    As one of those blessed regulars, don't know where I would end up when emergency hits!!! They are always there to help, regardless how busy they are. We are lucky indeed!!

    I never met Craig personally but I did have him perform a PPI on a 550 I was going to buy.
    His whole approach is very professional. He keeps you in the loop with emails or phone calls the entire time and even bent over backwards to accomodate the seller by even picking the car up by flatbed.
    I am in NJ but I cant say enough good things about Craig and Fastcars. You Cali guys are lucky to have him in your area.

    I am dreading going back to FastCars as my 360 needs its clutch and its going to be expensive but I would never let anyone else touch my 360 ! Well the 2 + hour drive sucks also.

    Mike, my office is not too far away from FastCars. Let me know if you need a ride back home after dropping the car off and I can bring you back at least to Ventura. You can PM me or catch up with me at Cars & Coffee.

    I have found that Craig and Wendy are so supportive that they really give you confidence in whatever is being done.

    But I think the real value in Fast Cars is not that they just do a fabulous job and are there when you need them, but you can have the work done on your car at a REASONABLE PRICE. My 348 is there now for a major.

    WOW

    Wont be long now and my 348 is coming home. FAST CARS keeps sending me the pictures of my engine out major and all the work that is being done and believe it or not the bill is what Craig in his estimate said it would be. No hidden problems and no hidden charges. We can own these cars and the major doesnt blow you away. To say that I am excited is putting it mildly.

    Craig,
    Thanks for meeting me and helping me with this XK120 purchase. As you know, I purchased the car and it's in your hands for some minor things to get it just perfect. Really appreciated your help and expertise.

    To others,
    For those who have not visited Fast Cars, I'd like to say that it's the most impressive restoration location I've seen. Not just the detail of the work, but I could see the pride in all of the employees. The machine shop, fabrication facility, organization of the assembly room... really impressive. These guys do incredible work with great pride and I would not hesitate to take a car there.

    Thanks Craig!

    Visited Fast Cars and Craig again this week. Top shelf people and projects. Always an education and great experience.

    While Fast Cars certainly has experienced and seasoned technicians, I'm encouraged some of the staff are young guys too. Very impressed with Francisco and Mike. Our hobby and cars are in good hands and it's exciting to see Craig developing good mechanics for the future.

    I literally walked through there the other day when dropping my 456M off.
    Craig took some time and gave my family the best tour of that amazing place.

    I also noticed that Periscope and the white Testarossa, could not believe it.

    Fast Cars also noticed that I was flooding my 456M rear seats and floorpan every single time I washed the car (they were upgrading my rear speakers).

    Thanks GOD they addressed the waterlogged/moldy bits and informed me of what I was doing before I destroyed the damn thing. Craig is the man.
