Default Canadian parts

Just got a 76 stingray and am wondering where in Canada you guys buy parts? I was going to use corevettedepot.ca but heard horrible reviews. Are there others?

Looking for a set of the replica wheels.

I’ve had my 71 for a few years and I’ve tried to use Canadian and local corvette parts stores but they just can’t compete.

I know this doesn’t help you but I live in Vancouver and I ship everything to Blaine and just drive across the line and pick it up. Unfortunately you have a boat trip in there to do that…

Cheers,
Richard

And a stupid expensive boat trip at that lol.

So getting away from the "car"depot.ca sites since there like 50 and they have have horrendous reviews.

I found this place https://www.northerncorvette.com/
Not the same company as depot ones, different warehouse and location. Anyone have experience with them?

James (northern) can be hit and miss.
I've used him numerous times and have usually had great results, he bought out another company (Kens) whatever number of years ago and got all their inventory. As with the others, he also orders stuff through corvette america (top flight now). They have this deal where people like him and depot can buy from them at a lower cost and resell.
Some people have found the james prices fluctuate based on how things are going, I never found that myself but that's just me. I did find that in the last couple of years he's harder to get a hold of and hasn't been great at returning calls / emails so I'm not sure if the business took a hit during covid and it's back-burnered or exactly what's the story but I ended up going to corvette central for my last 2 orders. Your mileage might vary
