Default Speedworks Rocks

Had my car in today getting it tuned up. Put new plugs in it, oil and thermostat. Anyway come to find out I had three fouled plugs and one burnt spark plug wire. They also adjusted my parking brake, adjusted my exhaust and readjusted LS1 Edit so that my car would idle better and the fans would come on sooner because of the new thermostat. The adjustments were done without me even asking except for the fans for the thermostat. Dan, James and Sean are awesome and they do great work. If anyone is looking for a shop in Dallas then I would highly recommend them. Thanks guys :hurray: :thumbs:

Speedworks is a great place. They do great work, and take care of their folks. They had all of my business when I had my Vette. :party:

I have also experienced the excellence of their work on my cars and great customer service. Infact, I will not let anyone else work on my cars. :hurray:

SpeedWorks has always been very fair me...lots of good advice from Dan before I had any work done, and James knows LS1-edit.
