FLOATING IS A PRETTY GOOD DESCRIPTIVE.
MY TRUCK GUY WORKS AT A GMC DEALERSHIP. THEY DO WHATEVER COMES IN THE DOOR. HE'S HAD NO PROBLEMS WORKING ON MY '87 AND HAS DONE A GOOD JOB. IN FACT HE SEEMS TO LIKE WORKING ON IT. BEING A DEALERSHIP IT'S PRICEY BUT I'VE BOUGHT A COUPLE OF PICKUPS THERE AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE ME RIGHT. IF IT'S NOT SUPER-SPECIALIZED I'M SURE HE COULD DO IT; GETTING THE PARTS???
THERE IS ONE, MAYBE TWO PLACES IN TULSA THAT DO PRIMARILY CORVETTES. I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH THEM.
FORGOT TO SAY: TIRES ARE NEW.
Great, @ 66k, the bushings are probably OK. Unless the shocks look brand new, new ones will be a noticeable improvement (they always are).
OK, your guy sounds good but, yea dealerships are pricy.
On the Tulas shops, I'd do a quick Google on either "reviews on XXXX Corvettes" or complaints on XXX.
And you may want to compait their labor rates vs the dealershp.
