Call from cartek.
I got a call this morning from Max at Cartek. The first thought that crossed my mind was "did I forget to pay for something?" But that wasn't the case, Max was simply calling to see if I was happy with the way the car is running after all the work they'd done to it several weeks ago. I suddenly thought about the driver of a Porche Turbo that I made very unhappy last night and then explained to Max that, "I'm extremely happy with the car!"
I guess I'm not used to getting a call from a shop unless something is wrong. It's nice to know there is a great shop around that cares, especially now that my factory warranty is now a moot issue.

I've received calls and emails from Max, Julian, and Julio. All just checking in to see how everything is working. This is a valued trait in a shop. Knowing that the service doesn't stop when the job is done says a lot.
BTW...what did you have done?
