How many vendors in Southern Ontario that specialize, or at least one of their 3 main product lines are parts for 3rd Gens?

I am particularly interested in vendors in the GTA- but would like to know of any out there.

Only ones I know of are Paradise Alley (a bit high priced I've found) and a guy who started out selling Rustang stuff in Brampton and has recently added "Camero" - yes that is how he spelled it- to his sign.

There was a couple of guys in Concord a few years ago that ran a small parts business from their cell phones- are they still around?

 

Maybe we should have a list of vendors/suppliers and our ratings of them..I for one takes forever to price thirdgen parts/service since theyre all spread out over Ontario

Thje guy in Brampton is a waste of your time. Besides, anyone that can't spell the car's name right doesn't deserve your business. There is another place called Camaro Heaven in Newmarket. They mostly deal with 2nd and 1st gens. But they will help you out with the 3rd Gen stuff. The guy I dealt with was Richard.

I hear Canadian Tire carries some 3rd gen stuff if u need, just ask them to check, and if they got it, they will order it for u.

 

Canadian tire is an excelant place to order your part's from they deal with the same main supplier that all the small speed shop's deal with and they are a lot easier to return unneeded/incorrect part's to than one of the small independant shop's .The only downside to using them is that the odd's of finding somebody that can reccomend something specific for your car is pretty slim. Chances are though you will know what part's you want and they will let you look through there cataloque. The longest any of my special order part's have taken is a week and a half Hope that help's you out SR

 

Actually, I was talking about people that deal in parts specific to 3rd Gens. i.e. body, trim and accessory pieces or heavy assemblies like rear ends- the performance aftermarket (i.e. mechanical) parts guys are a dime-a-dozen.

Just for anyone who cares- the distributor Snowracer is referring to is called "Keystone Distribution" and is based out of Pennsylvania ('The Keystone State')- they are the guys that bought the Performance Improvements chain out a couple of years ago (PI got 90% of their parts from them anyways). The newer "Parts Pro" set of franchises (signed up dozens of Ontario independant shops who are now considered 'franchised' with them)- I'm not sure where they get their parts. If it's also Keystone, I'm guessing this is why we tend to take it from behind on performance part pricing around Toronto.

I was unaware of 'Camaro Heaven' -do they operate a wrecking yard or an office or both?

 

They are sorta like Paradise Alley I believe and a shop. I haven't actually been there, just talked to them on the phone. THey have contacts with several wrecking yards.
