The gentleman I have dealt with on a few occassion as a DIY was friendly and knowledgeable of his inventory. I hope the business is doing well. Its really nice to be able to go to a local shop and get something like a bearing. I sold automotive parts and their related products (like bearings and seals) for 15 years and enjoyed being the one place people knew they could go to and get everything they need, including advice on their task at hand. When youre the best at your game you get to solve peoples problems even though they had given up hope. You can achieve savior status and be respected in your community. I saved hundreds of families who needed to fix their car in order to go to work. When someone needs to go to work and their familys well being relies on the income you can bet theyre pretty desperate and often angry. Providing them with the means to get their car up and going can be deeply gratifying. Or helping professional dragster teams who had an unexpected mishap during the big race and need a (*part name*, for instance: left throttle rod linkage clip) in order to run the next race and you have it for them will make you a hero in their minds and they remember you 🏆. Helping people like that is very satisfying and I am sure the people at OC Bearing have many such stories to tell. With a name like Orange County Bearing I easily remember them when the time comes I absolutely need that bearing ASAP! (Plus theyre only 15 minutes from my house.)

Alan helped me out so much. He had everything I needed in stock. Including the bearing housing. He also taught me a bit about bearings and specific sizes. Great experience. Great shop!!!

Honestly the best bearing house in the Orange area. The owner always is so helpful and always has everything in stock. From odd seal sizes to bearings and belts he has it all. Nice Shop.
