Ive had good luck with them, especially when you need it 30 minutes ago and dont want to wait 3 days for it. Plus shipping and handling added to to your order makes it cost more so its about the same. If they put a store at the track for thing people break or need that would be great.

I've known Kenny since High School. He will work with anyone to get what you need, his prices are fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a Ford guy, I won't hold that against him!!! We all need to support local businesses. Fuel prices are great!!!!!!! After shipping mail order is not cheaper.

That would be WISE SPEED SHOP not Bier Brothers. Bier Brothers should change their name to Triple P ( Short for Triple Price) Have never been able to buy from those guys at all. I understand the need to make a profit and all but geez, don't try to make it all off one customer. Haven't been in the place for 6-7 years and no desire to go back in. If you havent been in there for 6-7 years then most of what you find distasteful COULD be completely irrelevant today. I find that by the time I have the part in my possesion and on my car, after all expenditures for tax vs shipping, Bier Bros are right inline with mail order, at least on the stuff I would usually buy. Might oughtta try them again. thanks for the correction

You might pay a little more but try and take something back, talk thru some problem or show them a part you need to match with mail order. I'd rather pay for service and friendship which is why I won't buy mail order. Just remember if you lend someone $20 and you never see them again it was worth it

We all need to support local businesses. Fuel prices are great!!!!!!! After shipping mail order is not cheaper. Last time I tried to buy Methanol he was almost as much as what Gateway was charging. $4.50 a gallon? I bought it for $1.96 a gallon elsewhere and had it delivered to the shop for free. And I have tried him since 6-7 years ago he just doesn't want to work with us so we don't go in. I mean you can only hear don't have it can't get it so many times. I drive down to Hampton Ave. and visit my ole buddy Donnie Baran.

Anybody that thinks Kenny is getting rich on Gas or Nitros is nuts. Its a service to get people in like car inspections. Nobody wants to sell it, its more hassle than what its worth so be happy you have a place to go get it on Fri or Sat afternoon.

Take a look at the barrels your buying cause at 1.96 a gal it industrial meth not racing meth. its only 90% pure meth the rest is water and fillers. I know I got stuck with some of that crap.

Lab grade methanol is 99.998% pure, can be gotten at 2 chem. plants down town, you must have a tax number to get it.

I drive down to Hampton Ave. and visit my ole buddy Donnie Baran. Yeah, I keep hearing that they are closed too. But everytime I go down there or call they are always there. Times are tough for everybody in case we didn't know that. And I do have a tax # and I get my methanol in Affton, delivered right to the shop, and I know several people that still do business with Kenny and they they have no issue with him. It's just that the combination that I run isn't your normal everyday SBF, SBC, BBC or even Mopar. And seeing that I do own my own shop I can buy direct from the same places he does so when I go in to buy an intake gasket and he wants to charge me$25.32 for a set he pays $15.78 for I don't think so. Look I understand he's in the business to make a living the same as I am, but if I had to rely on him to keep my cars running for parts and fuel I wouldn't be able to afford to go to the track to race them.
