What are you talking about? Thats not funny. He's not thinking about retiring is he?

I can't say enough good things about the guy. A true enthusiast. I hope he spends more on his car so that he can retire later.

It would be the end if Ray were to retire. Above all, great guy.

Hands down a awesome, true enthusiast for anything mazda.
Comes through for everything I need, and then some..
I can tell him I need ANYTHING, and he rings the part number right off under his breath like its nothing.

One bad thing though.. He is also my parts manager also, so I see him everyday, which means I constantly buy things for my 88 GXL..

GOOD FOR HIM! not for my paychecks!

Just picked up a bunch of OEM parts for my 93 R1. Great service and got all parts in good packing within 48 hours of calling in the order. Great service! Thanks!

I just ordered some parts from them, and went thru Ray, and yes it was so easy and straightforward it was scary!

And no **** the best Mazda prices! Beat my local dealer by 15-20%!!

Ordered a Mazda key with my parts, Ray asks, "Oh would you like me to cut that as well?" I said hell yeah, gave him my VIN, and now I have a key that works on BOTH sides! I had no idea they could do that!

Yea it's a little scary when he's so fast. He adds the items almost as fast as I describe them. And he knows all the obscure parts that I don't even know the name for. And yes he has the best prices on everything. I've checked every part I've bought from him. Every time, cheaper than mazda, cheaper than mazdatrix, cheaper than mostly everywhere.

Ray is the man. He is not allowed to retire unless he trains up a replacement.

We're really lucky to have Ray. I'm so spoiled that I can just call him and describe a part without needing to check a parts catalog for the proper Mazda part number.

Ray is such an irreplaceable asset.. hands down.

In the Supra community, we had our version of Ray by the name of Curt and I will tell you first hand, it's been nothing but agony since he retired about 3 yrs ago. (Well over 17 yrs of buying Toyota parts). They can finish your sentence when ordering something. P/N are embed etc. Enthusiasts at heart as well so win win !

Another good experience for Ray.
I am first timer ordering parts from Ray and I am very pleased. Goodfella recomended him to me and I thank you for that.

I e-mail Ray for a quote for a set of s2 rx8 fans and Ray replied back same day. I placed my order next day and received my items 3 days later.
It was nice to talked to someone who understand what we want. It was prompt response, trustworthy and efficient.

Thank you sir..
