He has done work for me on other cars in the past and has always done great. So basically I have that local connection at a trans shop that everyone wants, just not for the 'vette.
That is the type of guy you want. If he does his best, it will live. If he is willing to do it, I can help with a list of recommendations to assist. My parts recommendation and his attention to detail will be fine. If he is honest, waive the warrantee. He will know the difference between breaking it from abuse, or his workmanship failing. Anyone honest would fix it if it is their shortcoming.
I agree..... finding somebody you can trust and communicate with you is the first goal. I am being honest with everybody that I am having quote me, and not trying to hide the fact that it'll be raced hard. I want them to know....and I expect them to be honest with me.
