Rayco on hempstead turnpike Levittown

OK so Rayco is a tuner shop on Hempstead turnpike in Levittown. By outside appearance it looks great, its huge and they have just about everything you could be looking for, Unfortunately their prices suck so bad!!! They mark everything up like double the price it should be. My suggestion dont buy from these guys they definately are looking to make more then a buck on you because they know people are stupid and dont know where to find the products they sell. I wont shop there and that is my 2cents!

damnit! you beat me to it! lol

yeah, its pretty rare to find a shop that can match prices you find on the net. so unless youre getting a kit or something you actually want to see and not get screwed on, you might not want to buy from places like that. the markup is crazy.

maybe there are exceptions if theres a lot of competition in an area (like CA) but chances are that wont happen in the mid-atlantic area.

On Route 46, there's a bunch of tuner shops a few miles passed Hawthorne etc. There's a really nice dealership looking (the building) shop called "Mothers". Not good. Also jacked up prices. The really lazy tuners with money to blow, shop there. They won't help you out unless you're planning on buying one of their 'fine' products, and pay for them to install it as well.

i went there to see if they had a blue bulb for my rear dome light, and they said they had some in stock, 25$ for just 1 light... i was like WHOA you gotta be shittin me, the guy said fine, you want it for 15? WTF? they literally 3x's everything, and then when they "lower" the price it makes it seems they are giving a good deal, but then its still 2x's the friken thing

Now i know why they drive hooked up lincoln navigators, and mercedes!!

The one in Farmingdale is 2x's the size, and i got the bulb there with like 3 other bulbs in a package for 3$!

I would always try to avoid Big Boys Toys, Eastern, etc.... basically, there are so many places to avoid, unless you have so much extra $ to spend or dont know where the better deals are. Thank goodness ppl are able to put up DIYs for things.
