Dave is one of the best vendors here. I ordered many parts from him and received the parts a few days later with the tracking #'s sent to me the same day! For example, ordered a set of Rota Torques on the 15th of april and receiving them on the 19th, WOOT!

For Oakos!

I must agree with everyone else here, Dave Oakos Automotive is an awesome vendor. The best thing is is that he is located about 10 minutes from where I live and I was very impressed with the way he runs his business. I will definitely be going to him for future mods.

Just saw this bounce to the top of the new posts list, and have to add my 2 cents.

A month or so ago, Dave posted about the release of their new Oakos Automotive downpipe, and I had a lot of questions. Dave answered all of them quickly, and knowledgeably, so that even I could understand.

I placed my order, and the downpipe arrived just a few days later, complete with PEP CEL eliminator, and free shipping. The downpipe installed easily, and sealed up tight (using a Crucial Racing Systems gasket that came with the uppipe.) One great feature of this downpipe, is that it has the OEM style bracket for mounting to the transmission, and the OEM top heat shield fits back on without any trimming.

Now I get the benefit of a downpipe, and still have my third cat for emissions checking.

Thanks Dave! Oakos will be one of the first places I look for future purchases.

not only did they have the best prices i could find, but when i called them i actually got to talk to a person and not a machine

.
and my shipping confirmation email was from the guy i talked to (david) and was handwritten (dont see that anymore). not to mention that UPS says my hoses will be here a day before theyre supposed to *crosses fingers*

I do believe they will be who i order future parts from...

They usally always ship out the same day you order it!

I orderd brake pads from them at good prices..

Also got my rims from them, 2-3 days the were here!y

Were very accomodating with shipping and the wheels I ordered arrived here as/when promised, and they are in perfect condition.

I'd highly recommend Oakos.

edsmith42 · 09-23-2004, 07:06 AM

Yeah, the delivery from Oakos is getting so fast it's ridiculous! I'm expecting to start getting packages before I order them!

***Trainrex*** · 10-08-2004, 02:16 PM

Is tEh wiN!!!! Great customer service, great prices, fast processing and shipping, and does not try to make money on shipping!!! What else could you ask for? I will definately do business with again. Out of a possible 5 wiggles, I give them.....

edsmith42 · 10-11-2004, 07:53 AM

No doubt. They have accurate stocking info on their website which is awesome since I always seem to wait till the last second to order a part.
