3 Cheers for CaliYaris!

[chrisj]

I've read some people bashing Garm/Micro Image/CaliYaris, and I am here to say that it is great to have somewhere to get parts/help when you need them. I have an '09, and I ordered the fogs. I emailed Garm about the bezels and he answered right back...even from the road. I really appreciate service like that, and I appreciate the fact that I can get straight answers from him, instead of people on places like ebay telling me, "Yes, it will fit", when NO, it won't.

I'm new here, but I know good service when I see/feel it. And I feel it with Garm. :thumbup:

[rningonfumes]

Hip Hip Hooray! *Agreed*

[tomato]

Awww, that's sweet, you guys.

I know good service when I see/feel it

yeah, these days, service is hard to come by.

[47_MasoN_47]

Garm is a wizard! That guy has helped me find parts (for a freaking SEDAN even) and gave his opinion on all sorts of questions I've asked. Nothing but rave reviews for Micro Image and Garm from me!

[silver_echo]

he even has parts for the echo people... :thumbup:

oops, just reminded myself of my totaled echo... :cry:

hell, he was even willing to help me with an issue that i was having related to my divorce, luckily his assistance was not required...

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Yup, + a billion for Garm and his services. Don't see what the problem is...the sedans just doesn't have as much parts readily available compared to the LB. Nothing to get pissy about, and Garm is doing his best to get more sedan parts. It's also harder for him because he would have to buy in bulk to be able to offer us his crazy prices, and not a lot of sedan owners mod their cars compared to LB owners. So he's left with parts sitting in his shop, eating up space.

Yup, + a billion for Garm and his services.

[Darb]

Hoorah!

(Also, he get's Bamboo next, so he'll get to see the next Micro Image open house! :w00t:)

[fnkngrv]

who is this Garm guy you all keep talking about?




:iono:






:thumbsup:

[why?]

dude Garm is the man, and it is good to support him as much as possible.

Too bad he is on the other side of the country.

[PETERPOOP]

I LOVE GARM. HOMO ALL THE WAY!

[chrisj]

I LOVE GARM. HOMO ALL THE WAY!

:laugh:

[SilverBack]

Garm hooked me up with a hood seal I needed a while back, and I still haven't paid him yet. Meanwhile he hasn't brought-up the subject since that day because he's just that humble. (My bad Garm. You shall be paid finally at open house because I have some cash to spare now).

On a more personal level I kinda sorta think of him as a father figure. Growing up my real dad never learned how to be a male role model, so therefore couldn't be respected. I had to find it elsewhere. So yeah, Garm's son is lucky as hell :respekt:

Alright enough of this Steve Wilkos talk, let's get some beers in here! YYEEAAH!! :drinking:

[33OH]

Plus today is Garm's bday! :headbang:

[cali yaris]

I don't mind being thought of as the Yaris community's "dad" -- I'm 52 today. Being here keeps me young in mind and heart. Better then being another stuck up douche with a Porsche, right?

....and wow, thanks everyone. It means a lot, I seriously do the parts thing because of the good mojo with all of YOU. I'm looking forward to seeing some of you at our open house on October 9 and the rest I'll see online as usual!

If you have a request or a suggestion, about anything, you know where to find me.

Except the lack of sedan parts. (sorry had to go there) :laugh:

[tomato]

Oh that's right!!!!!!!!!!! Happy b'day!!!!!

Better go make a cake :smile:

[minired5stby]

Whos been bashing Garm where is at where is at. I never had a issue with Garm and for the ones that do somethings gotta be wrong with them. Thats all I gotta say about that.

Anywho congrats on the big 52

[shinlee]

yup, back when I had the ol yaris all decked out, Garm totally hooked me up with parts, and for that, I am definatly willing to always give any of my money that I'm putting into the yaris into him

[chrisj]

Am I showin' the love or what?

Damn my car is filthy!

[Kioshi]

Happy Belated Garm.

And i'm glad you are here to stay with us tree hugging eco modders :P

Without Garm, i would be spending a couple $100 every 6 months for HID look alike lights.

The guy is a total different being in-person. Everyone should go meet him. And yes, he is nice and not a stuck up person like the others w/ Porsche/BMW... ;)

[why?]

Am I showin' the love or what?

Damn my car is filthy!

nice! I'd put one on that I got with one of my orders, but well my car looks like crap, and it is prolly way below standards for the MI logo.

[chrisj]

It looks like my sombrero has legs in the pic... :/

[Astroman]

when I was in the accident last year Garm personally helped me pick out some new goodies and worked seamlessly with the body shop getting the items shipped out. He even made sure to triple check that I was getting the exact hood and bumper I wanted. And even though I really really really wanted the entire RS kit and he gave me a quote he was understanding and not pushy at all when I said I'd have to wait on the rest of the kit. I even asked about aftermarket headlights which he could have sold me, but he said he personally wasn't happy with the quality and said I would be better off without. I mean, why mess around with fleabay when Garm sells the same thing, and will tell you if it will fit, if its crud, or whatever. I was going to get my DC sports header from him a while back but he said he was out of stock and it would be a few weeks before they were in. He could have just taken my money and made me wait, but the honesty was what brought me back for my other parts. Once my girlfriend gets a great job we'll be buying almost all our parts from Garm for her liftback. :bow:
