Default Drive rebuilds by CK Motorsports in MI

I am looking for some feedback on your experience with CK Motorsports in MI for drive rebuilding. Anyone with #3,4 or 5 drives that have used them for rebuilds?

Positives, negatives?

Thanks

They do not stand behind their work if there is a problem. Excuses excuses. Never their fault. I have 2 good friends that are very un happy and both are out ALOT of money! I have actually been contimplating starting a theread about them. I hate to take money out of Michigan because there are a ton of great companys here but CK is not one of them.

Good luck

Send the drives down to Craig Collabella in Florida. Mel Riggs wanted 25k to rebuild my buddys dry sump 6's. 25k wasnt happening, so he went and picked them back up and sent them to Craig. Craig had them both done for around 12k.

What about George at All American Drive? He's in Michigan and he came highly rated to me by John at the Bravo shop.

For SSM 3,4,5,6 stuff, you need to stick with guys who do them all day long . Nothing like a bravo drive. Some parts are NLA and these guys either have them on the shelf or know who does. Not too mention the labor hours involved in setting them up.
