Default cartek experince

I drove 6.5 hrs to cartek on friday to get my car tuned. Let me tell everybody that dave , jullio and the guys that work there are AWESOME. I talked to dave over the phone a bunch of times and he always had time for my questions. I did not spend alot of money through out the winter but they treated me like I was there biggest customer. Juillo Is A WIZARD. He should be working for microsoft!!! The only bad thing is that their bathroom is small LOL Thanks CARTEK my c5 is kicking ***

Right On!!! Glad to hear of a satisfied customer. Sounds like a positive atmosphere. And good things only happen in a postive atmosphere.

Never had the car on the dyno when it was stock. Juillo made a dyno pass before he tuned it and then after and picked up little over 40 hp.Seems that the cats are a little pluged from the NOS I ran for 2 years . it was down about 15-20 hp from the other cars that are about the same. And I allready took care of thoes cats. And they were alittle melted.

I was at Cartek recently too. Met Julio, Dave, and crew. Great bunch of guys. Got the tour, looked at some fo their pending work , and chatted for awhile.

They treated my car like "GOLD" which is something most Vette owners worry about. I had a great experience...
