is there a Las Vegas area corvette repair shop
I need the pass side headlight gear repair. My headlight just flops up and down... I want to have a bronze gear put in so I won't have to do this over again But I need a trustworthy Vegas area shop. Perhaps just a good body shop could do the job. I went to one "corvette" shop but the the place looks funky and dis-organized. Did not inspire confidence that's for sure and the guy said he would use another plastic gear.. I don't think so.

Sam@Sullivan GM Performance is your best bet. He's at the speedway(R104), stand up guy. Mines actually up there now getting a few headaches squared up.

Well the case of beer came and went and the Dickman Gear did not fix my passenger side headlight (needs a motor)..
Now my other lamp motor stuck shut solid and I broke the twist **** off trying to raise it up. I now need 2 motors which I will get.
Speedway Sam has not returned my call. I guess I'll keep trying.. the other Vette shop on Dean Martin just did not look like a quality operation. Too old run-down and funky looking, and the owner seemed apathetic at best.
Wish there was a better shop in Vegas to handle C5 headlight issues.
