Ray Crowe is the man
 

He's probably getting sick of hearing it, but he's good. Ordered a set of pillow ball bushings from him, got them in BLAZING fast time, and he even threw a little extra hardware that I needed in there. WAY beyond the call of duty. The economy would be an order of magnitude more efficient if everyone had his attitude about service.

Thanks Ray.

yes, ray crowe is the shiznats

I got the same great service, price, and speed of delivery. :bigok:

:withstupi the man really knows his sh*t. i love the fact that he knows the cars inside and out and when you can't find a part number, he seems to know it off the top of his head. whats even better is he gets things for you, even when he doesn't have them instock, faster than most people that stock them can... and still at a better price!

^^^ditto :bluesuit:

I don't know what we'd without Ray. Once he retires, it'll be back to looking up part #s and dealing with parts counter retards.....

:rlaugh: you just exactly described all the people ive dealt with at local dealership part centers.

I fail!

How can i order without calling him? Does he have a website? Maybe he doesent ship overseas?

He works at a dealership, i don't think he's got a website. He'll probably ship overseas though. i guess.

What is the going rate on pillowballs nowadays?

No kidding on the parts counter guys. The last time I picked up some spark plugs the guy said "i'm glad you know what you need because i sure don't." Darn 12 year old sports car.

Ahh, ok. Im to chicken to call with my english.

"Ehh... Öhh... hi... Sweden calling..." lol :rlaugh: :MissileSm

I doubt Ray could beat your prices at home, with shipping. Sweden is what, just West of Iowa?

He ships internationally. You can email him at hmkparts@aol.com

Everything for the FD is ultraexpensive here in Sweden. They only sold 5 cars here so im lucky if they know what car im talking about. "Rotary? Never heard of it..." :wallbash:

Thanks for the address Goodfella.

Ray for President

anyone know if he accepts paypal..

No paypal. c/c's are my weapon of choice when dealing with ray :)

Yes he is the man! I deal with him on a weekly/almost daily basis and he always comes through for me. And yes I feel what everyone is saying about when he retires, because his knowledge of third gen parts is the BEST in the bizz!

If Ray steps down I think Tracy will step up as the new 3rd gen quasi-guru. I have the pivilege of knowing the Malloy crew personally because I only live 30 mins away (when I'm in the US). I can tell you that they are as nice in person as they are over the phone. And Rich, I heard Tracy had the hots for you....

(starting rumors...)

^^ uhh ohh!!!! rich and tracy sitting in a.......never mind....

I wonder how many times Ray's won "Mazda Parts Salesman of the Year"? Malloy got lucky in finding him. :)

Nah, I heard Kelly wanted to take a ride on my pony :ky:

nah, Kelly's my girl. Back off sucka.

yeah, no kidding! it'd be fun to see how his sales compare to others'...

My 2 cents.
 

I concur with my fellow FD owners....Ray IS the man. Thanks again Ray.
