List,

I cannot believe that anyone could have any beef with PJ Grady. Rob's help 
and expertise has been nothing but top-notch cream-of-the-crop. I have only 
had my DeLorean for a year and he is quite an expert when it comes to 
problems with the car. the same thing goes for DMCJoe. i remember earlier 
this spring i called Rob up on a Saturday and even though he wasn't actually 
open, he still helped me diagnose a poor cold start condition. i think i 
called him back about 10 times that day and every time he gladly explained 
testing procedures to me until i had my problem figured out. equally as 
helpful is DMCJoe. i bet i call Joe at least once every couple of weeks for 
some technical advice, and he is always right there for me, always willing to 
lend a hand over the phone. to repay these guys for their 110% commitment to 
helping me keep my car on the road, i try to buy parts from both places 
equally. that way i give back to them what they give back to me.

as for D-1 - i have never tried to get parts or help from them. i never will 
based on the horror stories i have heard. they have lost a potential 
customer.

as for DMCHouston - i buy a part here and there, but i find PJ Grady and 
DMCJoe to be of the most help to me when i need it (usually immediately) so i 
return the favor by primarily purchasing parts thru them. however, i have 
never had a negative experience with Houston. 

as long as Grady and Joe continue to do business in the same friendly, 
professional manner that they do it now - i am lifelong customers to them, 
and they are the first places i recommend to other owners.
