I ordered a power bleeder from here. I had never heard of this site and decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did! The price was good and they shipped out fast.

Small holdup with shipping, however the great customer service team promptly corrected the issue and the item was received 3 days after. Product was exactly as described. Great company, great prices, great customer service. Will definitly do business with in the future.

Quick and easy

Good price

the prices were great lowest i found on the net and the shipping is fast

Good products at a good price!<br>Never bought from them before, so I used Google Checkout, I always get nervous about buying from a new online store, but they came through just fine.<br>Shipping was a little expensive for the product I purchased and the shipping time, but was still cheaper than most anywhere else.<br>$12 to ship an automotive gauge [>2 lbs] and it was a 5 day ship.<br>Otherwise, a very good experience, B+ to A- just because of shipping cost/time.

good quick simple...

Very happy with their service. The product was at a great price and was shipped very quickly. Will buy from them again.
