I'd like to add Advanced Auto Parts to the Dealers list

advanced auto i feel is too overpriced, i can allways get everything a coupple $$ at oreillys

See, it's the opposite for me. And no one in my area has the service Advanced Auto Parts does (though Autozone isn't far behind). Plus, AAP is right across the street from my apartment complex.

I'm with your Ace. The AZ by my house has a constant turn over of computer operators behind the counter. The AA 1/2 mile away has two guys in their 50s that run the place and actually know about cars, not that I need their help, but I've been there when they are actually helping people. They do a good job hiring young people who are polite and speak english, not street.

Dealer:

pfyc.com
my local junk yard

Stealer:

"Monster part online"

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=214632

I like this website because they are cheapest than GM direct part.

Example for my exhaust system.
Dealership: $600+
GM Direct part: $500+
Monster part online: $430.

I saved lot of money for that.

Reason why? I'm still waiting for my 5 missing clamps. It has been over 2 weeks! I can't tell which one part of fault? GM or monster part online. All they told me still looking for exhaust size. I mean come on it is 2.5! What part they don't understand? :rolleyes:

You've got a good point. When I go to AZ, I always see a new face. And frequently, it's a kid that speaks ghetto. The AA has 2-3 middle aged guys who are always helpful. One of them even put my new wiper blades on my car for me (though I could have done it myself... ) They are a fountain of knowledge, and have explained the difference in things as simple as wiper blades to me. Sometimes without my asking...

ROCKAUTO !! www.rockauto.com

they do just that, they rock!
Normally cheaper Brand name quality parts than the cheaper brand parts locally. (including shipping)

Dealers:

PFYC.com

www.3800performance.com

www.wbodystore.com

www.zzperformance.com

www.performancepeddler.com

www.greenbastardproducts.com I recently purchased a new product from him, a 97-03 W Body Plenum water deflector that eliminates the cowl vent leaking/water in the floorboard issue.

I would like to reiterate ZZP. Here's the reason:

I bought the HV TB & PCM from them, before Hurriance Ike. The storm delayed their installation, then my car dying delayed the installation, then when I got back my job delayed their installation, and then a SES light after installing them delayed me shipping the cores back, and then I forgot to ship them. I was honest and told ZZP this, and said I'm shipping them back now, and hopefully I can get the core charge back, but if not I understand.

I got a reply that afternoon, telling me that it's fine, they won't dock the core charge.

Now THAT is customer service. Part of the reason I didn't get them back in time was MY fault, and I still get all the money back. I would have totally understood if I didn't.

Of course, congratulating them on the new record, telling them to shoot for low 8's, and telling them I look forward to future business with them regardless of how the core charge is handled probably didn't hurt matters. lol

DEALER!

Jim's Racing Tire & Speed Equipment
508 Orems Rd
Baltimore MD 21221

1-800-281-0409 (toll free)

Jim might be 79 years old but he and his son run an old school business. they are knowledgable and extremely helpful and want you to be satisfied no matter what. They dont have an eBay store but do advertise items on eBay Motors.

Jim is distributor for Weld Wheels, Greg Weld Motorsports and American racing wheels as well as various tire brands including Mickey Thompson drag radials.

I have to agree Rockauto is imo one of the best autoparts dealers out there. Pricing & service are outstanding.

Buyer: Rick, We agreed on 25$ shipped, So I said mehh, I ship them out a few days early since I know GPN is full of great people. So he sent me 50$ instead of the 25$!!! With intent, not on accident lol. Which I thought was the case.

Thanks Rick!

Rook (good deal on an XBox awhile ago)
Crimpton (I know him well in real life. Good guy. If he sells/buys he can be trusted)

00GrandprixGT- Karl- Stealer.

Never gave me the 17$ he owed me for me shipping corners to him which costed 15$ to ship. Just was being a nice guy, never got the money over 6 months later. He claims the letter is returned to him from USPS each time.

They never leaked for me, but claimed they did for him, Regardless I would of made 2$, now Im still out 17$.

GrandprixGTalpine is very good

Dealers - I've had great experiences with everyone I've dealt with so far....

palsut - gave me a great deal on a tail light, fast shipping, great communication, thanks!

98greengt - sold me a gauge pod, and then helped me (and by help did basically everything!) put in the gauges when I got then. Has helped with many questions. Thanks!

01GT - bought grills from him, met up halfway, great communication, thanks!

01GTshaner - sold the grills to him after I needed money to buy new tires/rims, quick payment, great communication, thanks

Dealer:
Palsut - Amazing fast transaction of roof rails that came quick and were exactly as described. Communication was amazing with him and he will get you what you need if he has it! Thank you palsut!

SlickGTP: Dealer.

I just realized that, after all of our transactions, I never put him on here. Always negotiable, always prompt and reliable. I have never had any question or concern about him keeping his end of the bargain. I understand that there is very little remaining, but if you get the chance to do business with John, great guy to buy from and work with.

Dealer: 01GT

I thought people over here knew I guess not.

TDC Racing = Scumbag who scammed many buyers.

He started off as a great GP sales guy offering deals and parts but he has taken a very large sum of money from peoples orders and disappeared.

Do not buy from this seller.

Chris Willbanks of Norman, OK (OKSooner89 on ClugGP)(Has account on Clubgp and few other forums).

Do not buy from him as he has stolen from not just me but others and is known for stealing money as well.

Dealer: Kristin Jensen (Wing). Bought a set of projectors from her recently. Was willing to quickly answer my questions. More importantly, though, was quick to ask questions and accomodate the needs of me and my wife. Fast shipping and had insured the lights.
