Default Know Bill Hodel?

I’m about to send some money to Bill Hodel for a for a part. Does anybody know Bill or has anybody had any dealings with him? Can anybody besides his mom vouch for him?

Mike,

I have used Bill's services (A.I.R. systems) for many cars including all four that I own now. His work and parts are outstanding. I know of many other people who have done business with Bill and have had the same results as I have.

I doubt that you'll have any problems with Bill... He's a very knowledgeable and stand up guy from my experience.

And for the record, no, I am not related to Bill in any way... :)

Regards,

Very reputable guy. Excellent with smog systems. Besides, I know where he lives. No worries about getting ripped off.

Terrific guy. Been around a LONG time. Does beautiful work, and sells the "correct" stuff. Bought my 69 smog system from him. Chuck

I have personally dealt with him on parts for my 72 AIR setup and so had my neighbor with his 73 setup. Top notch fellow for parts or repairs on the AIR system. NCRS member who only deals in AIR. Honest and genuine.
