Default Have you dealt with Socalvettes?

I'm looking at making a purchase with Socalvettes and wondering if any one here has dealt with them and whether you had a good experience or not.

I made one purchase from them earlier this year and it was fine. They shipped right away and the parts were as described. Rich

I live down the street and have gotten many parts and even a project car from them, but I have been able to see them in person
Steve is a good guy and he has always treated me fairly

socalvettes.com is the website

Bought some rims from them, trough Facebook, and they were as described with very reasonable shipping. If one wanted to nit pick, they silver paint was very dry, almost flocking like (textured). I would purchase again from them if I need something.

Good to hear.
Steve's a good guy to deal with. I've bought stuff from him a few times, but have always gone down there in person.

I just bought a diff from them, haven't gotten it yet but they were very friendly and sent pictures of all I wanted, packaged it the way I wanted and sent it right away, kinda hard for me to go there when I live in Sweden but I'm hoping I get a great 3:55 diff

I will definitely note what you said about the silver paint to see what we can do to ensure that doesn't happen again.
Please use 5% off code: 5DUNTOVCF17822 with your next purchase.

I have purchased from SoCalVettes in the past - item was as described. Shipped to Canada with no problems. Would purchase from them again - top shelf seller.

Default Good Guys

I purchased many parts for two c3 projects from them. I found that Steve will work with you on the price if you have a shopping list of parts. He sold me a 69 big block hood for a very good price! They have a ton of parts as well as a few project cars.
