The only way I could get Doug to respond or anyone else for that matter was when I went to their Facebook page and gave them a unfavorable review. A local automotive upholstery shop near me had the...

Re: SMS Auto Fabrics
Sounds like nothing has changed with SMS. They’ll lie and avoid you like the plague once they have your money.

Re: Water Pump
I sent you a PM, we could maybe meet up in Greensburg. I go out there to Rural King about once a month. This week isn’t looking good with the snow they are predicting.

Re: Sourcing Lebaron Bonney parts
SMS was the worse vendor I’ve ever dealt with, I would do without before I would deal with them again. I won’t go into detail but avoid at all cost.
