T&T: Another "bad company report"

They are notorious and have received similar reviews on this List. I believe 
that this List has noted that a firm in Alabama and two in the Greater 
Norfolk area are good to work with and competitive in price. If a Prima is a 
recent Perkins/Sabre product, American Diesel will have the parts. There is 
a wide variation in price worth exploring.

| Has anybody ever dealt with Foley Marine And Industrial Engines Inc. in
| Worcester MA.  I tried to order overhaul parts for a pair of Perkins Prima 
M50
| Diesel engines. The salesman said I could buy a new engine for $4995 or 
the
| overhaul parts for about $1000, so a new engine was the way to go. I tried 
to
| explain the difference between 4995 and 1000 to him when he called me a 
"boaty
| asshole". and told me I would not be a Foley customer. He would not let me
| talk to his supervisor or give me his name. When I called the Tech line I 
got
| the same jerk, he hung up on me. Anybody know about this company?
