New Owners/National list of Z Shops - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Ccmano · 12-31-2017

Has anyone else noticed that there has been a recent surge in new Z owners and want to be Owners popping up on this site and over on CF. In my opinion it portends well for the future of our favorite marque. Hopefully it will also be the beginning of at least a stabilization of prices.

One of the questions always asked is where can I find a shop that can work on my Z. Of the many resources we have here a National list of Z (LT5 specifically) competent shops is not one of them. I'm not sure the list over at ZR1.net is up to date or complete. I would like to use this thread to assemble such a list.

I am only aware of few.

Not heard of this one. Would you say they're "LT5" savvy(?); not just C4s generally?

Ccmano · 12-31-2017

Does Lingenfelter and Doug Rippie still work on our cars?

Any new info on Vette Doctors in NY or Tony’s Corvettes on MD?

Not sure I would include Corvette Mike in Anaheim, CA. although in a pinch they would do, unless someone has better info.

This should be a list of people who really know what they are doing....

I know the owner, Robbie Hooper, quite well. He serviced my Z starting around 1992 until I left Florida in 2001. I don't know how extensive work Robbie has done on LT5s but knowing his tremendous knowledge in all automotive stuff, I am sure he can tackle any work even for LT5s.

Even nowadays, I call Robbie at times to ask for his opinion on diagnosing.

One more member recommendation for this shop and I will add then to the list.

Robbie’s Corvette Masters is located next to Rogers Corvettes. Rogers is a Chevrolet dealer that only sells low mileage and excellent condition Vettes of almost any year. He has sold to me and many other ZR-1 owners. He recommended Robbie for mechanical work.

That would be DMS Corvette Shop in Garland (suburb of Dallas). I sent them an email to see if they are familiar with ZR-1s, if they are, I'll check them out.
