I too called up today, was told by James that someone would call me back in 5-10 minutes to take my order,( I'm thinking yea sure, this Fred guy has gotten too big for his britches, who will call me) about 6 minutes later I get a call from Fred, I could tell he was very busy, phones ringing in the background, someone asking him questions, but the whole time I was talking to him he never tried to rush me,my order was not very big but I could tell he was concerned that I get the correct items, a very unstressful buying experience.
It was a pleasure placing my order from you Fred, and I appreciated your input on the gauges I was ordering.

Thanks,
Caleb

From what I've seen, you are getting plenty of parts in red labeled boxes. :)

So if you get put "on hold" do you hear music, or a recording of the Burger King menu.....:D :D :D :D

Fred is the best thing to happen to aftermarket parts since, well aftermarket parts. Rock on Fred.

My 22 year old son is moving to SC to go to work for Fred in two weeks

Hey Fred, my son needs $200,000 a year so I can retire and he can afford to take care of the old man

I figure if you bump up the prices 2% and transfer that increase to my boy then we will be set

can ya get this handled right away???

I promice to spend some of the money at burger king in the morning while i sit around and annoy the help cause i wont have anything else to do

I also will buy some parts (putting money back in the bussines) cause with that money my son will get we will be able to outfit a nice boat

Look out Fred here comes Boatme Jr. :D :eek: :evilb:

All that noise in the background is a tape. It automatically starts playing when he picks up the phone. It is a compilation of hours of burger king drive through orders, telephones and homeless people yelling to make it appear as if the place is really that big.

I bought a couple sets of Stainless Marine exhaust from him. Great guy to talk to, easy to do business with, great prices. I will buy from him again.
