I had an email this morning asking if RockAuto or Amazon.com are paying me for the positive reviews I gave them over the last couple of days.
No.
Nobody is paying me. I have never made a single nickle off of this blog. I have never received any free stuff. I have never asked for anything, and I wouldn't accept anything.
When I recommend that you spend your hard earned money with someone, it's only because I have already spent mine and was happy with the products AND service I received. If I get great service and a crappy product, I would never suggest you visit the business.
In the world today good customer service seems to be an afterthought. When I find it, I want to pass that along.
I will damn sure tell you if I get screwed over someplace, so it's only fair that if I get good service, a good product and a fair price, that I tell you that too.
Sorry for the early morning rant, but the email struck me as more of an accusation than a question...
