Thumbs up great experience with pavlock

first of all i just want to say that Brian is a good guy. I came to him asking if he can find out why my car is leaning.

My car has been leaning to the left for w long while now and Pavlock Performance is the third shop I have taken my car to. (I am not going to mention the other two shops i have been to because i dont want to bash them. But they are very respected shops in this area) One shop looked at my car and siad there was nothing wrong with it. (MY FENDER KEEPS HITTING MY TIRE!!!! ) The other shop, without even looking at it, just told me that alot of F-Bodies do this and its not a big deal.

I brought my car to Brian and he looked at it right away. Right off the bat he noticed my problem and noticed that my panhard rod and LCA's were not adjusted properly (wich were installed by the first shop mentioned).

Long story short he worked on my car for 2 hours adjusting my suspension, measuring anything and everything he could. He did everything he could to help me out and, unlike the other guys, he did his best for me. My car handles better now that he made the right adjustments but he could not find the cause of the lean so he got on the phone and set me up with a frame shop. He said he did not feel right charging me because he could not find the cause of the lean. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE i have experienced with performance shops.

Once again great guy. Honest, works hard, and really enjoys what he does. I know who Im going to from now on.

Thanks Brian!!!

Every car is different when it comes to making suspension changes to get thing right. Hell, a had a v6 bird back in 99' that had bad wheel hop and a poly trans mount ended up stopping the hop for it.
