Hate to spoil your dreams, Mark, but even out here on the west coast, I have
yet to find what I would consider a reputable Chev dealership shop.  I recently
took my pride and joy ('79 Z28) in because the tranny was dripping dextron.
After tearing it down, they concluded that it needed to be rebuilt.  I went
back the next day, looked at the clutch steels, and agreed.  Well, from that
point, it took them nearly two weeks to finish it up. When I got it back,
the tranny was rebuilt, but *still* leaking, and they'd messed up my exhaust
system.  Needless to say, I drove it back, and chewed on the manager for about
fifteen minutes.  The whole experience left me without a car for two and a half
weeks, and over $1100 poorer.

Okay kids, let's recite the Ralph Nader litany:

"NEVER, NEVER take your car to a dealership for repairs."

Not even if you have the money, and "want the job done right".
