I found the owner to be helpful, knowledgeable. I found exactly what I was looking for with his guidance. I have worked with him and found what I needed several times over many years. Pleasant experience.

Alejandro is a businessman who knows what he has, and he has a LOT. Most reviews I read about him concern his attitude. I've been going to FBM for over 30 years and have a great relationship with him! Not that he's all sugar and spice, mind you- He is who he is, but I go there for the materials, not friendship - I've never been disappointed with the purchases I've made, and have always come away with my needs met- His prices may be high at times, but any restorer who finds exactly what he or she is looking for will pay to get it

My ETA of 2pm didn't work - they are only open 8-12 daily. I love what I saw thru the fence and it's not my business but they missed 2 vehicles worth of business. So just saying they could leave the place open 9-5 and work in a couple beers as needed - it's not rocket science. And hey, you should clean your merchandise 1 or 2 times per year. If you have any allergies, bring the inhaler
