A message from our owner, Jeff Shmanske:  

      About Detroit's Best:

    I created Detroit's Best as a small part time side business out of my home garage in Rochester, Michigan.
    The business was started out of necessity when I grew tired of the poor workmanship I was paying to receive at
    local shops. Back then Mopar was the odd ball and even in the Detroit metro area,
    I could not find a shop worthy of working on my 65 Satellite or 68 Roadrunner.     

    What I found were shops that "do it all". Meaning they had limited experience and expertise with Mopars
    and some of them didn't even like working on them! I guess I don't blame them for trying to appeal to the
    masses. If you look around at your average "mixed brand" car show today, the Mopar crowd is usually
    outnumbered pretty badly. Still, I wasn't about to pay anyone to work on my Mopars when they viewed my
    vehicles as the competition.
          
    Our shop is different than most. We specialize in Mopars and all other engine work is our "minor"
    so to speak.    

        About Me:

    I have always been a Mopar muscle car guy. My first car was a 1965 Plymouth Satellite with a high
    compression 383 engine that had me addicted to Mopar power from the first moment I stuck the pedal
    to the floor!!!

    I spent years working in custom shops where I was labeled the resident Mopar guy and eagerly serviced every
    Mopar that rolled through the doors.       

    My Mopar experience and desire to work on them eventually landed me a job with an exclusive
    Mopar Performance / Chrysler contracted shop named Arrow Racing Engines in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
    I spent a little over four years there as the lead dynamometer operator and engine tuner building and tuning
    nothing but Mopar engines including hemis, "A" engines and Vipers. I moved on when "Daimler Chrysler" started
    downsizing.       

    I helped design many of the Mopar Performance products sold today including the cam / intake and
    power certification for the 426 crate line of engines. I completed all of the fuel distribution testing
    for the current Mopar dual plane hemi intake and many of the "M1" line of Mopar intake manifolds.
    I have built and tested more Mopar engines than I can put a number on, including Hemi's, Big Blocks,
    A engines, and Viper V-10's.
     

    From a smooth running powerful street engine, to a 1500+ horsepower Mopar monster, we can build
    it to exceed your expectations.       

    Give us a call.

    Best regards,

    Jeff Shmanske
