Joe and Gaynelle are awesome. I buy parts from them often and they can "occasionally" help out on pricing. I don't mind having to pay a few dollars more and know that I can return it if it doesn't fit. Some online parts shops will only allow returns with a VIN. With the project I have been working on, there have been some parts I wasn't quite sure on and they did their best to help me out.
I've had the same problem with some common parts not being in stock. Overall they do a great job and I always get the right parts.
