Dyno Don is an expert with ThirdGens, that's for sure. However, he's a very busy guy with a very full calendar, plus, he's a bit far away from those of us not living in his area. Other options need to be available...

I think "normal" mechanical work on ThirdGens don't require the exotic skill sets of experts such as Gene and DD. Some of the garages around town can do the typical Chevy and Pontiac "80's car" repairs just fine. Lam's garage in Long Beach is a place I've been to and I think his crew are fine. In fact, I believe his nephew has a Thirdgen ... he provided the lead.
