I retired from the Automotive Industry after about 25 years, so I know my way around service shops and businesses. I spoke with Bill, the owner of this company yesterday. Wow, what a decent and knowledgeable person. I only wish I lived in California, so I could meet him in person.
The only place to go to get my classic car brake shoes and clutch discs re-lined! With all of the brake shoes now being made overseas, it is great to get a quality brake shoe made here with about a 24 hour turn around time!
Love these people. When it comes to friction parts, they are just the best. Many times FM is a Savior of old equipment... If you can't find it they would reline my old parts! Crane and winch frictions, transmissions/clutches, Brakes... Great to see them in their new location.
They don’t make em like they used to. This place is a diamond in the rough. Top notch customer service. Pricing that Can’t be beat. And super quick turn around time. Family business. Can’t say enough good things about this place. I will give them,and send them as much business as I can. Thanks guys.
Great service...they always come thru...got a set of shoes relined for my 1940 Chevy and see for yourself. I'll keep coming back
