417 Auto Parts

HAve any of you Ottawa guys ever been to 417 Auto Parts. Its located on Boundary road at Mitch Owens road near the towns of Russell and Edwards. I have not been there for years and I'm wondering what their collection of F bodies is like.

It's been 4 years since the last time I was there.I'm not sure what their current selection is like.Has anyone ever tried Paradise Alley in Toronto.I called a few years ago and they wanted $800 for a set of GTA front seats.

I've called Paradise Alley many times but never bought anything. The guy seems to think that his cars are gold plated or something. If you absolutely need the part then he will likely have it... just realise that he wants double what everyone else wants (like the $900 he wanted for polished GTA rims).

417 Auto has no real selection of F-body parts available. Paradise Alley is just a headscatcher. The guys want as much or more than GM original.

Paradise alley is a rip off,I went down there to have a look around, I asked him if he had any front marker lenses for a camaro,he had a set he recently pulled from a Iroc, he wanted $70.00 for them,i got a new set from GM for 94.00.I told him that I could get them from GM for 25 bux more. he didn't care.

I bought my car from Paradise Alley (price was good probably because he didn't have man hours into parting it out)but prices after that have been out to lunch!!
