NorCal shops.

Aside from Synergy and LGR in Livermore - who else runs a good shop up here?

I live in San Jose and for anything not warranty or regular service related, I make the trek to Livermore to LGR.

It is worth your time and efforts.

I found your website -- it doesn't say much. I just see a bunch of tail lights and stick-on stuff. What do you guys do?

I have been to Synergy, he tuned my 2015 ZL1. Not the best customer service but he does good work.

Does LGR have a lot of experience with Camaros, specifically LT4?

I'm only interested in a reputable shop with LT4 experience touching my ZL1. I don't want my car to be anyones guinea pig if I'm tearing up my warranty.

LGR does have a lot of Camaro experience. They are a race shop. Chris, who is the head mechanic is an ex crew chief of a NASA race team, who I believe the owner of LGR was the driver.

They have multiple race prepped cars there at any given time, they also had a 2015 Z/28 there that found a wall on its first track event that they were repairing when I was there getting my Corsa Exhaust installed.

They also did my ZL1 1LE Solid rear cradle bushing install.

I will only go there for anything other than warranty work for my car.

Yes we don't post much as we don't want CARB knocking on our door.However, we've updated our performance section to include track results and HP gains. WE are very familiar with the LT4 platform and the DI platform in general.

LGR for all my needs, they run a great shop. Also If you need track suppport Chris can help. I’ve had them do various jobs on my vehicles and very happy.

I’m going to have them for a 4 point in my 1le at some point.

Hi, I would like to have a Edelbrock 2650 installed on my ZL. Would have interest in installation and tuning.
