truck and car shop
These guys seem to have the lowest prices that I can find on 67-72 stuff, Has anybody had any experience with this supplier? I talked to a gal on the phone there about part numbers, and I didn't have the warm and fuzzies talking to her.... Do they ship quick, complete orders, backorders? Any help would be appreciated!

most of the chicks there are hot, very hot...I've only been in and never ordered things from them so I can't say good or bad about that, I have had no problems with them with anything, like you said the cost in low and it's the same thing you buy from other comp.

I got my mirrors from them. Their price was much better than anyplace else. On top of that, last year around this time they had a big sale. They came in good time and the product looks and fits well. I delt with a guy on the phone and he really wasn't the friendliest. I wouldn't count on them knowing anything about the product they sell, they just take the orders.

I have been there, its a pretty cool place, they have lots of stuff. The counter guy I had didnt seem all that knowlegable about 67-72 but they are dealing in a lot of different types of cars and trucks.

Been buying from them at Carlisle, Pa show for several years. Good guys, will work a deal on quantity or scratch/dent. Probably one of the biggest 67-72 dealers in US. Supply a lot of smaller dealers. No technical experts but great prices for reasonable driver quality.

I am still trying to get the rest of my parts from them. On back order they say. I placed the original order back in October. That took a month to get. It wouldn't be that big a deal but when you call them they have no clue what is going on and end up being on hold every time i call them and get passed around from person to person. I doubt I will ever use them again. I will pay more to get treated better.
I have bought from them at shows and there cool there. |

I have bought parts from them in the past with very good results, but from this point on i'll be buying all my parts from www.****************.com . They seem to have the best prices on quality parts, are extreemly knowledgable & easy to work & communicate with, & seem to be working harder than any other vendor to help me get the parts i need in a very efficiant & timely manner. John

I only faxed in my order, and it was 6 PAGES!!!They didn't miss one item! Good service! Fast Delivery----Moral of the story- call them and tell them you will be faxing your order. They called back and actually corrected an addition mistake I had made!

They sold me 2 right doors (1 box said "L" and one said "R") and when I called them on it they made me drive a 3hr round trip to exchange the door. They were not accomodating at all. They told me to contact the manufacturer. What a joke.
I have bought a lot of good quality parts from them at a reasonable price, but the service leaves something to be desired. It depends on who picks up the phone with those guys. |

You get what you pay for . . .
Anyone can buy and sell parts, but do they no it will work? Do the know the difference between the Blazer and Truck? Do they even care about how your vehicle comes out? Can you call them right now and ask for help? NO Be careful guys and gals, buy from who ever and where ever, just remember the link below . . .

They are good for little things and the prices are good. But like John said, I'll deal with Rick from now on. He seems to have close prices and will work with you on some stuff. Haven't had a problem with anything the truckandcar shop sold though. Jeff.

Hey Guys, I will work with you on prices but you have to give me a chance. I give package deals also. Some people talk about how some people are cheaper than others but they have never asked you for a price. Thanks Tim

Easy now Tim! I've spent money with you too. I was just saying that if I have to order something, I'll go with someone I know and trust as well as compare their prices. You have good prices too. Jeff.

I am waaaay to busy to have to call someone to find out if they are going to meet someone else's prices or not. Dont' mean to sound like a jerk here, but if your prices are lower POST THEM SOMEWHERE, I am sure there are people like me that are not going to take the time to call everyone they know to compare pricing on items???
On the other hand, I love to support the smaller business as long as they support me.... |
