Here's the shops I have had good personal experience with, for different reasons:
Mike at Icon - bona fide LS expert, does great work for very reasonable money. All around good guy and would go to him exclusively if he weren't in Stafford.
Frede Chevrolet (Clear Lake) - they only have a few good techs left. When I lived down there I used them for maintenance and also repairs with lifetime warranties (AC compressor, fuel pump, alternator, water pump, etc.) that were PAINS to do. I can tell you who to ask for. The GM lifetime warranty on these is parts and labor so I was willing to pay for peace of mind.
Champion Chevy at I-45 and BW8 - I know the service manager there and he has a C5 Z06, his 3rd LS car. You'll get good work at the going rate here, but no price deals if that's what you're looking for.
I'm still looking for someplace in Katy, where I live now, to do stuff beyond regular maintenance. I usually end up walking in knowing what's wrong (at least roughly) and directing the work done.
What part of town are you in?

So don't believe EVERYTHING you read on the internet!!!

He's just cocky A good tech though!
