Default Need good local Corvette Specialist

Hey Gang!
I've got a problem with my 02 Z06 Vette and looking for a recommendation on a shop that does great honest work with Corvettes. If anyone knows of a shop and can provide me with a name or number, I would greatly appriciate it! If you've had some experience in using your recommended shop, please let me know how your experience was.

Thanks for all your help, I need to get my baby back on the streets!!!!!

well, what is the problem

i know of a ton of competent shops around here that do many different cars, but mostly mustangs. but im sure they can handle anything

i would personally recommend Race Related down by Sunshine Speedway. they like mustangs, but will work on anything for the most part


is your car yellow by any chance?

Thanks for the response. Right now I have the vette dropped off at dealer I buy alot of commercial vehicles from. Waiting to see what the diagnosis and cost of repair will be. I believe the clutch is gone but hoping for the best! LOL!
Also, my baby is black on black.

Once again thanks for the reponse!

A GM meet sounds cool to me if we can put it all together. Of course for me it will have to be after my ride is fixed. by the way, it was the clutch that was causing my problem and although I told them to take thier time and do things right. They did say they could have the my girl back to me by thursday, but we will see! Maybe we should have a meet for the Pepsi 400 this weekend somewhere. Just a thought!

Keep me informed!

Hey brother,
Got my baby back on tuesday night. Wow, what a difference a new clutch makes! LOL! Set me back a little on the cash (why did I have to love corvettes!) but so far no problems. Gonna driver her smooth for awhile to break things in and make sure everything works.

Palm Harbor Winghouse would be a great place for a meet! Do you think anyone else is interested?

Take it to Rev Xtreme. Ive personally seen them do a few TT Vettes and Kyle and Dino are more thaa capable. They are just off of highway 60.

That's the last place I'd take it to. It took them 3 times to try and replace the clutch on my 02 Z06 and they still couldn't get it right and then they wanted to charge me extra labor for having to redo the clutch that they couldn't get right. I wouldn't recommend them at all. I took it to antivenom in seffner and had no problem at all.
