Default Sad news about Turbo Tune

This is a repost from the forced induction forum, but wanted to post it here too.

I have been trying to get in for another tune at Turbo Tune in Greensboro NC and finally heard back from them today. It turns out that Mark, their owner and only tuner, passed away on December 4th.

I was only around him a couple days a total of 10 hours, but he was a great guy. His death was a sudden thing. I just wanted guys who have used him to know and keep his friends and family in their prayers.

Sadly, I will have to find another tuner at some point, but I will ask for suggestions around the first of the year.

It's sad when people pass...it's just a reminder that life is something we shouldn't take for granted. Glad he made a positive impact on your life Rich. Best of luck finding another talented person...and best wishes to Mark's family!
