Corvette Shops You Can Trust 2005

This month, we present you with the third edition of our list ofCorvette shops you can trust. But it isn't really our list--it's yours.We compiled your recommendations into a directory we hope you'll referto again and again.

Since we posted our first list of your favorite Corvette shops, morerecommendations have come in. These businesses range from full-blownrestoration shops to places you can go for routine maintenance.Unfortunately, some shops have gone out of business or we can't locatethem, so the list has changed some since last year.

As in the past, this directory will be a work in progress. Send yoursuggestions anytime to corvette.fever@sourceinterlink.com. Include your nameand location, as well as the name, address, phone number, and owner'sname of the shop you recommend. You can also nominate more than one shopif you've received exceptional service at several places.

A caveat: All shops have been recommended by fellow enthusiasts. Basedon their experiences, these businesses are trustworthy, but CorvetteFever accepts no responsibility or liability for any work they do. Wewill, however, accept information about unresolved problems our readershave, and reserve the right to remove repeat offenders from the list. Wehave received very few complaints and hope that trend continues.
