Good shops... yes... that work on LT1's... no. Like Joe said there are a few of us that do side work and then there is Top Gear as far as east valley goes. Many shops will laugh at the idea of working on an LT1.

Az Automasters is also good and has a lot of experience with LT1s. Gearhead Garage... may not even exist anymore. Reason so many would suggest Top Gear is that he has very little to no negative feedback from customers.
