When choosing a shop its generally better to see what sort of customer cars they have there rather then what the actual shop looks like.

Cartek's shop is nothing special to look at. Its a basic garage in the heart of a city.

But look at the cars they have. Everytime I have been there over the years they have a slew of top notch/nice cars their, LS1/LT1 FBods, C5s, C6s, Trailblazers etc....

Oh yeah, you could eat off that bathroom floor

....you might not live long enough to enjoy the awesome work they did on your car but yes you really could eat off of it.

In all seriousness, a truly great shop.

The new shop is going to rock! 10,000+ square feet if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully they will be in the new shop soon!

I found it kind of ironic that Roy was backing the car into the shop and on to the dyno considering his lack of a drivers liscense.

It's more like a basic garage in the heart of a middle class suburban town. But they sure do work some "magic" in that "basic garage"!!

they do catch a lot of sh*t. That is why they no longer have dyno days, and why they do not tune after 7 or 8 pm.
