Default Parts vendor in Ontario, Canada

Hi,
Just wanted to say hi, and let anyone interested know that we are open for business in Thorold(Just outside Niagara Falls), Ontario, Canada. For those who may have shopped at Beakys Corvette Corner in London, I have purchased the inventory from there and also have my own stock and am now a supporting member on the forum. Beaky had a warehouse full of mainly C1 and C2 parts, including some pretty rare stuff. Just wanted you guys to know we are here and if you need anything let us know. We'll be specializing in C1, C2 and C3, but also stocking newer stuff as well as placing orders each week. Also here for our American neighbors, being on the border I ship from Buffalo, NY if you need anything. Thanks!

What will you be basing your pricing on compared to some of the larger catalogue companies in the US for C3 parts? Will you be able to compete price wise? If so, do you have a website up and running or am I missing a link?

Thanks and good luck.

Not sure where to put link for website? Its under my contact info, is there a way to add on this page or signature somehow? Website mainly has contact info and location right now, just moving into new building and trying to organize everything then will be adding inventory to website.

I will be able to compete price wise, especially for used items, or items I have in stock that I'm looking to move. I'm also on the border so do all my own importing so I don't have the broker fees and such some people have. So any items ordered you get bottom line price, no extra duty or surprises later.

When you are settled in let us know, I'll take a run down in my 72 as I am starting to build my parts list. I wondered what happened to Beacky's inventory.

Welcome !

As you are a supporting vendor, why not post in the Canadian Event section of the forum also !

Just a thought,

Yes Beaky passed away last year so I purchased the inventory and am moving it to our shop in Thorold. I'm in London a couple times a week packing up and can bring parts there also if anyone needs anything. Thanks

glad to see a Cdn supplier!

Small potential customer request - when loading inventory please make a comprehensive browse section with a user friendly search function.

Some vendors' websites you search "Part x" and you get 400 pages of items.
