Sometimes they ship with inferior companies (like DHL! Hey, there's another post subject for you -- companies you DON'T endorse).</p>
<p>Costco. Love it.</p>
<p>TiVo. Revolutionary.</p>
<p>Google. I use a lot of their offerings. They've changed the face of the Internet. For the better.</p>
<p>REI. Great products, great service. Plus, they seem to care about the environment.</p>
<p>Honda. Cars are great, but their service is even better. And they seem to have what you need when you need it (I bought snow 'chains' from my local Honda dealer when NOBODY else had them. It was still winter, by the way.).</p>
<p>Toshiba. I've owned their TVs for decades. They simply work flawlessly forever.</p>

<p>Toyota/Lexus--So realiable. My first Toyota had 222,000 miles when I got rid of it, my second had 171,000. Amazing cars that just kept going and going. I'm now on my first Lexus and can't imagine ever getting anything else. Drives great, FABULOUS customer service, and again, so reliable. </p>
<p>Coach--quality product and amazing customer service. Their policy if something gets damaged/broken even after you've had it for years, is great. Free repairs, and if they can't fix it, they replace it with something similar or store credit. </p>
<p>Eddie Bauer--pretty much all of my husband's clothes come from here. They are a little on the pricey side (they do have great sales, though), but they last seemingly forever. My husband is extremely hard on clothes, but they seem to hold up and look great wash after wash. I also love the quality of their wrinkle-free pants and dress shirts. Makes my life much easier :) </p>Dave commented on 'Companies I Promote for Free'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200d8354afbb753ef2007-05-31T14:22:21Z2008-08-28T06:31:20ZDaveNissan - I leased an Altima and I needed to extend the lease.

In addition, they called me to remind me of all lease return procedures, and they had notes on all prior conversations. The car performed with no problems the entire time I owned it, and it was a great car for the money. </p>Rob commented on 'Companies I Promote for Free'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200d835492f4653ef2007-05-28T00:02:11Z2007-05-28T00:02:20ZRobhttp://www.robertward.orgHonda without a doubt.

My parents bought me an Accord while I was in college (only 3 years ago actually) and it still runs great at almost 195k mile - I've put 75,000 on it in the last three years. Needless to say, Honda will always have my business.</p>

I can whole-heartedly say I love my bank/mortgage provider/insurer/credit card company, not many people can! (They were ranked #1 in customer service by Business Week... followed by Nordstroms, among others).</p>
<p>My husband and I have had several great experiences with Penske rental trucks for long-haul moves. Very new trucks.</p>Mike Guzzo commented on 'Companies I Promote for Free'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200d8354783c453ef2007-05-24T05:59:46Z2008-08-27T11:57:03ZMike Guzzohttp://guzzothecontrarian.comVanguard?

It is only open to Military members and their fammilies, but it is quite possibly one of the best banks around. They also have investments, insurance, mortgages, etc. I wouldn't change banks for anything.</p>
<p>Toyota and Honda are great for vehicles. </p>
<p>Fender and Martin for guitars. :)</p>Jumpcut commented on 'Companies I Promote for Free'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200d8357c69da69e22007-05-23T17:27:34Z2007-05-23T17:27:43ZJumpcutTotally agree on the Subaru.

I have a 2002 Forester...in nearly 6 years all I've done is change the oil and it still looks & rides like new. Not a single repair. I've never had a car that's so reliable.</p>Moneymonk commented on 'Companies I Promote for Free'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200d83546f19453ef2007-05-23T15:51:17Z2007-05-23T15:51:23ZMoneymonkhttp://moneyliving.blogspot.comSimiliar to your list.

<p>Tivo - life would be over without this and their company. </p>
<p>TD Ameritrade - yet to have a problem using this as a daily stock trading account.</p>
<p>Sony - I've never ever had a problem with an electronic product of theirs. I still have a stereo system that works like the day I bought 14 years ago.</p>Austin commented on 'Companies I Promote for Free'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200d83546e9c353ef2007-05-23T14:59:28Z2008-08-27T11:55:42ZAustinGrandCentral.com - They offer a great services and their customer service is terrific.

T-mobile - I've had them for 10 years with no complaints other than the occasional bad handset that they quickly replaced. Everytime I've had an issue they are quick to respond.<br />
Tigerdirect.com - Purchased my last 3 computers and countless items from them. They even called me to see if I knew the memory I selected wouldn't work with my pc. I've never seen better prices either.<br />
Academy Sports - (a regional sporting goods mega-store) Best prices and helpful employees.<br />

Vanguard - I agree, they are great, love the choices in index fund and the low costs.<br />
Home Depot - After recently visiting the Olympic Training Center in Colorado, I am more impressed with how Home Depot treats their employees, and I am continually impressed the the knowledge of the people working there.</p>
