Yes they are open on Saturday.

This week was nuts for them, they had to prep a bunch of cars for the rental on Thursday, including my own. And the came out to lend a hand to all the customers that were at the rental. They are a the shop and working on Saturdays.

This bashing of sponsors isnt necessary in a public forum. PM them with your concerns.

Yeah those guys are extremely busy, evertime I go in there the phone never leaves Daves ear and there's cars everywhere, I can only imagine how many E-mails he has to go through in a day. I think the best way to reach them is by phone. 908-317-4496. Being a Cartek customer for about 3yrs now and I would never chose another shop if you paid me, those are some very cool guys that turn out stupid fast cars and go out of there way for customers. Are you trying to order the clutch or do you have questions?

I am trying to find out if they have a C5 clutch in stock. I was told by a buddy that they were out of stock till next year but its close to next year now. The stock clutch cant handle a full throttle pull on the highway, its pretty rediculous.

They are REAL busy but will get back to you. They had a rental this week so they were closed Thursday so I'm sure that set them back a bunch. I'm a longtime customer (since '98), would never go anywhere else.

They are currently out of stock on friction plates. I was testing a new friction plate design for them, but it does not seem to be as good as the original. They should have the entire clutch assembly in stock soon.

You can or course double check on this with Dave 908.317.4496 on Monday.
