San Diego C3 service shop recommendations
I am looking for a shop in the San Diego area to do some general work to my C3 from time to time. I took it to a Corvette Specialty shop over by Miramar and I wont go back. The quality of the work performed was just sub-par and the communication from the shop was non-existant. Any recommendations on a good shop preferably in the East County area of San Diego?

I recommend JBA Speed Shop off Kearny Villa Road in San Diego.

I had the same experience as you with several of the "Corvette" shops in town. I know the one you are referring to, and I see nothing has changed in 10 years!
On my C1, I do most things myself, but I've found a local, honest general repair shop that has done a few projects for me (Clutch, steering box).
I think the C3 would be the same.. Nothing rocket science there.. Just old-school automotive know-how needed.

Yeah, I found a local guy who is willing to work on the car but he has a few lined up prior to mine, not that I need anything done right now but if I do in the future I just need to get in line.

Same here for the last 10 years The Corvette shop owner Larry Hoffer has handled all the work on both my Vettes.

I am picking up a Corvette this Saturday from Menefee but I live in San Diego, it's a C6 Grand Sport, good to know about Corvette Shop in Kearny Mesa.
Do you guys know someone north? near Menefee, Hemet or Murrietta?
