Quality dealership/performance shops in East Tennessee?
Hey everyone, we are finally moving to TN next week (yay, but I promised myself not to get political in this thread ). However, this sadly also means I am leaving one of the best dealerships and performance shops one can wish for behind.
Can anyone recommend a Chevy dealership with a quality, mod friendly service department (their sales team I don't care much for), any performance shop that won't balk at continuing work by another shop, and a respectable detailer? Thanks in advance

Knoxville.
I'm quite happy to drive a couple miles for quality work and building relationships, though. Heck, one day I may hit up the goonzquad guys, too, although that will be very loosely related to quality work

He tuned my C6 Corvette Grand Sport that had heads, BTR Stage 3 cam and all other FBO. Made great power and drove great. Side note I drive 2 to 2.5 hours to get to them and there are so other good shops within that same time window but I choose them. I'm in Chattanooga. |

Re the drive, I totally understand, Jannetty's shop is 120 miles from our old home in NJ, similarly 2-2.5 hours. I never worried about the "pilgrimage", though, I'm a "quality first, relationship second, price third, time fourth" kind of guy. The only snag was I had to go very early in the morning, or I risked getting stuck in the NY freeway "snail trail". Also feel free to PM me when you're in the area and want to meet up.

Just made my first trip to Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area 2 weeks ago for first time. Great drives, also a couple tunnels outside gatlinburg to hear that exhaust note!

Mine is an absolute animal now with the Kooks headers and the cam
I've just discovered that Route 321 has been repaved almost all the way from Eaton to the Oak Ridge Turnpike, and it's an absolute beauty to drive and hone corner carving skills on, with very little traffic or risk to anyone else's safety. Sadly, said skills are almost non-existent in my case, I'm pretty much a chicken, so I'll have to keep practicing. On a tangentially related note, several people from different townships told me TN state and even county police use laser, is this true? My detector, although it does fire on Ka occasionally, is much quieter than it used to be in NJ.
