Don't you have to spend a minimum of one night at a Holiday Inn?

Or must you buy one of the pewter mechanic with engine awards?

Ccmano has a great start on a list of Mechanics that can help keep the ZR-1 alive :handshak:

Re: New Owners/National list of Z Shops
 

Any more recommendations? I can’t believe that is it...?

Can we get this thread up as a sticky...? So we can continue working on it and make it more visible to newbies.

Thanks

Re: New Owners/National list of Z Shops
 

I think it's been over ten years ago or so, but I worked on a project that included preparing a list of "ZR-1 shops." My research was based pretty much solely on the inputs from members of this forum as well as those from Corvette Forum and possibly whatever else I was able to find on the web. There was no confirmation done on the validity of the recommendations and this is over ten years old so it's possible some of these shops no longer exist, but here is the list (take it for what it's worth -- this is not a personal recommendation from me as I have only personal experience with one shiop on this list -- ZR51/Bill Boudreau, who I would highly recommend):

Name, Location, Phone, Website

Brady's High Performance, Willow Street, PA 717-283-0056

Re: New Owners/National list of Z Shops
 

Thanks! Another great help for the quest to find competent shops. I’ll do some checking and comparison to the current list.

Also, We still need to get this list as a sticky...
