I think the only time I ever had an issue was when they didn't realize there were lug nut caps on my GTO wheels and messed a few up, they were super apologetic and ordered me a brand new set. I chose them originally because they were one of the larger vette shops in town, dunno if that's still the case. Good luck in your search, let us know where you land and how you feel the service compares.
Look - they try BUT it is clear that they do not maintain track cars. It is probably me and not them as I expect them to do as I ask and they never do. Example, I said, check torque on sway bars - they said, no need as all looks good. I then go to COTA and sway bar linkage comes loose. Not happy. I say, change the front brake pads because I have three days at COTA coming up and they are getting thin - won't last the weekend and not worth the risk to calipers. They say, we didn't do it because not at the wear indicator yet. I fight with them over the type of oil having to show them the HP supplement, etc. They just do not accept, that as to tracking cars, they need to do what I ask because maintaining track cars versus DDs is a very different animal. I am not mad, just want a dealer that has a mechanic in the back that really knows how to maintain a track car.
