My Experience at RKT Performance
I just wanted to take some time and write about my experience at RKT Performance and dealing with Rick Kim. All I have to say is wow, Rick is a stand up guy and did excellent work on my T56 rebuild. He took me through everything that needed repaired, provided photos, and really put my mind at ease during the process. Transmission now shifts so smoothly and is so tight compared to what it was. I would highly recommend Rick Kim for anybody looking to have some work done I can't say enough positive things.

Rick is a top notch mechanic. I won't let anyone else work on my car. The work is going to be done correctly at a fair price. He can do it all from simple procedure to very complex engine work. He worked on my car last summer. Mostly upkeep procedures and installation of Bi Xenon headlights.
