Thanks for all the great service Phil!

Anyone else just read the bulletin that Phil is retiring?! Gotta say big thanks for the best site on the web, always good service and communication. Best wishes on what lies ahead Phil, and good luck to Lee!

Phil,

Without your insights and knowledge my car would not be running today.
Thank you for the years you have given us! Thank you for being there and helping us out.

We will miss you!

Enjoy your retirement!

Joe

Phil went out of his way to help me with broken aftermarket AC compressor brackets to no profit of his own when the kid hit a big rock in the road . I can't say how much I appreciated that. He was able to inform me that my AC was not factory, something I didn't know, and put me in touch with some great parts guys in Ca.He's helped with orders and prices and silly newbie questions. I sincerely hope he can be replaced and wish him well in his retirement.
Thanks Phil!

Phil ALWAYS knew me and made time to chat for a bit whenever I had a parts question. He's been a great asset to this organization.

Best of luck in your retirement!

BTW, if you think retirement is easy street, you probably need to stay at Fastlane. I work my butt off almost everyday!!


Take care!
R Leo
