Where are the GT Guys?
- Thread starter AtomicGT
- Start date
Don't know about the GT Guys but Ryan has been traveling all over the place doing service and upgrades on GTs. He'll have his engineering degree at the end of the year - then looking at opening up a shop to do GTs and others full time.

Atomic,
I've been doing GT work around the Southwest for years now. Most of my clients are in the metro Phoenix area, but I have done work and PPIs in LA, So Cal, Vegas, even Texas.
What is nice is that I come to you. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Thank you for asking about us. We just finished a 10 day Southeast trip to FL and GA. Many thanks to all that hosted us there. As of now no plans on coming out to CA because of our annual MD trip (thanks John) then a few weeks after that Carlisle, PA, then later in the summer the Rally, which is here in our hometown. Not to mention the 15 GT’s we have in our shop currently from all over the country, some of which are maintenance, light to heavy modifications, to full on massive rebuilds. If you are planning on attending the Rally we will be more than happy to work on it then. I have made a post in the Rally section about scheduling as many owners are taking advantage of being in our hometown for the Rally.
I do think it is fabulous that we are still going stronger than ever since 2006 when we started our company. We have doing this longer than ANYONE else out there as we were on the original prototype team for the 2005-6 Ford GT. We only work on the Ford GT as that is our specialty and full time job. The GT is our life and livelihood. I usually don’t comment on that but I have seen a few of our “competitors” try to say that they have worked on more cars than we have. I sincerely doubt that as last time I have counted we have repaired/painted well over 526 cars, maintain many more than that, and have physically worked on more than half of the 4038 production. That isn’t even counting the cars we worked on while before they were shipped to the dealers.

Well said Rich.
Not saying the other two gentlemen aren't qualified, I'm certain they are.
But hands down, no doubt about it, you and Denis are the real deal.
I'm glad you're here for all current and future owners. Best to both of you.

I can, without a doubt vouch for Rich and Dennis, The GT Guys. If I had a GT and didn't do my own work, I'd move hell to get it to the guys.
I went on the GT program in 2003. They had already been intricately involved years before that. I'd venture to say they know more than most of the people who designed the car. Every thing looks great on paper, but when it come to actually making things work, you need guys like Rich and Dennis. My Heroes.

I think that is a truly remarkable statistic (1/2 of the total GT production). Surely an insurance carrier would have these guys certified as THE preferred repair facility. Great job Rich & Denis!

Don't ask Rich and Denis about dealing with insurance companies. :frown
I think they should have left a GTG sticker on every car they worked on. That would be a cool "status symbol."

Oh we've discussed it, usually while I watch them work craft on otherwise salvage value aluminum. I remain surprised at the process (or lack thereof) to qualify someone competent vs. some the many fly-by-night outfits that are authorized as 'repair' facilities.

The GTGuys recently did my bumper delete and did a great job. I typically do all my own work, but I'm glad they did the installation. I was really surprised how little of the car had to be taken apart to remove the bumper. That is the benefit of experience.
Gt guys dont have competitors.
I respect and appreciate the open and free market system but imho gt guys are the one and only. And by the way, these are great guys and nice people.

I've never had Rich and Dennis work on my car but I don't think anyone can dispute their breadth of experience and skill. For those of us not so close to Michigan or able to wait for them to come around, there are a number of others I'm equally confident in to work on these cars. As stated, Kendall and Ryan are top notch. Also for those in the Central Valley, as Marv and others can attest, Evan Guyett does great work and actually has my car right now for routine maintenance. Thankfully, many of us have access to qualified individuals to care for our GT's.
