Default Shop work info

Just alittle FYI to some people here I talked to during the winter that were thinking to have work done in the spring.We are currently booked till April as of now.Just wanted to throw a heads up so no one is surprised when they call for mechanical work done.We are currently looking for another mechanic but I don't think even that would help since our 3 lifts will pretty much be taken.Our shop is growing fast with all the F-body,Vette,Truck and Ford vehiclesLike ussual I try to get the jobs done ASAP and tuning is still available pretty much all the time.

Thanks
Don

Your on the list When your stuff comes in we'll schedule your setup.I purposely left the last few weeks of march and first few weeks of April open for yourself and the other 5 people that ordered the Cam special.Everybody wanted them done around the same time.We will get them done I'm expecting to have your stuff mid next week.So give me a call at the end of the week and you might get it done sooner.

Twin turbo on brents car next year...that will push me into the next realm.

...cool I needed a lift me up, some a-hole had an altenator fall out of his truck and bounce under my car and blow my left tire out. checking to see if the rim is messed up but this is a happy thought.
