I and many others can vouch for the quality of work that Lou does.
One thing he hates is having to fix other peoples messes so if you bring him a mess...he might tell you, "No Thanks." and he also does not like people who talk more than they....listen....
He'll be straight up honest with you...sometimes brutally honest....he won't try and sell you a bunch of useless crap you don't need....and if you can....listen....he will take good care of you.
His labor rates are equal to or less/hour than most standard repair shops and he uses only proven parts form reputable sources.
He's one of the best out there, and before he'll take your money for something, if he knows someone better for the job....or just thinks the job is better done by someone else, he will say so and let you know who to go see.
Once he does his work on a car...he considers it HIS...and he'll stand behind it. If you let some other hero mess with it without his blessing...he'll bounce ya.
If you suck at tuning and don't take his advice or the advice by his designated tuners....he'll bounce ya...
He does not need the work....he loves the cars....and at his stage in life, he will pick and choose where to best apply them...
Who wouldn't?
He has a strong preference for true 86 and 87's that have not been overly molested by quacks and independents...he does not like working on hot air cars or Typhoons/Syclones.
If you need your hurt feelings catered to....forget about it...file a hurt feelings report with someone who cares. He expects respect, and he is quite capable of giving it too.
He's laid into me once or twice when I needed it....I have lots of self esteem so I kept my shorts outa my butt and took it as constructive feedback...retuned my thought process and continue to enjoy the benefits of his commitment to and expertise in making sure my car RUNS....it it freakin' runs....
So summed up...I strongly recommend Lou.
