Can I Praise A Parts Seller?

Members and Guests. I would like to praise a seller of items for our cars publicly if I may.

Thank you, Cadillac Fleetwood. (Charles Fares)
I read Charles' ad on the Parts For Sale, forum and perused the listed items. Yes, I could use this and I could use that. If not at once, in the future, you never know. So, I emailed Charles, and placed my order, even inquiring about items not listed. I was not disappointed. He said yes, to 99% of what I, inquired about.

Each item was meticulously packaged, labeled, clean, priced fairly and ready for installation. The box arrived today. These items came from SoCal, where they are having life threatening heat and fires. Charles, could have easily said, 'I accept your order, but due to inclement conditions, it may be delayed.' I would have accepted this without issue.

I have bought items from Charles, before and have always had a pleasant experience. If every business were operated in the fashion Charles, fulfilled my order, this world would greatly prosper.

Thank you again, Charles, for a proper business transaction.

John

Hello ,
       I have also purchased parts from Charles.   I have experienced the same service . Even better then his parts is his willingness  to explain  every detail when asking him how to remove or install some of the most complex assemblies . And besides that he is a first class Human Being . Always willing to Help out another club member .

I bought a set of NOS 1977 Fleetwood hubcap emblems for my car from him.  They were stunning.  Not easy to find also.

I only needed 3 as I already had one more and he broke up the set for me. 

Now that's a class act, right there.

I have bought several things from Charles and they have all been top quality. There is never a question about the condition when buying from him.

I was interested myself, so I tried looking up Charles Fares in the 2020 IMD - No luck. I looked under SoCal and by name.
Close - P. Farese NJ - so close, but no cigar.

Tried to help - Have fun,

Thanks.  Same thing I did with no results.  I've seen him post before a time or two, but couldn't find those posts either.

I'd like to also get a link for Charles. I don't need anything now but am sure in the spring will be a different story.

This is just one of the many ads placed. Read it and follow the sellers instructions. Email preferred.

You have to go through the "Parts For Sale", section and read the ads. There are too many to do your research for you.

I know Charles personally as we both live in the same city, I’ve also bought many parts from him over the years . He is a great friend of mine, is very hospitable,  and is someone that really takes the time to help someone with their Cadillacs. He’s really helped me with my Cads in terms of knowledge especially the little details, specifications, and overall facts about them that other wise I would have no clue about.

His strong passion for Cadillacs goes back to his childhood. He was very fortunate to have been able to grow up around family that owned these cars when they were new. So it’s really nice talking with him as he tells me personal stories about when he was a kid and how his grandparents owned Cadillacs from the 50’s-70’s. Now that’s cool! Plus his own experience owning Cadillacs from different years.

Shout out to you Charles if you’re reading this buddy! 8)
