I guess I'm the black sheep in this crowd. I've never used Serio for anything, but he apparently does good work when he's paid. But as I said in my last correspondence with him, he'd better hope he's never in a position to want anything from me, because I wouldn't help him. I was hoping he would share one little piece of information about Hurst shifters with me- the correct positions of the two different thickness separator plates (Mr.Gasket/Hurst won't divulge such info). Instead of taking a half a minute and giving me the answer, he composed a full page dissertation on how good he is, how much time/effort/money he's invested in his trade, blah, blah, blah, and suggested I send him the shifter for rebuilding (which it doesn't need). This was after I explained to him that I'll never be a threat to his business- this is the only Hurst I ever took apart, and probably will be the last, and that I'm retired and not looking for any new livelihood. Thanks Pete.

Hmmm, you sure it wasn't the e-mail auto-responder he uses. I got the same 1-page description of his services, but I think that's just standard fare.

I emailed Pete several pics of the shifter I had rebuilt. We exchanged several emails. He identified the shifter to be the correct one for my application.

After he spent his time looking at my pics and answering my emails (all for free), I could have turned around and sent it to Hurst.

The last two things to mention is the excellent rebuild and SUPER fast service. He got it back to me in a week. Most of the work I have had done on the car/motor/etc. has been very slow.

A+ all-around for Pete's service.
