Default Props to Mike Bogdan & Thrust Performance!!!

I just wanted to give props to Mike (a fellow Corvette Challenge racer) & his shop. I had damage to a rear wheel on my 09Zo6 from an object sticking out of the side of the road. Rob Farley mentioned Mike had a shop near me. The shop is in South Amboy on Rt.9. He has a guy come to the shop & does wheel repairs/paint in a day. I did that & the results were great!

I then had Mike do a 4 wheel road force balance, alignment (figuring the jolt changed the alignment) and cut my rear rotors for a vibration in the pedal I was getting on braking. Mike took his time, was more then professional, tried to dial in the alignment to my specs to the hundredth!

The next day I felt the car was a little twitchy & something just didn't feel right with the alignment. I went back and Mike re-checked the alignment & re-tweaked it, again taking his time until it was perfect!

I just wanted to mention him & his shop on here. If anyone needs service like I mentioned, I would recommend them 150%...Great work, great customer service.

Thanks Mike!

Ron

I wish he was closer to me in Long Island. Then I also wished ECS was closer. He been trying to get me to the shop again with some things I want to do with my cars and have been procrastinating and put to the back burner.

This is a shop with the most advanced equipment on the market. The tire machine, tire balance machine and the alignment machine are all the best money can buy and the most sophisticated equipment on the market.

Mike is a person that will do the correctly the first time. Mike will also tell you what is needed to fix/correct the problem and only what will be needed.

110% correct! A fly landed on my car during the alignment & the #'s went bezerk!!

Thanks again for the referral Rob!

Just wanted to bump this thread up. Mike did the install of my headers, 3 inch true duals, and adj. torque arm on my camaro this week. The work was TOP NOCH. Mike really takes pride in his work and it really shows in the finished product. I would recommend him for ANYTHING you need done on the car. He is very knowledgeable and gets the job done right, the first time. Here are a few pics:

Thanks for all the good words Jeff. I'm sure we will be seeing you and your son Matt back at the shop real soon for some more upgrades on the Camaro.

Yup! Yesterday the car was back for the turndowns and Eibach Drag Launch Springs. Coming back next week for the passenger front lower control arm.

Thanks again to Mike, Bob and everyone at Thrust
