Default ART CARR

Art Carr has passed on Sep. 9. I've been a customer of his since '76.

I have nothing good to say about Art Carr and his business. His idiot mechanics did a lot of damage to my 69 Firebird TH400 to 2004r conversion. Yes, I took him to court, yes, I won. But the year long hassle to get repaid for all of his shoddy work was a nightmare and a half.

Goodbye, good riddance and all that...no love lost here at all.

Are you sure it was THE Art Carr? Because
the folks that bought the "Art Carr" name
developed a nasty reputation. It might be
the reason the real Art Carr got back into
the business with CPT.

That's the name of the business that got sold.
Did you deal with Art Carr himself, or the new
owners? They deserve to be trashed. It sounds
an awful lot like you dealt with them.
