Thumbs up Thanx again Slowhawk!

A big thanks to Don!

The man has a cold, ..... his top mechanic goes home early to beat the impending rain because @ Slowhawk performance employees drive real race cars to work with slicks and all!


So ...... I show up around 1:00 pm with a simple check engine light blinking @ me, and I end up an hour later with 8 brandy new spark shiny plugs, a leaking exhaust manifold all weld up, and a burnt wire to the PCM being found, soldered, and repaired, ....... all mind U without an appointment!

Service like no other Don!

Simply the best not like the rest, Slowhawk performance.

You got that Right.. Simply the Best!

Who's the top mechanic? I thought that was Don himself??

Anthony's right though, I hope he gets well soon!

Doesnt surprise me! Don's a great guy that does amazing work.

bluethunder, your car is in great hands. It always helps to have a true enthusiast wrenching on your ride, cuz you know theres alot of time and attention that is going to go into it. And Don is just that guy

Well my lotery money is running low so now I have to go and find a job and work, ..... but Don worked up a nice price on a set of 1 7/8 Stainless LT's with an ORY, & a tune for the silly sauce later this year!

The way Don wrenches I might need a damn rollbar come April 1st!

Reliable is an understatement!

What's up pops!

1 hr plug swap plus various other issues and no blood!

Most guys say all kinds of nasty words when they get to plug #8, but not Don, he just looks @ it and laughs.

Is there a date when it will be up and running? I would like to get my truck dyno'd before it goes up for the winter. Need to get the megasquirt dialed in...road tunes can be tough and sketchy...
