Default Fred Beans parts

Can you order parts from Fred Bean's by telephone or must you order only by email? I sent them an email requesting a price on a C5 part several days ago but no rsponse -- that's why I asked if you could order by phone? I want to get the max CF discount.

Thanks,
Dave K.

Yes, you can order by phone. I did it that way when I ordered my tire pressure sensors.

though ordering by phone doesn't guarantee you a response either
happened to me. talked to them directly, they were very short, apparently didn't understand what i was trying to buy (very simple stuff) and proceeded to "forget" about my order. took my business elsewhere....i should've know to stick with Fichtner Chev

Hi All,
Yes, you can give us a call. The max discount is the same on the site as it is on the phone.

We're in the middle of a transitional period and a re-organization and we have some new people who are going to be there taking over our old jobs running the parts department for the dealership, so you must talk to myself or Jeremy. At times right now, we may have to call you back.

Thanks,
Gene

I talked to Gene on Monday and ordered some parts, and got them today (Wednesday) He was very helpful and pleasant, and I highly recommend them. Thanks for your help Gene.

My son just blew the engine in his Trans Am and was going to rebuild the LS1...Instead he bought a new LS6 from Fred Beans...the price was excellent and he is very pleased he went that route.

Attached are the results. The engine is 100% stock with the exception of a K&N air filter and ear ringing Borla's.
