Default New to Houston Area (From NY), shop question

I just moved down to Houston from upstate NY and am loving the area so far. I would like to hear of any trusted shops down here that if I need to I can bring my '91 in? (I'm at 40K on it now and thinking that a clutch may be in my future, tires as well). Any input would be great.
Thanks!
Scott

closest one would be corry henderson in new braunfuls...yeah I don't know how to spell that...I know it's a haul but corry's one of the best. Why do you think you need a clutch at 40,000 miles?

Thank you guys! I don't need the clutch yet but it's one of the things that I'd rather have a shop I trust do when the time comes. I had a great shop up in Syracuse NY (Corvette Barn), and I am looking forward to making the drive out to Henderson.

I bought my 1990 ZR-1 from Franks Vettes in Spring- Frank is a really good guy. His shop did all the work on my ZR-1, for the previous owner.He told me he does work on the LT5- So far I haven't had any problems with my ZR-1 that I have had to get him to work on it. The number to the shop is 281-350-vettes- He also has a web site.In my folder of receipts from previous owner Franks replaced injectors,a/c work,oil changes and did other work on the car.Have had car almost 2 years and haven't had any serious problems with it. His shop is very clean-and he is a friendly person.I will take my car back to him if I have any problems I can not handle. Hope you find this helpful-You might mention that Paul -that bought the 1990 black/black #849 ZR-1 mentioned his shop.

Corey, unless you want to do it yourself. Rhipsher has done his clutch a few times and could offer some pointers etc.

Sounds great to me, although I need to give mine a good cleaning from being inside the car transporter. I'll keep my eye out for any drives coming up.
