    Howdy folks,

    I'm sure it sounds like a broken record lately as everyone that has interacted with David has had a fantastic experience, but I just wanted to reiterate my experience for anyone considering purchasing a Coachbuilder product.

    David is about as stand up a guy as you can possibly find. I purchased a set of polyurethane bushings from him to replace the factory pressed in bushings in my leaf spring eyelets. In addition to that, I purchased a cheaper shackle product from a different manufacturer in an attempt to save money. In the installation process, I had a couple hiccups along the way (as anyone who has replaced the bushings can probably attest). Some of these issues arose with the installation of the product that I didn't even buy from David. He spent multiple phone calls with me patiently explaining how to rectify my problem, and even went in Lowe's in Salt Lake City on his own personal time to see if they stocked the parts I was missing in my installation, that I wouldn't have been missing if I'd have just purchased his product to begin with. In hindsight, I would have saved myself a bunch of hassle just sticking with all Coachbuilder products to begin with.

    If this isn't the definition of customer service and standing behind your product (even when it's being installed in parallel with a product that isn't even yours), I don't know what is. David not only makes an outstanding quality product, but he is a genuine pleasure to do business with. I couldn't offer a stronger recommendation for all your Tundra suspension needs.

    Thanks David!

    It never ends does it?
    Couldn't agree more. Although I went a different direction with my build his friendly advice over the phone for a first time caller was stellar.

    Dave is the pinnacle of delivering a great customer experience every single time. He's open, upfront, and honest. He's available, listens, and provides solutions even months after the sale. When speaking to him, he does a great job making me feel comfortable in the conversation regardless of my knowledge or experience. This gains my trust, therefore gains my business. He's patiently helped educate me on aftermarket parts which have helped me understand what to expect from my dealership service department from a fair and ethical perspective.

    I've dealt with many other business owners, and plenty of people in customer service. He gets it and frankly most companies simply do not. Total class act

    It’s as if he has summoned the power of every Chick-fil-A employee and harnessed their energy to deal with all of us.

    David is the hope that real people and honest companies still exist. When buying from him you know you are getting quality products made in America. Have any issues? Rest assured he will eliminate them all with out a hiccup.

    I spoke to David and find him very knowledgeable. He placed my order, now I wait for my parts near my mailbox everyday. Lol.
