Post subject:  Who do you use for Camaro parts
Age old repetitive question I know, but as I am new to the world of chevrolet parts supply who do you use please?
I've always ordered parts directly with USA suppliers for my mustang - there are loads of them but one stands out for service & availability and will use them ALL the time, so its not price that determines my choice - I use NPD (National Parts Depot) for everything.....

So Who do you use in the USA? I'm going to need the full range of bodywork, chrome / trims, lights, etc but nothing in the mechanical department as this Camaro is well sorted in that dept.

I know there are loads of UK suppliers as seen in the Magazines, but again, is there one that really supports the Camaro that you would use the most or do you find they're all much the same?

cheers

I always use NPD for my stuff & found them to be very helpful. JT is the man you need to speak to if you're using the Florida depot. hth

Yeah he's a really good guy, nothing was too much trouble. He showed us around the bosses collection of cars at the rear of the Ocala building when we were there last, it's like a museum of cars from almost every era. Did you get to see that??

Ha ha no.... to be honest the missus was pretty miffed at spending half a day round tripto get car spares on her holiday time so even if it were offered I don't think the pain would have offset the pleasure ;)

I don't know if it will be of any help but I use www.ss396.com for almost all of my stock parts. I do not know how the international shipping works since I just have it shipped to base. But they are usually pretty good on their prices

Hi I would like to add my vote to the JT appreciation society

the main reason why NPD are so much better than Rock Auto for e.g is that he bills you later for the shipping in separtate invice so that you don't end up paying VAT and duties on the total parts and shipping in one go!!

well done JT
