Best GM performance shops in SF Bay Area

R3ctivision · 08-09-2018, 12:46 PM

Hi all, I know of good BMW and Porsche shops in the Bay Area, but I'm looking for a good shop (preferably west or south bay) to maintain my 1LE. So far I've had a subpar experience at the Chevy dealers in the area (no surprise). When I used to live in the east bay and owned a BMW, I used to go to Edge Motorworks in Dublin, which kicks ass. But they are too far from me now that I moved to Redwood City. I've tried Edge Motorworks in Mountain View (they split the business), but it feels like they are just doing me a favor since I track the car (they specialize in track and race cars, specifically BMW, not GM).

Anyone have experience bringing their 1LE to a good GM shop around, perhaps one that specializes in Vettes?

I asked the same question recently and from what I have found, Life's Good Racing in Livermore seems to be the best I have found so far. They will be doing my BMR rear suspension work. They seem knowledgeable over the phone.

I used Alexshop in Fremont for my M3 work, and he is great, but doesn't really do GM stuff.
