Default real customer focus - LME

After a billion questions, I recently ordered a 370 iron block from LME. I was told the engine would be ready in about 3-4 weeks. For those of you that don't know, LME is located in Houston, TX. I've been tracking Hurricane Rita since it was by Florida, and I was not remotely concerned with the delays this would cause at LME. Today, I got a message from Bryan at LME telling me that they have made the necessary preparations at the shop and hope to re-open sometime next week.

After going through these storms myself, I know how stressful it can be. And the fact that these guys took the time to update me on my motor, the same day the storm is supposed to make landfall, is amazing to me. At this point, the last of my concerns is my motor getting to me on time. So those looking for a reputable shop, hit up LME...these guys have been great so far.

Kudos to the guys at LME for taking the time, and I wish all in Rita's path the best of luck. Be safe.

Thanks for all the good words guys. We really dodged the bullet on this one. I hope every one in Houston and LA. made it through ok. I'm originally from NY and this was my first evacuation.. Defiantly something I don't want to deal with again any time soon.

LME is back to building motors so feel free to call or stop buy.

Again thanks for all your prayers.

Sincerely,
Bryan Neelen
