Hi,
New member to the boards! Hello everybody! I didn't know you were here until someone told me on the national vette board. I need a shop for oil change, safety inspection and a body shop to look at a gouge from someone backing into my rear bumper with their dang tow hitch. I'm here a year from Philly transferred. It's a triple black vert, 02. Heck to keep clean when it rains dirt and blows dirt all the time. Black is not a color for around here. Too late, I didn't know that before I shipped it here for 1500 bucks.

Well I can't recommend a body shop. As for safety and emissions you need to find someone in the county you are in to do that.
As for any other mechanical work, the only one that a lot of us here would work on our cars is Vince Lung, he is down in Lehi. He goes by Highpockets here on the forums.
Welcome to the chaos and if you need anything just ask. There are alot of people here who are willing to jump in and help.

As stated contact Vince Lung on your Mechanical needs. Also give him a call to recommend a body shop, as he has a body guy that is great.
Vince runs Lung Automotive in Lehi Utah.

Vince is down south and may not be practical if your up in Ogden. He is the best vette person around for mechanical work.
JDP is also good for aftermarket parts. He has always beat any online price I can find.

They will butcher anything they touch, they will not warrantee their work, they will screw you

The extra drive south to get to Vince and know you are gonna get quality work is worth the extra time.

Thanks Guys and Ladies if any, Bountiful is reasonably close for the body. I live Downtown SLC and work across street from Old Mill Golf Club off Wasatch. I don't need mechanicals yet, but worried about the jacking from a shop with knowledge. I have the steel jack things from one of the vendors. Seems I should look for a shop with a lift with not deep saddles. Whew, had tires done shop using floor jack and the saddle was so deep, it swallowed the puck and only had an inch clearance or less to spare! How about that Goodyear on 200 West and 400 South for safety, Neil seemed careful. On the national site someone said Larry Miller Chevy and DK Watson Corvette were reputable?
