I just discovered the Wizard (Tators Dodge)approximately 3 months ago. I agree the service is excellent, Chuck really knows the Viper better than anyone out there. He eats, sleeps and drinks Vipers. His shop is immaculate his prices are awesome. I must have been to his shop a half a dozen times since I met him. Glad I discovered him.

Chuck:
Have you ever thought about a "branch" in Bavaria?
Munich area would be fine! However, if you prefer the mountain area I would be glad to assist you in finding a really nice place .

Hey Chuck (The Viper Wizard),

It's so great to see these wonderful comments. Someday I will make it down to your spring BBQ to visit your dealership. Speaking of visits, when are you all coming back to the museum for a visit? Now I realize that they are not Vipers but our new exhibit in Bldg. #3 this fall will be <u>The American Street Rod</u>. It debuts on 11/1/02 so I hope you will find the time to drive up and see this great new exhibit. It will run through about the middle of May so you will have plenty of opportunities to view these great custom creations. Look forward to seeing you then!!

I am envious that you guys have got Chuck!

One of the best things that have come with owning my Viper has been the discovery of the Viper Wizard!
Wizard[1].gif

I have had to do several things to make my car it right and between using my service manual and Chuck's advice I've not had to subjugate my Viper to a Dealership.

The man talks to me like we've been friends for years and as a result I don't even bother to go to my local dealership for parts. I'd rather order parts from Chuck and wait a few days as he conducts business in a small town way (from his heart).

If I'm ever able to purchase a NEW Viper I'll buy it from Chuck.
Until then I'd like to come up for his BBQ next year as I can't make VOI.

Thanks Chuck.

Chuck from Woodstock...(GA)

Maybe we can turn Chuck's BBQ into a Sturgis!

I could not agree more!!! I feel guilty calling Chuck with a general question - Chuck always obliges...I really try to keep it to a minimum, as the man is running a business...I agree on parts...I would rather Chuck make a buck, given how much he "gives" to the community...Waiting a few days is OK by me!

On car purchase, if we ever purchase another Dodge new, I am sure Chuck will beat the local prices, and shipping I would guess would be &lt; 1K...

Here is how my conversations usually go with Chuck...

Me: Hi Chuck, I have a problem. Can you get me a XXXX?

Chuck: Hmm, well I could sell you a XXXX but why don't you do YYYY. It will be cheaper.

Me: **** Chuck, why can't I buy anything from you?! You always talk me out of a sale!

Point is, he doesn't sell you something unless you need it. I really appreciate that. Most people would simply sell what they have. The bugger still won't move the the west coast.

1 word: AWESOME!
I too drive ~ 90 minutes to see the Wizard.
ONLY Chuck touches the Viper.
The ride is real nice too.
It is like a time warp.
Chuck, thanks for everything.

He has done the same thing with me and that is one of the biggest reasons why he has won my business.

Congrats to Chuck Tator.

Doesn´t matter - as long as you can work on the Vipers over here...

FOUR arms would be great!

That would be a great place to live and work...Tyrol.

My first visit to the Wizard was last weekend - easy drive for me as I'm in CT. A great shop - only Chuck will work on the Viper in future. DSI was there too. I learned first-hand what a Corsa exhaust sounds like as I was standing behind his car when he fired it up. Holy s--t, and I still heard you a 1/2 mile away.

I was in Munich last week (actually Ingolstadt where Audi's are built) and had the opportunity (several times) to experience a "Bavarien Beer Garden". So Chuck, may I humbly suggest this as your '03 BBQ theme. I'm fairly confident Markus can advise you on this and it seems like a fair exchange for your Viper know-how. Forget Sturgis II. Think of the culture it will bring to South Salem.

Markus: Very tempting!

Hot Rod,
If we did that next year, everybody would have to stay at my house that night. We could sit around the camp fire and sing songs!
