Default Good corvette mechanics in LA?

New to LA, and just bought a c5z this month. Are there some common trusted corvette mechanics in LA?

I havent had any issues with the vette but just doing my homework before a problem actually happens that I cant handle.

American Heritage performance
Kohle
310-326-2399
All they do is GM LS engines. When I was there, all they had was corvettes(about 5~6 vehicles) and 1 LS1 Fbody camaro.
located in Long Beach/Palos Verdes 110FWY and PCH

I saw couple good reviews here and you can check more reviews on Yelp if that helps.

I'm getting my c5z engine rebuild with port/polish heads, new block, cam/ other goodies/ clutch as I write this.

Should be getting it back by next monday.

There are few more shops like CMS and RPM, but this was the closest to me and that was convinient.

Give Kohle a call, he can help you.

PM me if you want the contact information for Edwin who worked for RPM for several years. He installed an ATI balancer and pinned my crank for me. I would recommend him for any maintenance or repairs you can't do yourself. He is located in Anaheim.

Thank you everyone, and thank you for the PM's too. I have lots of options if something breaks on my z28 or z06 that I cant handle. I will probably go with american heritage because they are the closest to where I live. Hopefully nothing breaks for a while

Kohle also knows his way around the C4s. He got my 96 running great.
But one of the best features with American Heritage is the great customer service. Kohle takes pride in his work and would go the extra step to get your vette right.

And your 96 is one of the nicest I have seen.
