Thumbs up KDK in Orlando

Where exactly are you located? KDK Performance (KDK Performance - Orlando Florida) in Orlando is excellent! Kevin, Rob and Paul know their stuff.

I will be taking my '86 to Larry this weekend to have some work done while I am out of town. I can let you know afterwards how his work is. She'll be there for three weeks or so.

Already dropped her off yesterday. After spending a few hours with Larry, it is obvious that he knows his way around these cars. I am having some maintenance items done as well as some basic bolt-on-go-fast goodies installed.

Larry has completely redone my car soup to nuts and has done an outstanding job. He's the one who's taken me to the dark side

Picked the GN up today from Larry. He is very thorough in the setup. He did exactly what he said he would, communicated any additional needs and repaired several small items (at no charge) to get everything working as it should. I'll be going back for a fuel pump and regulator upgrade plus alky kit as $ permits. Oh yeah, the GN runs SOOOO Much better, much more responsive!
If you need work done call Larry!

NO COMMENT on last post. Be sure to check out other "Buick areas" for differing opinions before you trust your engine to someone.
