Who is Phil and what does he sell?
I keep running across his name in various threads, but I can't seem to find him as a user.
Looking to get my hands on some motor mounts, center carrier bearing and mount.

Phil was the sales guy for Peach Parts before they were acquired by Pelican Parts.
Phil passed away in 2012. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/general-feedback/331317-memoriam-phil-reinhardt-1951-2012-a.html

Phil was well loved and respected here on the forum. Great guy, always helpful, personable and always steady and level headed. Gone too soon.

Everyday and in every way I am more and more appreciative of Phil's outstanding sales and customer service support. Great customer service is non-existent with good customer service becoming more difficult to locate as most car parts counters nowadays are staffed by monkeys and orangutans. We miss you Phil!!!!

There is no help buying parts here on the forum, like when Phil was here. He would go the extra mile to find a part that was not listed in the catalog. He was a Mercedes guy, and when he had time, he would talk about these cars with you. He was very compassionate about what he did.
I always wanted to meet him. RIP Phil.  Charlie

I would sometimes receive parts the NEXT day. Rarely did it ever take more than 4-5 days to get parts when I ordered them from Phil. While I greatly appreciate this forum, the customer service is terrible and is no better than any other web site that sells parts. The last time I spoke to a PP sales rep. was the last time. They couldn't be bothered to look beyond what came up on their monitor.

I was ordering something off Pelican. called and talked to a guy about the part etc... asked if he was a Mercedes guy, NO, I have BMW`s. so he really didn`t have a clue about what ever I was asking. seems he only knew what was on his monitor. What I picked up is, these guys work out of their homes and just answer the phone etc... Charlie

Having worked at Napa before...my experience was very positive. Very knowledgable staff and decent parts for aftermarket. I still go there if given the choice of stores, unfortunately it is far from the most convenient for me (advance is 2mins down the road).
