I bought my very first vette from Dave. He is a nice enough guy, but I found him to be a bit pricey. Haven't had service from him in about ten or eleven years. Check out the shop and see if you are comfortable with it.

Great service here he had the car done when promised he didnt try to shoe me away when i went in the garage to check things out and came into the waiting room to get me for the test drive. He charged me 130.00 I realize a DIY would have been cheaper but I have zero tools zero knowledge of how to do it and I know zero people. Plus I am taking the car on a trip to grand canyon tommorrow and wanted to just get it done. I would recomend this shop he had a lot of c3 and c4 cars there also.

I used to go to Dave when he was a small shop on La Mesa Blvd. (Late 1970's)
I don't know what his business practices are now, but back then he was very honest and reputable. He does know Corvette's! Especially the C3's & C2's.

Hey guys, I am in Carlsbad. Any shops other than down in El Cajon?
I have a headlight about to go, it likes to run after I open and close.
I like to tinker a bit, I have heard the headlight is simple? Actually bought the three little spacers to replace. Just haven had the ***** to take it apart!
