It should be running pretty good if that is all true. Chuck will do the oil changes, and if you get a tune from him, it will include updates for any other mods for free, if I'm not mistaken. How can you beat that? Before I went to Chuck, I had other work done, or I looked at other shops to see their setup, and get a feel for their professionalism and attitude. I feel very comfortable with him. He explains EVERYTHING, and backs it up with performance. When you drop a few thousand at a place, and get sh*t results, and their attitude is BS, you never go back. That happened to me at another place. Maybe I seem like an overly enthusiastic supporter of Chuck's place, but I hate getting ripped off, hate being made to look foolish,and hate being setup for additional charges and BS. You will never feel that way when dealing with Chuck.

I have been a professional carpenter for well over 30 years, with 26 in the NJ Carpenter's Union. I take pride in my work, and in my knowledge and desire to put out a quality effort.I feel that Chuck has the same perspective on things. Anyone can do a sh*t job. I look for someone who strives to rise above that, and turn out quality.Maybe it's old school, maybe it's what my Dad taught me about doing things right, I don't know. BUT, there IS a difference. CHUCK COW!

VERY WELL STATED!!!! I'm a Submarine Sailor and Chucks work ethic and professionalism stand out! He tuned my 06 Coupe and I couldn't have been happier and ALL the people that I have ever recommended to him see ecstatic with their car afterward!

You will NOT find anyone more knowledgeable in the inner workings of the C5 and C6 power-train computers and Corvette mechanics.
