A Story of Service, Passion, And Automotive Excellence

F

ounded by Troy and Laura
Martinson, the R/T Garage in
Belle Plaine, Minnesota, is a
Mopar muscle car restorationand-repair shop specializing in
concourse, performance and pro touring.
With a keen eye for excellence and a
high standard of service, clients who
choose to visit Troy and Laura never leave
dissatisfied with the work and know that
everything that can be done will be done.
Troy and Laura have similar histories,
both of which stretch back decades to
the time they were children (though they
did not know each other at the time). At
the age of ten, Troy fell in love with the
Dukes of Hazzard television show. He
cultivated the dream of owning a 1969
Dodge Charger, and by the time he was
fifteen, he was finally able to scrape
together enough money to purchase one
in 1984. Laura grew up in a family of
boys. Her father’s love of sports cars was
passed along to Laura and her brothers.
In particular, Laura’s brothers had a
keen interest in muscle cars growing up.
Being the 1970s, there was no shortage of

muscle cars to be interested in, either.
Working in restoration and NHRA drag
racing for over thirty years, Troy then
met Laura, and they knew they had found
a match with each other. They chose to
strike out on their own and start the R/T
Garage to serve as a base for their shared
passion in life. Since then, it has grown
to become one of the most well-known
garages in the muscle car community, not
only for the service that they provide but
also because of their collection of vehicles.
One of their many accomplishments
is the invention of the REV-N-NATOR.
Voted as the best aftermarket product of
2012, the REV-N-NATOR was created
in an effort to solve the issue of many
1960s–1980s vehicles not having a rev
limiter. The REV-N-NATOR fills that
niche and acts as a Mopar-specific ICU
for cars from that time period. It protects
the motor from over-revving. It bolts in
using original equipment and does not
require any additional wires or boxes.
Seven different rpm limits are available,
from a 3,000 rpm test all the way up to

7,500 rpm. The settings can be changed
with the simple touch of a button and are
displayed using LED lights (which double
as a digital tachometer).
The REV-N-NATOR comes with its
own list of “commandments” that
characterize it and set it apart: true boltin and correct stock appearing, easy-touse rev limiter, LED display with digital
tachometer, 10HP–40HP gains, built-in
flywheel, custom dwell curve, powdercoated surface, made in the United States,
three-year warranty, and money-back
guarantee.
Ultimately, Troy and Laura aim to
provide the very best service that anyone
can get. Their goal is to do the best they
can for every customer that comes into
the doors of the R/T Garage. Given
that level of service, it should come as
no surprise that they have no shortage
of work. When you work with the R/T
Garage, you can be assured that you will
get the best service and parts that money
can buy. Done right the first time, every
time. Contact them at 952-356-4969! +
