Corvette Shops You Can Trust, Sixth Edition

As in past years, we again present you with our annual list of top Corvette shops you can trust. Year after year, this list continues to be one of the most requested (and used) components of Corvette Fever. This really isn't our list-it's yours. We have continued to compile your recommendations over the last year into a directory we hope you'll refer to again and again. This newly updated directory will also be posted soon on our Web site, www.corvettefever.com. Since we published our original list of your favorite Corvette shops six years ago, your recommendations have continued to come in. These Corvette businesses range from full-blown restoration shops to places you can go to for routine maintenance. As in years past, some new shops have been added, along with the sender's comments.

This directory will continue to be a work in progress. Please send your shop suggestions (or unresolved issues) to corvettefever.firstturn@sourceinterlink.com. Please include your name and location, as well as the name, address, phone number, and owner's name of the shop you recommend. Tell us why the shop deserves to be on the list for next year or any problems you have encountered. You can also nominate more than one shop if you've received exceptional service at several places.

Please note: All shops listed here have been recommended by fellow Corvette enthusiasts. Based on their experiences, these businesses should be trustworthy, but Corvette Fever accepts no responsibility or liability for any work they do. We will, however, continue to accept all information about unresolved problems our readers have and reserve the right to remove repeat offenders from the list.

"I am on my second vette, and this shop is the only place i will let touch my car. They lowered my c6, installed a corsa exhaust, and do all my maintenance work. All work is priced well, guaranteed, and, most important, you can trust this shop." -Chris Novinger
