Any good shop for LTX base f-body near...

MODERATOR:Im posting this here because im searching for a good LT1/LT4 shop not a LS1 specialist that do LTX base car once every year But if you think its the wrong forum just move it.Thank you.

I need a good shop for my LT4 firebird near Champlain NY 12919 or Montreal(im at 30mins from Champlain).I need a serious shop that can do some troubleshooting for my problem, fix them and probably do some tuning.

I dont wanna shop that does ltx base f-car only once in a while because i dont wanna hear something like:"i think this is your problem but im not sure"

So what are my option.I spent more than 15k in that car in the last 2 years and it still doenst run good so its time to bring it to some pro

Thank you
