List of C4 ZR-1/LT5 Repair, Maintenance, and Performance Shops - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I second the opinion that Aaron Scott is a first class Corvette (LT5) mechanic.
And a good guy too. I was on my way to BG for the "Gathering", one time way back in the last century. I had a failure in the ZF6, (long story), and limped in to Aaron's shop. Within a couple of hours he popped in a spare ZF6 that he had in the shop, and shipped my trans out for a rebuild. I got to Bowling Green on time, and then home with no problem. He let me use the trans until mine came back. Great guy.
A word of warning for any shop listed here though. Many of these places have had "up and down" reputations over the years. Because of staff changes, and because of the fact that the LT5 is, in many ways an "orphan engine", not the "latest and greatest" anymore, But mainly because their reputation depends on the personal integrity of one individual, and that can vary over the years for multiple reasons. One of the shops listed, rated at the very highest level by many , gave me the most horrendous service ever. But they have obviously cleaned up their act since, and I don't think it's fair to criticize after a long time period. When in doubt, ask for current opinion from the guys on this list.

BTW, one more shop to mention, in Florida, "Eismann's Corvette Center" here in Jupiter. They've been building, restoring, and servicing Corvettes for more than forty years. I don't go there regularly any more because of high labor costs, but they do know their Corvettes, and LT5's, since day one.
