Default Corvette Shop Recommendations - SoCal

Hi All,

I have a '17 Grand Sport and got a nail in my rear passenger side tire. Luckily I have rim+tire insurance that will cover it but just need to find a performance shop to get the work done.

I'm looking for a trusted place to replace my tire (P335/25ZR20) and realign all 4 wheels. I live near Beverly Hills but don't mind going out of my way for a corvette specialist. My local dealership keeps returning my car with more damage each time they try to fix the previous damage that they did -- so I'm inclined to come to the recommended shop for other basic services as well.

Thanks for your help and hopefully I can find a trusted place that I can bring my vette to long term.

American Heritage Performance in Harbor city. I have been taking my vette there and I highly recommend them.

For a nail a good tire shop will do, no specialist needed.

I don't think they do alignment - do they?

Regardless, for future references at least, I'm with him on this. American Heritage does top of the line work and in a reasonable amount of time.

I recently needed some brake work and my car battery port was faulty and Hermosa Automotive II in Torrance. The owner has a corvette and is very knowledgeable and honest and does great work. My go to shop as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been to some of the shops named here and CANNOT say the same thing about them.

Given your location and the work you need done, I recommend Stokes Tire in Santa Monica. They do mounting/balancing, alignment, corner weighting, etc. I've been there a couple times. The owner (Stokes) used to race cars.
