Tough call. I have heard great things about Classic Chevy, and a few tough stories about Keisler (although none recently). But when I dealt with Keisler about a bunch of changes and sending back my TKO to them for a switch-out, I could not have been better taken care of. Richard in Customer Service was great to deal and took care of everything.

Nothing but 100% confidence in Classic Chevy. I picked Jim Goodland brain a few times over there and his knowledge is hard to beat.
