Default Gary Gruhala

I've heard a lot of good things about Gary Gruhala on this forum, so 24-36 hours ago I e-mailed him looking for a hard to find part.
Today I received a reply form Gary that he has the part I need and at a fair price.
It is a pleasure to find good vendors who make this hobby so much more enjoyable.

Gary had a core support that was an NOS GM one for my 1980. He was $50 cheaper than the vendors I called before he e-mailed me himself and told me he had one and what he'd sell it for. Can't beat his service!!!

I am lucky. Gary lives about 30 miles from me and I drive up to see him. He is a first class person. Very friendly and one of the most honest people I know of. I couldnt recommend him enough. :chevy

I'm another Gary fan. I believe that he used to work in the factory and knows a lot about how these cars went together. Every purchase I've made from him has been a good experience. Thanks Gary.

When I dealt with him I WAS NOT HAPPY...Look I expect high prices, bad customer service, and parts that need to be returned several times(to train the idiots in the parts/shipping departments) Honestly I have never bought anything from him, but when I was looking for a 68 auto frame he answered my e-mail very fast and even offered a number for a friend who had what I was looking for...I didn't end up needing the frame but what a class act!!!!! :cheers:
