Hello,
Not sure if this is the right section of the forum but I'll give it a shot. Last weekend I purchased a '96 Camaro Z28 convertible for my wife and I to enjoy during the summer months. We're younger and we want to have a little fun before we settle down and have kids. The previous owner(s) have kept no maintenance records so I pretty much want to do everything maintenance wise, as well as replace some gaskets that are leaking (intake, valve cover, oil pan (?), trans pan) since the car has been sitting awhile. I do have some car knowledge, have no problem changing my own oil and such, just a little timid/hesitant around new cars to me and this is my first GM.
What I'm looking for is someone, in West Michigan area (I'm in Jenison), who is very comfortable/knowledgeable with LT1's that is willing to tackle some of these projects that I don't think I can do. I will gladly pay whoever wants to help me out and I would prefer to watch/learn, even assist, while the work is being done. I'm looking for someone who will treat our car as they do their own, as we've worked long and hard to be able to afford this car. Our previous "fun" car was a Contour SVT and I had an unemployed person, that was very knowledgeable about those cars, do the things that I couldn't and it just worked out so well.
Although I'd prefer to work with an individual, if anyone has any recommendations for good shops near the Grand Rapids, Michigan area, please let me know. I have no problem traveling a half hour-45 minutes for a reputable LT1 shop.
Thanks and I look forward to enjoying and learning more about these cars.
