Default Kudos For Gary Gruhala

Found out late yesterday evening that my left rear wheel bearing was actually melted to the spindle and Ken ( my mechanic ) is torching it off as we speak. Anyway, began calling around and MA had a good deal ( $150 ) but was short on stock = delay. Riks - same price but never dealt with them so declined. To make this short, at 9 PM I called Gary Gruhala and he sold me a practically new, as he described it, spindle for $75 + shipping. Maybe I could have got it cheaper but don't think I could have matched the customer service and total friendly attitude from Gary.

If you are looking for parts, give Gary a call. I think you will be very pleasantly surprised and satisfied.

Gary - THANKS if you read this!

I couldn't agree with you more. Gary has helped me out so much in the past. Not only does he have the parts, but he is so willing to talk to you and make recommendations, troubleshoot, and do whatever he can to make it as easy on your wallet as possible.

He is a great guy. I highly recommend him
