Classic Car service and repair
 
I have a 1961 Corvette in need of service, minor mechanical repair and maintenance.

I did not find much in the TOTV search function.

I am willing to consider known entities outside/away from TV.

How about asking someone from the Corvette club?

I have already done so. And expect to hear from the one guy who has a similar vintage Vette.

Nahas Chevrolet was useless for my wife's '86 vette so I guess they probably have no idea what a '61 vette is. There is one outfit in either ocala or Leesburg, but I cannot remember the details.

I did check with Nahas and they do not service that vintage.
On our newer Vette I will not take it to a dealer that does not have a Corvette certified mechanic.

One of the places on my list is Johnny's Hot Rods & Classics, in Ocala.

Sumter tire in Wildwood, see Tanner. He is very knowledge. Generally only takes one classic at a time. He did my power steering up grade on my 65 Chevelle works great

Seems we were posting at the same time.

Stopped by Burnyzz yesterday. There's a 66 in a bay for prep. Expect to see it listed soon. Corvettes in the showroom are a lot newer. They probably know what they're doing. You might inquire.

I talked with Rob at Burnyzz yesterday.
I was impressed with his responses to my questions. He represented what their capabilities are and how they work.
I told him my 61 is a trailer queen and has never been wet since 1989 body off restoration. He said not to worry about the elements....there is a spot in the show room for it.

I have an appointment to take the car in 1/22.

I drove up today to look at the facility. Very impressive. Clean as can be. Very nice facility. Impressive inventory on the show room floor.

Thank you all for offering the suggestion for Burnyzz.

I will update after the work is done.

Let us know how it goes. I may need them one day for my 67 Chevelle SS396.
