Default My Experience @ Canadain Performance

Well I want to share my trip to Canadian Performance to drop my car off for some upgrades.Like a new 402 with AFR 225 hollow stem valves, a monster N/A cam, Arun's brakets, i have ECSbut Aruns is a much better design, 96lb injectors & driverbox. It was a long ride pulling a trailer and a little nerv racking but we made it into Niagra Falls about 11pm Friday night and wow, what a beautiful place . Next day we jumped into the truck and headed up to the shop. We arrived to open arms. Arun I met first and all I can say is he is a very nice guy with a ton of knowlege. Then I had the pleasure to meet Dave and his wife, extremly geat people. Next was frank and his killer 427 platnum silver vette. ( Think I might paint my car the same color in the winter) Frank extended his help with Arun & Dave and my wife to get the car off the trailer. The shop was a well oiled machine, super clean, well organized and bursting with great people. I am so siked and have complete faith that when the car is completed it will meet all my expectations. My hat goes off to everyone at Candian Performance..... pict link http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1989277

Guys Im from Ct and I been to all the top shops on the board,and I decided to trailer my car to Canada for this reason. Nothing compare's to the experience level I felt from Arun,Fern and Dave. They all have given me such a great feeling about my car that I cant explain in words. Its just that feeling you get in your heart when you know your in good hands. Arun is a straight shooter and will not you to believe something different. This shop is small, but is very orginized, and runs like a well oiled machine! There knowelege in vettes blows my ind. Arun is so easy to talk with to discuss your goals with your car and he gives you a honest answer and is always reachable, when ever you call. These guys never close Monday - Saturday and even Sunday. Canadian Performance with Arun is an unstopable force to be wrecken with. My shop will always be CP and its well worththe trip!

Glad to hear you are happy with CP.

Had a 440 LS7 built personally by Dave at CP.

I was present and helped build the motor with him.

I came to appreciate the attention to detail that Dave puts in to all his work. He built that motor like as if it was his. Doublechecked all clearances and specs almost to the point of being 'anal' about it.

CP is a buisiness, but you find that the guy's there are passionate about their work, and love what they do.
