Thumbs up Just a quick 'thank you' to Cartek Performance Engineering
I decided to do a little basic maintenance (some fluid changes, replacing a kinked cooler line etc.) to both my Corvette and my Camaro Z28 recently and even though they were quite busy/booked up Cartek (www.cartek.net in case anyone wasn't sure where they're located) still managed to squeeze me in and took very good care of my babies.
Very tidy and skilled workmanship as usual and my cars are running strong as they always have been since I've been going there (over 10 years now).
Thanks again Julio, Roy, John and Nick.

Just bumping this up because my buddy tim used to work at cartek as a welder. He also swore by these guys and I think they had a hand in putting his gto together or at least the tune.

Having just picked up a 2000 ss, I guess I know where I'll go if I want some work/ a tune done.

They still work on the LS1 F-bodies (among others) for sure, it's just that their website was redone not too long ago and some stuff still needs to be added back onto it.
