True.
I've been a Cartek customer and fan for over 13 years (and 3 different cars) now, their workmanship and tuning/programming skills have NEVER disappointed me.

Yes, he is. You'll get either Nick or Julio on the phone and both are knowledgeable but Julio is the owner/tuner/engineer of these stellar packages.

Cartek is one of the few original LS1 shops left! They always seem to put together a solid product that Flatout WORK!

Never heard anything bad about them. Only thing I heard was from a guy at the track that had his car for tuning there, for whatever reason they couldn't get tuned right, tried all kinds of stuff but in the end he said juilo did whatever he could to make it right and even called him weeks later to see how it was and if he ever needed anything he would do it for him. That to me spoke volumes to me about Juilo, he did what he could and stood up and wanted to do anything to make it right. nobodies perfect and every shop has a bad day but its what they do at the end to correct it. He stood his shop
