Default willcox parts

I´m in need some parts and comparing with all corvette parts vendors I found willcox to have the better prices. I havent done any busyness with them, so I wanted to know if someone can give thie opinion. I´ve deal mostly with ecklers with no problem so far now but willcox is 20%-30% down in some of the items I need. Are their parts good(suspension, brakes)? service? etc. Thanks... Sebastian

I am lucky enough to be local to them and I can go there and talk to the guys one-on-one. I haven't done much buying lately as my wallet has been drained by my wife's "Honey-Do list".....but I would reccomend them hands down for good prices, awesome customer service, and great product knowledge.

Just spent a month resurecting my '70 that I bought in 1982, but had not used since 1990. Back in the old days, all we had was Ecklers and Midwest. Now I've sampled just about all the new suppliers, and without a doubt you will get the best service and prices from Wilcox. I bought just about everything from them, and learned that if it's not listed on their website - CALL THEM - they can probably get it for you. Don't forget to check out their forum specials. Yes, most of their stuff comes right from all the other suppliers, but they get a good deal and seem to pass the savings on to us. Give them your list, and I'll bet they can track it all down for you from whoever may have it, and you've only made one phone call and saved some money!

Tommy, Norm and Ernie - thanks for all your help getting me and my '70 back on the road.

Gary

I just looked at Wilcox's new forum specials and it looks like I'll have to order my seat covers and foam now, instead of waiting 'till winter. Just when I thought my credit card was going to get a break for a few months Ernie has to go and put my seat covers on sale for $206!
