Has anyone ever purchased from this place??  It's about 45 minutes from my house, and a guy I know told me it's the only place he buys his parts from..

Any experience with this shop here?

If you do business I would certainly PICK up the parts.....Inspect the part......then buy it.

I will take your advice.. If I'm going to spend any kind of $$ I'll go in person.

All the comments are true, about the place and the lady with NO personality.  Beware.  Hey, you asked.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

People have reported that prices "changed" when they went to pick up in person.    I would never do business with them.    Imagine this, you never see them face to face at a swap meet.  That should tell you something.

I ordered a trunk drop from them that is supposed to be delivered on wed. the 10th. I'll update after I take to the bodyshop that day.

Enjoy the nice lady behind the counter. Where in the Northeast are you located. I don`t have nearly the inventory they do but I also sell resto parts.

Jim's is about a 45 minute ride for me.. But if they sell crap, it's just not worth it no matter how close they are!!

charge-it

They don`t sell crap but everyone I know that has done business with them has had nothing but problems, from price changes, gouged on shipping, no returns. I had a friend drive down there from here (central Maine) and the prices had risen dramatically within two hours...I suggest if you go there make sure they have what you want in stock, get a firm price, and then run for your life. Go to moparts.com and ask they same question you asked here and you`ll see what I mean.

Anything you can get from Jim's can be found elsewhere and will be cheaper. Close or not, I wouldn't bother with them. And I too am less than an hour away from him!

Did you have your car parked outside of Fenway after a night game earlier this summer?

Nope, not me.. So far the car's only been out of my garage to my buddy's shop 3 miles away.. I know who owns the car you saw though.......

Sorry to say but I'd never park anywhere in Boston..

nh_mopar_fan

Oh, he wasn't going very far from it.  ;)

It would make me nervous enough to have the thing parked out there when the game lets out.

Way too many idiots/drunks/Yankee fans....

You've got that right!! That pretty much narrows it down to EVERY NIGHT in Boston.. Which is why I'm glad I'm not that close to the City..I think the place is a trash can.

That's a bad analogy. I heard someone fart in church once and I almost herniated myself from laughing so hard. Actually, I almost herniated myself from trying not to laugh.

I bought sun visors and a imitation "Tuff" steering wheel about 6 years ago from them, everything was fine except the steering look like someone hit it with a box cutter.  nice little slice in it no one could explain.  :down:

the woman is not nice at all - would never buy from them - the prices on the web site are wrong - when you call and ask for the price - it has increased alot - she wouldn't even give me a price on shipping and then she hung up on me - how do they stay in business??

I wonder if she's related to Hans at HLPAG?? Sounds like they do business the same way.

The trunk extension I ordered from them showed up at the bodyshop as scheduled, yesterday afternoon. My one and only purchase with them.
