Someone posted on another forum about these guys and I've heard of them but never used them. Once I factor in shipping etc the prices seem very much in line with a lot of US suppliers.
Anyone who has had dealing with them please chime in.
If you had a negative experience, please send me a private message. I don't wish this to be a vendor bashing thread.
Thanks in advance.

Carl, I've dealt with them twice and nothing but positive results. Found them very friendly and they seemed to know what they were talking about. Told me how long it would take to source the parts and they were bang on their timing. Would definetley use again if the need arises.

I totally agree. I've had the same good experience with them.
These guys have been around since the early 80's and the owners are car people. They sell a lot of Danchuck, CARS, repo parts. They are at Barrie every year in a prime location and are always busy.Prices are comparable to other vendors of similar parts. What I do is once a year when I go to the spring Nascar race in Michigian is put together a large order and preorder at CARS and Nathional Parts Depot. Heavy stuff like disc brake kits etc are expensive to ship up north so I save the shipping and depending on the US/Can dollar exchange rate do OK. For small items you need in hurry they are very good as they have a large inventory and the estimate time of delivery is pretty accurate.
I pop down often to see them whenever I need a small part, clip etc. They always seem to have what I need. I ordered a booster from them, and it took a couple times to get the correct one, but they were very accomodating and friendly all the while. Shannon even came out to see the '67 and was very impressed with it's story. I asked him why no CP stuff? He says they wouldn't have the room or time to bring on more stuff. But a lot of it crosses over guys!!! If you do any transactions with him, for fun mention we're talking about them here.
Cheers, Mark.

HI in the early 80 s i phoned them looking for a original battery cable for a 1969 z28 they said have you tried canadian tire?????????? that is and will be the first and last phone call
Checking CTC does not hurt once in awhile. A friend just found a complete heat riser assy from them for his 1986 Pontiac Aero Coupe 305 HO. It was in stock sitting on a shelf in AC Delco box.
I think by the sound of it when the time comes I will be giving these guys a call. I am thinking I may even save money because no PST shipped to out of Ontario, correct? When I bring stuff in from the US I believe I have to pay PST at the border.

Starting this summer it will be a HST. PST and GST combined thanks to that liar McSquinty ( Hillars) nickname for our Premier of Ontario. He got elected with a big promise of no tax increases which he just keeps on breaking.
30 minute drive to pick up parts from them. I have a US shipping address because I am close to the boarder but I`m finding the price here are getting close to US .
Hmm, thanks Mark. I will keep that in mind. So far I'm not ready to order, but I will keep that filed away. Hopefully my "hard drive" can pull up your name when I need to remember who offered !!!
