Mr. Mike Schatz

Acting on the hot "tip" from Roy, and recalling Noel's endorsement of this same guy, I dropped the GT3 off with him on Friday. We'll see what happens.

One funny thing already happened: as he's walking me out to the pickup truck (in which Melena is waiting), he casually mentions that he'll put the windshield wipers on correctly. I say "huh?" He says, "they're upside down." :) Guess Pioneer Porsche didn't exactly do a "Quality is Job #1" on those. ;)

I sure am glad you didn't get rained on:D

First the missing valve stem cap and now this. It's a wonder how that car is allowed on the road. :D ;)

I think you're going to immediately feel that extra down force the wipers will now give you. :D

Strike 1 (and maybe Strike 2 and 3) for this guy.
A. Car not ready when originally estimated (today)
B. No call to let me know status, yesterday OR today, so I'm assuming it's not done
C. No return call on my message left today at lunch time


So.........Sorry Roy and Noel, but this guy seems to have fallen off the earth with my car. :(

Oh man... He and I were at the Spearmint Rhino all day and just got back. What color was your car? Just kidding. I hope it's not all that bad. I hate it when they blow off the messages. :mad: Keep me tuned.

Roy.

So Mike called me today (and via vmail as I was on a plane) explained that he was out the past two days due to an emergency.

I'm thinking that I'll let ithe situation slide this time and trust you two, and let him display his awesomeness. :)

[96740]

Good to hear. Now where are you going? :p

[Moving Chicane]

Car work is done. Just a fluid change left to do then it's ready for pick-up. :) Mike says it's one of the strongest GT3's he's driven, and the $4,500 exhaust/cats/etc. rock! :D

[Moving Chicane]

Car is back :), runs great :), and just keeps getting better to drive! :D

Thumbs up for Mike as he delivered as promised! :cool: Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or use him myself again!!!

[96740]

:) Cool.
