Default Best Corvette shop in Richmond, VA?

Which shop is the best Corvette shop in Richmond, VA? I need someone to install K&W Variant 3 coilovers on my C5. I have the coilovers.

Thanks

Try Coopers Corvette in Quantico, VA. It's about an hours drive north on I95. What about Zip Corvette Parts? They have a nice shop that does installation work. They are located in Mechanicsville, VA just about 5 miles outside of Richmond on I95. They installed an exhaust system for me.

Default Zip Corvette

We would be happy to discuss this install.
While we have not installed this particular set of coilovers, we do not think it would be too big a deal.
Feel free to give me a call at 1-800-962-9632 ext 240.

Zip Corvette is good. If you ever need any tuning then Steve Williams at performance autosport is your guy.

We would be happy to help you as Tom said, however Scott Weis is also excellent and he is a great customer of ours so either way you would be in great hands.

I was going to create a thread when I had problems with them 3 years ago but my business was crazy busy, had the car for only a few months and I'm not a big complainer. Time is money and I simply let it go.

Spoke to some people at an Xcross event in Norfolk/VA and also got bad referrals about them.
