Default LOOKING FOR MECHANIC IN VA BEACH/HAMPTON ROADS AREA

Vetters, From the Hampton Roads, VA area. Anyone have a good vette mechanic contact? I have used TIDEWATER CORVETTES and have been pleased. Just looking for something closer to Virginia Beach.

Thanks
Randy

The name of the shop is Va Beach Corvettes. It is located on old Va Beach Blvd. Im from Norfolk originally and I visited that shop three years ago.
Tom does good work.

Thanks Tom, I have been to Stallions. Had him quote me a price to do rear wheel bearings, $1200 parts and labor. About $900 to much. Part price are about the same as Ecklers.

The only thing I can add is someone mentioned Tidewater Corvettes, and it's my understanding that they are no longer in business. Someone may correct me on that.
