Malloy Mazda, Ray Crowe

It has been said before but after ordering from him this morning I have to say this guy and his prices KICK ***, definitely a service to the RX7 community.

888-533-3400 Malloy Mazda
ask for Ray Crowe.


Local stealership wanted $57 + tax and it would be in by Tuesday (today being Friday).

Malloy had the same part for $34 + 5 shipping for Tuesday ETA, OR Overnighted to me to get here on Saturday for $60 OUT THE DOOR.

Easy to deal with and the prices are out of this world, I am very happy. Thanks Ray.

Ray's prices are very good - always a good deal under Mazda retail. He also stocks a huge number of FD parts. And he has half of the part numbers memorized.

Some of my local Mazda dealers charge full retail, and the others actually charge MORE. Of course, they stock nothing.

Yea, I've ordered from Ray several times, and he is very short and to the point, knowledgable and offers a great deal. I've ordered parts countless times and received them earlier than expected.

I just ordered the Pillowball bushings + Dustcap from Ray for $360(under Wanklin's GB). Ray was really easy to talk to, and he didn't ignore me just because I am in Canada~ What would we do without him?

Ray is very slightly more than through the Mazda Motorsports program.

However, if you are on the East Coast, Ray 99.9% of the time has it in stock and can get it to you sooner, including Saturday delivery.

I can purchase from both, but when I need it in a hurry, it's Ray and his team all the time!

Ray is a cool dude. Every price quote he has shot me has been lower than the Mazda Dealership, and he even offered me free shipping on certain parts.

Heck ya, when I had 2 days to install the R1 oil cooler before going to the track and needed a hose, the closest dealership that had it in stock was in Ohio and wanted $250 for the part that Ray got to me the next day for $70!

Yes, Rays a great guy who also happens to own a 3rd gen so when you call him asking for a 3rd gen parts he knows what you're talking about not like when i go to my local dealer and they look at me like i'm an alien when i ask for rx7 parts.lol

I have never had a bad experence with Ray. I went to the local madza dealership in my fd and the head sales man asked me if my car had a 4 or six banger in it! I laughed at him and told him not to touch my car and take me to the parts department. they looked at me like a confused dog when I asked for a oil sender for a 93 fd and a radiator cap. they said the warehouse in michagen had the parts but it would take two weeks and cost over 250 bucks! needless to say I have never been back and I refuse to do any sort of buisness with them. Ray and his staff have always been the most helpful and honest folks I've ever done buisness with. Ray know's his stuff inside and out.

Ray is not only good with the FD but also 1st and 2nd gens as well. He has always been able to come up with the part no matter which gen I needed parts for. His prices are great but there is something I like even better. If he needs to research something he will call you back.....and he WILL call you back! He has helped a lot of people from our local RX-7 club. Thanks Ray we appreciate it.
