Beware of Northwest Speed Equipment

ooooooo..... can we say scarface anybody?....... i like all this drama, its really entertaining. im definately gonna keep an eye on this thread.

I am very happy to report that I received my parts from Marty. We traded a few Emails and phone calls to get things straightened out.

My parts arrived by UPS this afternoon in a very well packaged and wrapped 96 pound box. The parts arrived in the condition I expected and complete. I asked Marty to include the ground body bolts that attach the A arms to the frame, which he did.

All in all, I am very happy and satisfied. He even spent more on the shipping than he had originally requested. I offered to pay him the difference, which he refused to accept my offer.

I know there have been some pretty negative things said about Marty, but I have no beef with him. He treated me fairly and gave me a reasonable deal on the parts I ordered from him.

He claims to have the largest collection of 59 Buicks in existence, which I have no reason to question. He also says he is very busy, which explains why the transaction took a few months to complete. Again, I have no reason to question that statement. I would like to have gotten the parts sooner, but I am very satisfied with the transaction nonetheless.

Marty seemed like an OK guy when I talked to him on the phone. I had a problem with my email provider which caused some of my Emails to not be delivered, not only to Marty, but others as well. I unfairly accused him of ignoring my emails, but it turned out to be my fault. For that, I apologize.

Based on my transaction, I would recommend buying 59 Buick parts from Marty to anyone who is looking for them.

 

Glad to hear that it all worked out for you.

 

Mark Camalieri, in reply to your post some years ago called Re: Beware of Northwest Speed Equipment and Marty Lackner contact me.

 

Is this the same Marty Lackener of EELCO?

 

yes, same person and company just different name.

 

Not the same company; Eelco is owned by me. NW speed was partnership that I had the misfortune of being a part of. Get your facts straight!!

 

i stand corrected.

 

So....Eelco is by yourself and Northwest Speed you had help. It doesn't sound like his facts were too far off.

 

I hope you do not look at everything in your life in this way. That would be depressing.

What it means is that I was a junior partner and had little control over how the money was spent. I answered the phones and am the only one who stayed in the automotive world so I have taken the heat for years. I walked away with nothing but my tools and the eelco name that I personally owned. I started over with my best friend who passed away in '06. I still continue to forge ahead because I am not a quitter and despite the haters. I see no complaints at the quality of my work; Only the time it takes to get it done. I admit that I am a poor judge of how long it takes to get the job done but I do get it done and I get it right and at a good price.

Look around at all the eelco parts on the market and all the products that are similar that are made by me undr other brands. I have done all of this by myself with at the very most; One part time helper.

I have worked in very poor health of my own for close to 2 years now and I have never whined about it. When the parts stop selling; I will stop making them. If you do not like me or have the patience for me; Leave me alone. If you have never met me you have no right to comment on my charachter or who I am.

This is my final response to the matter. I believe I have answered with all the facts and I will not continue to fan the flame for your entertainment.

 

I dunno about this guy?:spank:

Considering this post was started in 2005 and Marty/Eelco/NW speed has declared defeat, I think we should let it go.

 

Re: Beware of Northwest Speed Equipment & Randy Rymal

Yeah, I appreciate the warning will not do business with Northwest Speed. My added warning is about Randy Rymal. This guy sent me a Fuel Sending Unit that fell apart in my hands so I sent it back but haven't heard from this jerk in over two years. Emails, phone calls, purchased part, refund... nothing. I finally ended up getting another unit elsewhere.
Be careful: The Buick community has some rotten vendors in its midst, albeit a lot of good ones that make it still worth being a part of.
