I have tried a few different tranny shops. The best one for the money with years of experience is Joel @ Fast-O-Matic. Tell him Chevy gave you the number and maybe I'll get even better deals from them :D

BabyFace

Joel built us four trannies and one hasn't broke yet (knock on wood) and we abuse the shit out of our stuff!
