Well, I can tell you NOT to take it to The Wire Wheel. When I lived up in
Rochester, I had them do some work on my Spitfire. They seemed to know
british cars, but they were REALLY sloppy, and couldn't have cared less
about the car. They several times didn't do all the work I asked them to,
and they charged me for parts that they never put in the car. They also
would forget to bolt things down a lot (They replaced some ladies timing
chain on her Toyota, and forgot to replace a few bolts, then refused to give
her the money back when the car died later that day.) They also ripped the
center padding on a Jensen-Healey steering wheel and instead of replacing
it, said, "Well, these old cars are like that, you know..."
I also saw a few cars that they "restored", pretty poor jobs. Again,
mostly just sloppy.
Cartech, on West Henrietta road supposedly does a good job, though I
didn't have any direct experience with them. Although they're an Alfa
dealer now, they used to sell LBC's and still do work on them (last I
checked).
