Who here has dealt with them? Please share your experience. I'm thinking of using them as their prices seem reasonable.

Providing you get your parts in a timely fashion, (which you should) the
bottom line is the determining/most important factor.

I agree. They charge shipping by the piece; not the order.

Good stop for a quote before putting my order in to 18carfan.

Good prices, nutty shipping like everyone else said. I remember a quote for a $1.50 piece had shipping of about $10.25 once. I went elsewhere.

Jeff Kopp (18carfan on here) is your best source for GM parts! :yesnod:

I've used them on 3-4 occasions. No problems. The shipping is high, but the price is cheaper than wholesale so they end up still cheaper than a dealer by far...

I would try 18carfan first though. I plan to next time especially since he is only 3 hours away...

I have used them also, good company. They ship on time and prices are very good. But they get you on the shipping charges. :(
