Default Speed inc , rear main

Just thought I would throw out some accolades to Tom, Dan, Butch, and the rest of the guys at Speed Inc. A couple of weeks ago the rear main started leaking on my C5R 427, I thought about doing the job myself, however after talking to Tom, I decided to take the car to them. It was a great decision, the car went on the hoist at 9:00 am and at 1:00 pm I was out the door. The price was very reasonable and Tom actually threw in new plugs and they replaced the couplers in the tq. tube that I brought along. I had speed inc. build the motor in 2007 and it has been flawless, Tom actually offered up the work under warrantee since they built the motor, after 5 yrs. of mostly hard driving including several trips to the drags I respectfully declined and was glad to pay the very reasonable price. So I was out the door at 1:00 with a couple of new t-shirts drove the 150 mi. home and all is good..

I wish I was only 150 miles from a shop with that kind of customer service
