Tracking, so long as Ray kept his home and influence in Malloy.

^ New sales technique.

Never met a salesperson yet that didn't think the "sale" was about them.
I started a sales business from scratch and retired 20 years later at age 52, so I might have had an idea on how to do it.

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.
Just got some parts from Tasca. Good price and fast, but packaging

Thanks for the feedback. Went with OEMMazdaparts.com for my latest order, but really wish I could have just called Ray.

Thanks for the referral. They're quote close to me so I'll give them a try.

I used oemmazdaparts.com and they were ok but had long fulfillment times. Tole me they had to special order some things.

I recently had good experience with Genuine Mazda Parts & Accessories | shopmazdaparts.com which is Med Center Mazda in AL. I ordered turbo gaskets and injector diffusers so not exactly normal parts and they were in my hands 2 days later. Good pricing too.

Guys, I speak to Ray about three times a week lately, moreso than ever actually.

He's in a holding pattern, but has some things in the hopper.

The Great Raymundo isn't out for the count...... just on a Hiatus. At his age, he's allowed a little break right

Stay tuned

It's another month later, any update?

I've got a couple hundred dollar order to make, and I'd rather send it his way!

Lmao, keep them coming..... I'll show Big Raymundo this thread and he'll be dying.

Here's what he told me the other day:

"Tell 'em to get their orders ready Rich, I'm comin' back and IN A BIG WAY"

Anyone who knows Ray can just hear him saying that
