Re: FW: Moss Motors

[Dennis and Pat Rainey]

I agree with Mike completely. Moss bashing comes up every once in awhile in just about every LBC group as if it were the thing to do. I, however, believe that all of us need to sing Moss's praises much more often. Without them and some of the other smaller suppliers, we most likely would not be here typing on this subject as there would be very few LBCs around.

Thank you Moss for all that you do. - Dennis L. Rainey TF-1500, TF7157 Albertville , AL

I have only had my TC for the past 5 years, but during that time have made dozens of purchases from Moss. I have been very happy with the quality and the service has been great. They have always shipped the same day and I receive the parts the next day.
I'm sure with a big organization some things will slip through the cracks, but I believe if you call, Moss will listen and work it out.
My experience with the small suppliers has been equally fine.
Without the mg-tabc group, the local club members, my neighbor mechanic, along with Moss and the small suppliers, my TC wouldn't be running like new now.
