Any Albany, NY area vette repair referrals?

[Rich C.]

Still getting to know my '96 C-4, (tackled everything on the '73!) I need to have the ZF's case extension swapped out, bubba cracked existing one. I now have all the parts, but need a TRUSTWORTHY shop. Knuckleheads at local Chevrolet dealer whined and moaned about "uh, geez, we'll have to pull exhaust, etc. blah, blah" Same guys swapped out VSS last fall (which I thought was the leak) broke it, had to order another. Smoking cigarettes while spraying de-greaser under my car!!! Anyway, I don't have the luxury to have a 'twin post lift' yet, couple years away. I'm sure it can be done with jack stands, but I'd rather farm this one out. I'm an hour north of Albany. Appreciate any leads. I've seen Prestige, in Clifton Park, but do not know of their service work.

Rich,

When I last lived in that area of NY (12 years ago), I took our car to Marcel's Corvette Shop in Mechanicville, 518-664-7344, for any work I couldn't do myself.

He'd been in business many years by then; don't know whether or not he's still open.

By the way, the Adirondack Chapter meets (or at least, used to) in the Cohoes area. You might check them out for any help. Contact info from the Driveline is John Dergostis. His phone # is on page 107 of the most recent issue.
