DC PERFORMANCE/ CHECK OUT OUR SHOP

I would like to thank all of customers for the
support this year. Striking out on my own has been
quite an experience after 18yrs with Dodge. We have a
nice facility and work every day to find ways to
improve it. The shop is about 6000sqft has 9 service
bays and 5 lifts. We have three offices and a waiting
room. Our passion is the Viper but we also work on
other exotic cars as well as all Dodge products. The
next push is going for the SRT 4 and SRT 10 truck
market.

I have worked hard to assemble a team of experienced
people who share the same passion for cars that I do.
We currently have 3 technicians (including myself), 1
apprentice, a full time business manager and full time
internet/Sales and marketing person. With any new business it’s
been a struggle, the biggest gamble-investment of my
life. The biggest challenge has been dealing with
people and learning how keep my crew motivated and
customers informed. All in all it has been very
rewarding and thanks to our customers we are growing
every day.

We have made some major accomplishments this year, top
finishes in the Viper Challenge series, Silver State
Classic and Viper Club drags. Two weekends ago we won both
the VRL wheel-to-wheel races in a prepared Comp Coupe.
We helped Paxton develop the only available smog legal
supercharger system for the Viper, installed several of
our twin supercharger systems (this was a challenge!)
and worked with AEM to develop the first stand alone
engine management system for the viper (soon to be
released).

I would like to thank everyone for their support and my
crew for their long hours and commitment to quality. We
have big plans for this year, some Speedvision racing,
an in shop load chassis dynamometer and some great new
products. Our long term goal is to be an all make
performance and tuning shop with emphasis on the
Viper.

Dude. You stole pics of my garage at my house. Whats with that?

Nice place. You should set up a live web cam. I can do it for you for 100 bucks if you have lan connection. Then everyone can watch.

I was at Dan's shop yesterday for the first time. Truely a first class operation. I saw no less than 4 SC cars, one with two Paxton SC'ers! One of the Paxton cars was getting a big air to air intercooler.

Sweeeeeet Shop! I've got one of the few Twin Vortec V2 supercharger systems that Dan has done, and I've loved it since day one. It's been running flawlessly for about 9 months now. And...... every several months I get a phone call from him... just checking in to make sure everything is running ok. Great work, fair prices, and excellent customer follow-up. No wonder his business has expanded to where it is now. You guys on the California coast are SO lucky to have him around!

Yes we are, Dan and Boy's are a Class Act all the way. Every time We take our Viper in for service, Dan treats it like his own....

You just hit on a great idea. 'VIPERCAM' The perfect hook for every nervous Viper owner that leaves his car at the shop. He can sit at home or work and keep tabs on what is happening to his baby at all hours of the day. Bundle that with a proximity sensor and automatic email alerts and you really have something :2tu:

I wish we had a all Viper serivce center in Chicago. Right now to get any GOOD dealer wrok we need to go to Ronoake. To do any non dealer work we go to Sampognaro's. Both GREAT places, but it would be really nice if we had ONE! Bill and Gastman should open up a "dealer sanctioned" shop in the City, and then we would have One home, and a hell of a party palace!

IN addition to the whole Viper line, and the SRT Truck, how about anything for the Ram Hemi? I keep hearing the the
computer is killing hidden performance.

We are really excited about the Hemi Truck. Starting next month we will be offering a supercharger system and exhaust products. We would like to make the Hemi truck compete with the new SRT Ram!

Steve,
I am afraid we are spoiled by the weather here in California,
plus it is kind of hard to test in the snow. Seriously though,
we are here to help anyone, anytime to resolve Viper related problems. Please feel free to call.

I met Dan at the first Viper Event in Detroit... He was like a kid in a candy store.... then again so was I! Now look at his candy store!

Dan has been dedicated to being the best and to treating all his customers with respect. He has been through lots of changes throughout the years, so it is great to see him in his own top notch shop. He has worked hard and deserves every square foot of it.

Those of you that have not seen WingKings Twin Supercharged Coupe... make sure you ask him to open the hood at the Dallas VOI.
