MAC's bought out
Mac's has been bought out by Ecklers. I have no experience with either so don't know what impact this might have.

Re: MAC's bought out
In November 2012, MAC’s joined the Eckler’s Family of Automotive Parts companies.

Re: MAC's bought out
I have had recent dealings with Ecklers and I could not recommend then high enough.

Re: MAC's bought out
I just ordered from mac's and received my order in three days. The shipping seemed a bit steep but the service was very good.

Re: MAC's bought out
I've purchased most of my parts from Mac's , And cannot understand the bitterness in their business. The're is few business's that completely satisfy everyone, and with new owners, they have improved there service considerably!!!
If a business does not suit your needs , go elsewhere!! I restored a 24 Model T and am presently restoring a 28 A with their parts, and frankly have had little problems.!!! |

Re: MAC's bought out
When I had my '66 Sting Ray I bought quite a few parts from Eckler's and always had good luck on service and quality. Maybe that'll transfer over to the "A" parts too!

Re: MAC's bought out
I am one that doesn't do business with Mac's anymore. One two different occasions I call to ask about what vendor made the sheetmetal part (didn't want anything from Howell's in TX). Both times with different people, a year or so apart, the person said they don't provide supplier information to customers. I just went to Bratton's, Snyder's or Bert's where they will tell you where a part was made and the quality.

Re: MAC's bought out
I purchased a rear carpet from them for my '31 TS. It doesn't fit no how, no way. I've never used it of course because it's the wrong size. They won't take it back and it's was pricey. So my $200 plus was wasted. For my two cents they can go straight to you know where. I hope I'm not offending anyone but those are the facts ma'am.

Re: MAC's bought out
I've ordered from "the new" MAC's, and while the service is excellent and very professional, I prefer to order from one of the small guys instead of supporting a big corporation that takes over small businesses like a shark. That aside, almost every other day now I now have spam from MAC's in my mailbox, and that I really dislike.
