I used to deal with them a long time ago when they were much smaller. I had mixed experiences. I bought a 2.0 4 banger off of them that was advertised to be a 2.2 professionally assembled, big HP, yada yada yada. It was not as advertised (not even close), but they made up for it by supplying additional parts I needed. I bought other small things too, but as I said, it's been a while (probably 5 years or so).

I have dealt with them on a few occasions and have been there in person. Never had a bad experience but yes the owner has a bit of a Hussey personality. They definitley know the cars, have a very well setup shop and the inventory is extremely well organized and labeld. I wouldn't worry about buying from them at all.

if they can't be nice - they can't be professional (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)
