"The seminar was the best money I have ever spent on my car hands down. Ben laid out some serious knowledge for anyone willing to listen. Just the simple insight of how to read plugs was worth the money and could possibly save my engine."

"Reading the plugs was only one section of 12, so you can imagine the things he had to say. I think anyone who is looking for a "good" running car could benefit from just listening to him. So if you are even considering going then just do it."
