Ray Crowe is back in action and taking orders!!

Understand Malloy is no longer, so being an FC guy, original owner S5 TII, just thought I'd post
over here that I've used Tascsa Parts for the last year or so, less expensive than Malloy and fast
shipping of OEM parts.
They don't list all the small items, but I use the Mazda on line parts catalog, retrieve the part number,
place it into the Tasca site, then after the part appears, place it in the cart.

Genuine Factory OEM Parts & Accessories | TascaParts.com

Not affiliated in any way to the above, just though I'd give another outlet for parts.

Cool

Very sad to hear about Malloy.
I have used multiple times with great success and also slightly cheaper than Malloy, Mazda-Parts.com.
They have the same OEM parts catalog and uses original parts number for search.
They ship for $12.95 most things and have great communication.

Don't sweat it guys, I've known about this for some time--- it wasn't a surprise to Ray.


He's keeping in touch with me and I'll keep everyone updated.


I can't say much right now, but we have nothing to be worried about

I found out when I stopped by there a few weeks ago, I'm
glad I was able to get my order in with Ray at that time!
I'm looking forward to how things are worked out!

Sounds like Ray will be OK. Googling around, it looks like that dealership just up and closed. Is that the case?

I got my last order from Ray last week!

The contract Malloy had with Mazda expired. Don't worry, Ray will be able to supply parts once he has a new contract with another dealership or another avenue.

Malloy Automall (Mazda was just one of their dealerships) is still around. I called them after getting home last night and the lady confirmed that Malloy Mazda was no more.

Apparently Ray is still in and doing parts stuff though, I don't know if he's just there to sell off remaining stock, or of they can/will still order stuff.

I was driving back north on Black Friday and took a detour past Malloy Mazda (95 was at a stand still, go figure, and Rt. 1 was open) and was surprised to see that the location was empty of cars. HOWEVER, the parking lot was also getting repaved, which is a REALLY GOOD thing!! The pavement in that lot was royally fucked

Hopefully its just a temporary close for upgrades, its pretty common to see the "Malloy" license plate holders around here, so I don't think they're hurting in sales too badly..

There's a Mazda dealer just 1 mile from my house (that I never go to) that Ray could relocate to. Then I'd go there.

FYI both Atkins and Mazdatrix have a pretty good stock of FD parts. Prices aren't as good as Ray's but at least there are options in the meantime.

Quirkparts.com seems to be about the same price as Malloy's when I compared the

parts I bought from Malloy to Quirkparts.com's price

Keep in mind you're getting much more from Ray than just cheap parts guys.

Not pointing this at any one person in particular, but allow me to get up on my Soapbox:

It seems like in today's day and age, all that many people care about is 'Low Price.' They don't care about service, knowledge, dependability, quickness of delivery, establishing a relationship with a trusted advisor. To me this is all very valuable.

I think personally that 'Low Price' as the Number 1 buying decision is dangerous. I've had many people over the years come to me for all sorts of advice regarding mods and parts, then buy elsewhere in order to save a buck. To me, that is complete horseshit, and I've changed the way I deal with people accordingly. I value my time very much, and have learned not to waste it on those who don't value my time as much as I do.

Case in point, I've seen Tasca advertising No Longer Available parts one ebay so I decided to give them a try.

First part (a large interior part), they sent me THREE damaged parts. Not damaged in shipping---- sent to me damaged. THREE parts over six weeks that I had to take time out of my day (my limited free time) to repackage and go to UPS to ship back to them.

Second part they ended up refunding me because evidently it really was No Longer Available.

This is one huge reason why Facebook and all of the 'RX-7 parts' groups can't compete with this forum in any way shape or form.

I'll stick with Mr. Ray Crowe once he's back in the game, and in the meantime Atkins and Mazdatrix are certainly great options.

This is my opinion guys. That's all, just my 2 cents
