Tom@CrateEngineDepot

I would like to give another wonderful shout out to CrateEngineDepot. I don't think I've ever seen a negative review. Their customer service is beyond that of most Companies. It is 10:20pm on Saturday and Tom is still replying to my e-mails. I haven't even gotten the order but I doubt I'll have any complaints. I will continue to use them as my OEM replacement "go-to" people. Keep up the amazing work guys!

McDuffie, John David H.

I keep reading all these bad reviews of other vendors. Glad I am putting up something that is has a +1. It's always nice to see a good review.

a few months back in Oct 12' - I ordered the intake flange from CED, but not realizing (senior moment - lol) the flange was for the 2.2 and i was looking for a 2.0 (LNF) at the time.. got the flange in 4 days, and I sent Tom an email about the mix up and he was happy to take care of it..
just want to say thanks - Tom for helping out.

I agree!!

CED is my #1 vendor of choice. Tom always gets the parts I need, even if they arent listed on the site.

I agree with everyone too. If they don't have the part in stock, chances are they will have it in their hands in a day or two and will have it to your doorstep almost as quickly! Items always take a few weeks to a few months to get shipped to where I live, however anytime I have ordered anything from Tom, it reaches me in record time. I always go with Tom and recommend CED to friends & family because they are a fantastic group of people and their customer service is surpased by no one. We need more companies who think and act like CED, and more people as friendly and nice as Tom.
