Re: New Owners/National list of Z Shops
 

Picked up the car yesterday from South Georgia Corvette, Aaron Scott replaced the injectors and changed all fluids. Burned a new chip. Took the car on an extensive test drive. Car was spotless cleaner than when I dropped it off. Just got done driving it this afternoon 94 degrees here today got to 7000 rpm immediately. Ran it hard for 45 minutes never over 5/8 on the heat gauge. Car was done on time as promised. His shop is neat and beautiful. Shared the pictures with me on the record setting run of 24 hours with Tommy Morrison. He will be doing some complete builds for me very soon. Knows everying there is to know about the ZR1 as he was there at the start. If your with in a days travel bring your car to him if you want it done right. By the way the charges for all he did was very reasonable a bit less than I expected which is always a nice surprise.

Do we know if any in the Raleigh, NC area who is a respectful LT5 ZR1 mechanic if I should need one. I have a C4 1990 ZR1 DRM 500 Vette

Re: New Owners/National list of Z Shops
 

I have always resorted to Hendrick Chevrolet in Cary. They have a few older mechanics that are good. I usually, let them diagnose the problem (if it isn’t obvious to me) and then hunt down the part on the Internet. They’ve installed my water pump and alternator I bought.

If it is running OK, bring it to Aaron Scott at South Georgia Corvettes. About 5 hours from here. Stay in the left lanes in SC, because 95 is terrible in that State!

Any thoughts on Austin Corvette? I took my C6 there when I had it and had a good experience. They seem to work on a lot of C4s but not sure about ZR-1s.

Henderson is right down the road in New Braunfels but if I had a shop an Uber ride away from me it would help me feel more confident in my decision to buy a Z :)

Re: New Owners/National list of Z Shops
 

Crossed Flags in Magnolia comes highly recommended but probably not a Uber ride away for you.

Having Corey in New Braunfels and Steve (Crossed Flags) in Magnolia is about as good as it gets. Steve has an enclosed trailer and can do pickup/delivery (for a charge of course), but is well worth it to not have to deal with it. C4 ZR-1s are fairly reliable once they are in a good state and as long as you exercise them regularly. I can definitely attest that Steve @ Crossed Flags does great, thorough work and would take care of you.

IMHO
Graham Behan should have his own special status above all the rest. His depth of knowledge with the LT5 is far beyond anyone else. From being involved with design to modification I can not think of anyone who comes near his depth of understanding and attention to detail. I am sure many shops here have called him for information.
That is where my car is and I know I have nothing to worry about. He even Repaired pieces from another shops work. Found all the missing parts I did not get.fixed damaged electrical fx3 and the like.
He is the guy. He is worth the drive.
