Default Bennett Auto - some good guys!

Big thanks to Bennett Auto Supply! I was out by the beach in when my driver side window motor decided to die 1/2 way down! As I am fiddling with it attempting to get the window back up I realize it's about to rain!! So I race down the street to Bennett where not only did they have the window motor in stock, but they gave me the tools to fix it! The guys from Bennett were even kind enough to hold umbrellas over me to keep me dry!! THANKS BENNETT!!!!

Just some good guys!

Glad to hear they came through for you! Seems like every time I call Bennett looking for parts they go above and beyond for me! Only parts from Bennett will go in my car, especially when they deliver it to me for free!

Heck yea i did. I spoke with Tim and James and they're AWESOME. They're fairly priced, honest, and extremely thorough. I think they're really passionate about what they do and enjoy it. I can't express how much I appreciate every little step they took. They actually know what a window motor is!
These guys really do go the extra mile and I will definitely be getting parts from them from now on. They even threw in a shop rag so i can clean up after the job was done. Awesome guys, fantastic experience, and they're great to shoot the **** with! A+

Yes I'm pretty sure any window motor from napa or advance is almost or over 100$ but I believe bennet has the regulator already rivited onto the motor for less than 100$?

Since i did it in the parking lot they offered them to me. Not sure how they are with new customers but they did mention to me that "we want customers for life, not just a few days". To me it sounds like they are willing to work with people!

Did they have any specials while you were there? I'm guessing they have a bunch.
