I have my 93 VR FD in the body shop getting work done from the a-hole who backed up his GMC Denali (license plate "SZEMATERS") on top of it.

Anyway, it's been in the shop for over a month, I called and they said they found more damage when they tore it apart. They said they have the parts ordered, but they are backordered. I asked how long, and they said "who knows it could be months". They said they did a "nationwide search" and no Mazda dealers in the US had the parts.

So, I called Malloy Mazda, and bingo, they had the parts in stock. Now my car is fixed thanks to Ray and the guys at Malloy.

 

yes, those guys are the s*&t !!!! Even if they don't have a part in stock, they will get it in a matter of days.

 

Ray is one HELLVA guy and that' s a FACT

 

Ray is the MAN. And kudos to all the fine folk at Malloy Mazda. They definitely are a major part of "keeping them on the road".

Kind of like Victoria British is for English sports cars. You just HAVE to have these sort of places.

 

I've run into the same situation a while back on another vehicle. Their "nationwide search" only means they called a few distributors that they deal with on a regular basis. And it seems their contacts are always slow as hell.

Malloy can get you pretty much anything, and have it on your doorstep in a matter of days. You pay a price for it, but the cost of waiting months from someone else is not worth saving a couple pennies!!!!

 

ray crowe kicks ***

 

+1,000,000 on RC

 

Not really, Malloy has always been cheaper then any other dealer when I talked to Ray himself and ordered parts.

 

+1

Ray knows his stuff...fast and friendly to work with. Service is great. Shipping is very cheap and if not, free shipping depending on item. Get in 2-4 days for me.

 

Bump for Ray, his contact info should be stickied.

 

Should also be in everyone's cel phone...heh, just messin' with ya. 888-533-3400

 

Ha you may be just kidding but i got rays number in my cell phone thats for sure. Great guy and I dont know what Spandy is talking about with the club discount malloy is always cheaper then any where else ive found.

 

He is on my cell phone! Dont leave home without the number.

Their isnt anybody in the Mazda parts network that is more knowledgeable, more service oriented, or has better pricing than Malloys Ray Crowe. He has bent over backwords to work with me for all my parts needs.

I make it a point to tell him how much I appreciate how awesome his service is on a regular basis.

Thanks Ray!!!! U da man!

-chuck

ps - I sent him the link for this thread

 

He also can pound back a cold one with the best of them

 

I have had him on speed dial in my phone for some time now. #2, right after voicemail... right before my girlfriend. she took offense to that.. untill she looked at the reciepts from malloy and realized how much money he has saved me and how many headaches too. Besides, the FD and her are a threesome she can handle.

and as for Ray Crwoe being the shiznit..

Duh!

 

I have his number written on the wall in my garage. I laugh at some of the prices the big local Mazda dealership. Plus you don't have to deal with the people at the parts desk there. Ray knows what you need even if you don't know the exact part number. Dealerships around here are clueless to the FD.

 

+1 We couldn't afford to maintain this car without Ray.

 

Ray rocks, got me an FC thermoswitch in 1 day for about half of "list price". He must be mazda parts salesman of the year with all the money FD owners spend with him.

 

so true...talked to him 3 times in the last 2 weeks...usually get everything in 2 days....
if he lived closer i would buy him all the beer he could drink...

also in my cell phone...right next to the tow company...

Yup !!

Ray is a great guy to deal with. Great prices and service! I've ordered a lot of stuff from him.

When I got my replacement (Mazda reman) water pump from him last winter, the first one I got had been very heavily pitted from corrosion and was sandblasted within an inch of it's life. It looked like it might have been so rough that the shaft seal might not seal to the housing. I called Ray, and he sent me another one (turned out to be in much better condition) and an RGA UPS label to send the other one back, so all this cost me nothing except for a little delay.

Try getting that service from any other dealer!
