3 Cheers for CaliYaris! - Toyota Yaris Forums

chrisj · 09-21-2010, 12:51 AM

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.

Hip Hip Hooray! *Agreed*

Awww, that's sweet, you guys.

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

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 · 09-21-2010, 04:36 AM

he even has parts for the echo people...

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

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...

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.

Hoorah!

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

)

fnkngrv · 09-21-2010, 10:24 AM

who is this Garm guy you all keep talking about?

why? · 09-21-2010, 11:56 AM

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 · 09-21-2010, 12:20 PM

I LOVE GARM. HOMO ALL THE WAY!

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

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

Plus today is Garm's bday!

cali yaris · 09-21-2010, 06:11 PM

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)
