Has anyone else noticed that there has been a recent surge in new Z owners and want to be Owners popping up on this site and over on CF. In my opinion it portends well for the future of our favorite marque. Hopefully it will also be the beginning of at least a stabilization of prices.
One of the questions always asked is where can I find a shop that can work on my Z. Of the many resources we have here a National list of Z (LT5 specifically) competent shops is not one of them. I'm not sure the list over at ZR1.net is up to date or complete. I would like to use this thread to assemble such a list.
I am only aware of few.

Feel free to provide updates, good and bad, we really need to vett these shops!
This should be a list of people who know what they're doing, particularly on an LT5 engine.
