ditto. I don't get it either. :roll: (though I usually refer to him as "Mark", or "SoCal Mark".... as I always forget "Allison's Automotive". :wink:

I agree with you guys and I have referred to this "Mark" in much earlier posts. Hands down, with all of the help I have received from this post, Mark was there when ever I needed him. I am getting ready to install his header/exhaust system that I bought from him about a year ago and I lost the the directions. Shot him an email last Sunday night and the very next day he sent me an email with the instructions.

He has also helped me out with used parts. I think people would be pleasantly surprised if they gave Mark an opportunity!

May be they think he is just a specialty shop :?:

Wait a minute guys. Be careful when you say "never". Mark does get mentioned as a supplier
(see post; http://www.fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic ... get#p21626)
Just not often enough.

I'm guilty of this! Sorry Mark. I thought your business was mainly a repair facility with some specialty items, not a parts supplier. Am I wrong?

Didnt mean to throw a spark into the grass. And I didnt mean never, just most of the time. Just trying to point out something I think is overlooked ALOT. off topic Todays game is pointless, who cares who wins. the food and drink are all that matters today.

Don't worry about throwing a spark in the grass Rey, everything is too wet to burn anyway. :wink:

Hi, it's been a while but now starting to get into the restoration with my son. We have a question about parts suppliers. We know about Vicks and IAP, but what about Bruce's Parts Bin and The Parts Warehouse? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

I've used Bruce's, his warehouse is near me. He's fine, his catalogue is a little out of date but he answers emails quickly and efficiently. Fast shipper too.

I've also bought from Bruces and he was great. He had a fuel sending unit when every other supplier was out of them and I will use him again. As Tony said, fast shipper and good communication but he needs to find a good web site developer to re-do his website.

Thanks for the info. It looks like his prices are a little lower too!
