Default Fred Beans ... Awesome !!!

It would seem that Gene and Jeremy at Fred Beans are fast becoming the bench mark for superior customer service... Call them with the Vin # a few days later, the parts come, their prices are the best, and there is never an issue...and I can't say enough about their Geo parts service too.
Thanks guys !

Going to be calling them soon for some tire pressure sensors. Seems like they have the best prices on them.

Great service! Often the items arrives next day. I live close but it still means the item goes out the day it's ordered.

Hi All,
I would like to express my my utmost thanks to you expressing your thanks. I believe that when someone takes time out of their busy schedule to say thanks, it goes a long way.

I work long and hard to do what I do, but I don't do it just for the financial kickback, it gives me great pleasure to have a following as such and to help people get the best parts for the best prices.

I can say that once in a while, we goof up and don't get things out fast enough, etc. I would say that especially now with the extremely high volume.

Although I do find when we are in these situations that most people are patient and friendly with us.

I thank you all for your patronage, your patience, and most important, your business.

A very big thanks to Evil-Twin, Grumpy and all of you.
Gene.

Gene is the man!

I live in Cali and order my parts from him. Less expensive than my local dealer and a heck of a lot better service!
