96000, Parts Dinosaur Service
Posted by jam013200, Jan-26-06 01:05 PM
I just wanted to let anyone thinking of purchasing engine parts or simple maintenance stuff to think of Parts Dinosaur (www.partsdinosaur.com).

I purchased all my engine rebuild stuff from Bruce back in December and have been slowly working on my rebuild when time permits.

I recently had a problem with one of the items I ordered and quickly emailed Bruce regarding the issue. Within 30 minutes I got a response from him that he would ship out a new part that day. Can you believe almost instant response to my problem? I wish all online vendors did business like Bruce from Parts Dinosaur. The previous parts I ordered were all correct and came nicely packaged, Bruce even responded quickly to my questions regarding particular items I needed.

Just thought I would pass this along to anyone considering purchasing parts for their motors. Its not too often I see over the top service from online vendors.

**Sorry moderator if this is not a proper post for this particular forum but I wasn't sure if I should post this in the review section since it is not about one particular part.**

I'm ordering the timing kit from him either tomorrow or saturday.

Still not much word on how well the mechanical tensioners are though.

Rock on. Bruce is a good guy. When it comes time to rebuild my new daily driver, I'll be contacting him for pretty much everything I need. :thumbsup

great!

I emailed him last night and there was an email waiting for me today when I woke up.

I'll definitely be ordering that kit from him later today or tomorrow.

I agree with everything above. He definately makes customer service a priority. Everything is shipped quickly and I've never received the wrong product. It's an old-school kind of vibe from him, like he'll personally write you a "thanks for your business! -Bruce" on your receipt. I recommend him as one of the best vendors for 2gnt parts
