Great work by Gotham Racing!!

I just picked up my alternator, which I had the guys at Gotham Racing rebuild and polish. They did an amazing job!

Steve Kan went above and beyond normal customer service, as he drove halfway across Dallas to meet me and pick it up (saved me shipping!), finished it ahead of schedule, and drove back to meet me so I could pick it up! He also kept me up to date on the status, and answered all of my questions very quickly and thoroughly. Amazing!

The pricing was great, and the finished product is beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice, and I can't wait to get it back on my car and post some new engine bay pics!

I will definitely be using them again when my wallet catches up to my mod wish list, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for knowledgable people with great customer service.

Thanks again to Steve Kan, Rich Farrell, and all the gang at www.gothamracing.com

Since it's on the same subject... Called Steve up at Gotham Racing Tuesday afternoon askin for a Koyo radiator for my FD, said it would take a couple days to get in. But later that night he called a friend since he didn't have my #, it was all ready for me.

Even let a friend of mine pick it up from his shop who doesn't live far away, and charged wayyyyyy less than any other shop, local or not was asking for it.

Had a bitch of a time putting it in, but it was fast and excellent service.

BTW, anybody wants to buy a Ninja motorcycle? Proceeds go to my FD mods

No problem.

Hey, do they also do polishing on normal parts or only when they are performing other work (like rebuilds)?

I think they can polish anything, as they also mention UIM polishing on the web site.

The rebuild was something I had done as an add on to the polishing, since it was going to be apart anyway.

Just check the web site, or shoot them an email.

The price broke down like this:

$110.00 for disassembly and polishing per the web site(same price for polishing, powder coating, or ceramic coating)

$10.00 for the Red stator paint

rebuild price varies with the amount of work your unit needs, so your price will depend on the condition of your alternator.

turn around time was right at a week, and the pictures don't do it justice, it looks spectacular!

And it really raises your bling bling ratings!

Sure do. We can polish/ceramic coat/powder coat anything you can think of, to include front and rear brake calipers, rims, and anything under the hood.

Thanks for the kind words, David. If anyone has any questions feel free to call the number on the website or shoot me a PM.
