Default East Texas Muscle Cars

East Texas Muscle Cars is awesome: Customer service. Time fame. Price. And quality of work.

In trying to discuss various possible mods to my GTO with a couple of speedshops in Houston, ETMC was the best at working with me. Unrelated, they ended up having the best price, also.

They came recommended by England Green and Pedders.

Once all the parts came in (which was a four month nightmare due to a certain wheel manufacturer from Washington State bought out by a Canadian group who charged me over $3000 and did not even fix the wheels!) ETMC had my GTO knocked out in days. And took the time to go over the suspension adjustments with me.

Mods: 14” Brembo brakes, Pedders Track II Extreme Xa, rear wheel mini-tub, tranny cooler.

They are worth the drive to Longview, TX.

And no, this is not a paid endorsement. In researching mods, some of the speedshops in Houston seemed to have lost interest.

I still cannot believe that Fikse Wheels were such incompetents with your wheels, nor that they accused you of extortion when you asked for a discount after waiting four months and not even fixing your wheels as you'd paid for them to do.

As for pix...I have a few!









Mark learning about adjustments to his new mods. (He's the clean one. )



My favorite car there, though...

I understand. All of my communications with them were email. They responded quickly via email. But we did not talk on the phone.

Im very sorry if you got our machine we are alwasy extremely busy, most of my phone calls average 40+ mins with a customer, so i dont get to talk to to many each day as customer service is #1 to us to we do talk for a while usually. If im not on teh phone im out tuning,or with a customer so if you leave a message i will ALWAYS get back to you

but like the OP EMAIL is easiest for me. I can respond 24/7 365 and get to you REALLY quick that way.

Please shoot me an email with what your wanting for your car and your phone number and ill be SURE to get with you!
