Title: Local speed shop
Post by: thunderjet302 on January 19, 2008, 04:55:34 PM
Just wondering but does anyone have a local speed shop they get their parts from? I have one that is about 8 blocks from my house. The place is a Ford Racing dealer too :D . The guy who runs the place is nice and a big Mopar nut (he really doesn't like Chevys but he sells parts for them lol). Besides Mopar and FRPP stuff the guy can get anything Summit or Jegs has and, get ready for this, it cost the same as it does from either place or sometimes even less! Plus I always pay in cash so no taxes :banana: I go there and pay less than I would for stuff from summit plus I get it in a day with no shipping cost :D Here's his website: http://www.chicagoconnection.us/

So does anyone else have a local speed shop that they like?

Autozone,Ebay.Autozone can get Summit parts and some FRPP parts here in town,Or,I can just open the Summit catalog and do it myself.They ship fast.Most stuff I find on Ebay and have been lucky to get great deals most all of the time.Patience really pays off on this.

local Auto Value(was Bumper to Bumper) where my bro works.  I get yer usual parts with discounts. :)  No speed shops nearby.  Twin cities may be the closest.  About 300 miles away.  Gotta love the internet and UPS/Fedex.
