Testimonials:  “Thai Lotus Restaurant has the best Thai/Chinese lunch buffet
in the city.  The selection of dishes is diverse and always fresh.  I especially
enjoy their curry dishes.  I have been to six other Thai restaurants in the
Milwaukee area and I think thy make the best curry sauces.  I go there as much
as possible.” – Steven Lambert, Shorewood
“Thai Lotus is my favorite Thai place in Milwaukee! When I moved to town in
2005, I had few hopes of finding a Thai restaurant as good as the ones I'd
enjoyed when I lived in Chicago and Minneapolis. One day, a co-worker
suggested Thai Lotus for lunch and I've been hooked ever since! The quality of
the food, friendliness of the servers, and spiciness of the dishes keep me
coming back for more. I've introduced numerous other friends to the restaurant
and it always impresses them.  There are some weeks where I'll eat 2-3 times at
Thai Lotus (and then eat the leftovers from the generous portions too). It's the
tastiest Thai in town!” – Dora Fang

Review: Professionals Value the Custom in Customer by Jody Anderson
“Gee, don’t you hate it when your 1929 Mercedes won’t start and you have to
drive the ’69 Rambler to work?  Or when your boat goes put-put-put (instead of
rhmmm) and then dies in the water?
When either catastrophe occurs, call Billings Rebuilders at 643-9086 and then
take the ‘dead’ battery, starter or alternator to 3920 W. National Ave.  Soon you’
ll be cruising in style again, the envy of your friends (and me).
You don’t have a Mercedes?  Me either, but it doesn’t matter how we get around
town because Billings Rebuilders can repair almost any automotive, trucking,
industrial or marine starter, alternator, generator or electrical unit (domestic or
foreign) on the market today.  And owner Dick Billings is so confident his crew
can do it right the first time that he offers a one-year warrantee on their work.
Handy with engines but uncertain what the problem is?  Either you can pay a
service station big bucks to find and repair the faulty equipment, or you can
bring the parts you suspect are malfunctioning to Billings and have them test
them for you.  If your problem IS a starter, alternator or battery, Billings can fix
you up with a replacement part or rebuild yours – you decide.
Dick Billings has been in business since 1981, and offers more than competitive
prices – he gives the customers the benefit of his expertise with all types of
vehicles, including one-of-a-kind street rods (Billings Rebuilders carries chrome
starters and alternators!) and racing cars.
‘Everyone in the shop likes racing,’ Dick noted. ‘So we naturally became involved
in midget racing, junior drag racing and go carts, and we handle some
replacement parts or make repairs ourselves.  Street rod parts are available too,
to help the owner achieve the look he wants for his vehicle.  We really enjoy
working with car owners, because we appreciate how important their vehicle is to
them.’
Shop foreman Greg Linben has been with Billings Rebuilders since the shop
opened, and Perry York bring customers seven years of on-site Billings
experience.  ‘I’ve surrounded myself with competent mechanics, and it’s paid off
in customer loyalty and satisfaction,’ Dick said.  ‘We’re the only rebuilding shop
in West Milwaukee because we do it right.
For quality rebuilt parts for any car – from Mercedes to Rambler to street rod –
or boat, truck or industrial equipment, go for the checkered flag at Billings
Rebuilders!  The shop is open weekdays from 8a.m. to 5p.m.” – date and
