Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
I just want to post about a great experience I recently had with Snyder's. I placed an on-line order and realized the next day I forgot a very small item that I was hoping to include in the box to avoid double shipping cost.
A wonderful young lady, Denise, answered and said they were having issues with their servers and would check that the item was in stock and then try to get it included in the order. An hour later, she called me and said all is good and she was able to get it in the box before it shipped. I know there are other great Model A vendors out there, but I thought this customer service deserved to be recognized. |

Denise has been very helpful to me as well. I like the way she giggles too.

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
I agree Tim. Excellent service should be recognized. I have dealt with Snyders quite a bit and they are always great. Snyders and Brattons get most of my business for this reason.

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
Put Berts on that list too!
The Big 3 to me. Also Joe at Tam’s does a great job. |

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
Yes, I agree with all of the other vendors mentioned. I didn't want to cloud the excellent service provided by Denise, but agreed with all of the vendors mentioned. I've also had wonderful service from Branton's, Tam's, Bert's, and Smith & Jones

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
Snyder's is great. But then again, so is Bert's who just recently helped me a lot. We are very fortunate to have them all.

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
Absolutely agree. I have used them all and they are the best. Bert's is probably my favorite as he also has quality used parts. The other plus for me is if I call him early on a Saturday AM it will ship that day and I get it Monday PM if it can go USPS. I know the post office gets a lot of complaints now adays but guess one plane goes directly from Denver to Orlando then out to the local for delivery.

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
I agree with Snyders. Always have the parts, rarely a delayed shipment and very fair pricing.
I like Mikes too- but a much smaller outfit and often only has partial orders. Never have used Berts.......... Liked Macs yrs ago- but no longer use them as their shipping fees are a bit high. |

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
I cannot speak with authority as i only have very limited experience, but the two orders i placed with Syders were processed perfectly, including transport to germany. I received the parts faster than from some suppliers within germany!

I also rebuild Messerschmitts and BMW Isettas and sometimes getting anything from Germany is a task. It seems businesses and individuals go on vacations more than they work. I have had parts ordered and in stock from Germany only to have them shipped 6 weeks later. I have not experienced the German “fine oiled machine” I learned about in Highschool years ago… Last edited by Utopia Texas; 01-14-2022 at 08:03 PM. |

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
50 years ago I delete with an older gentleman, he would buy out Ford dealerships old obsolete parts. I would sit with him and talk about everything after 45 minutes he would ask what are you here from! We would then go picking the part, followed by looking at his collection of cars, a good time for a teenager!

Well thanks to Fedex and similar. My last shipment arrived here between 48 or 72h after placing the order with Snyders. If the german supplier chooses a snail mail transporter, that delivery may take 4 days... |

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
Hello thanks for asking, I am retired , all ways looking for road trip, lots to see a Synders also, if getting tires or new head worth while drive and good restaurant in Columbania The Dutch House ,and it’s actually a 4 hour round trip. One thing I like about Snyders they will give a fair assessment of some of the repro parts , front fenders for example, the will fit but will need work around splash apron shield, they just don’t bolt on.

An update: I decided last weeks wednesday evening that i would overhaul my front brakes with new drums, linings and everything else. I placed the order for most of the parts with Snyders but a few items were not available, so i placed a smaller order with a german supplier. I just came back from a few days holiday in Berlin and guess what: the shipment from Snyders was already waiting a my doorstep... |

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
Snyder's service has always been great. But living in California I save money on shipping and get faster service from Sammy at Arizona Model A.

BTW, I have been dealing with Sammy for at least a decade and we have visited several times. I appreciate not only his service but his honest advice too. He has forgotten more about Model As than I will ever know.

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
You can find his phone number on the web but he is a low key one man band - just how I like it. No website like the others. His number is 480-782-0266

Holidays can be hard work, especially with a family.

Well, the germans are, hard-working when not on holiday... or so i hear... 30 days holiday plus about 7 days per year (christmas, easter,...), but still our efficiency is way higher than some other western states. |

Another thing I like about Snyder's is that they carry T and A parts. This sometimes helps me with shipping costs.

Re: Kudos to Snyder's- Good vendor alert
Tams, Snyders, Berts. Had good luck with all of these.
Recent conversation with Joe ("Tam") about stainless steel spark/throttle rods. "They're in short supply, yunno, anything stainless. But lets make sure I get the right ones before I back order. Measurement is 5-1/4 between rod and end of "handle." (Makes sense since the center "clicker" is larger on 28-29) "Yunno, these are possibly more than 2x the cost of the chrome or nickle - are you sure you want them?" Order made, but no confirmation subsequent - but a call later indicated they had my wrong Email Address (I was hacked) "They went out Tuesday without the confirmation." I miss Tam at Epping Motor Speedway. I think he does Fitchburg mostly now as its closer to home for him. Joe K

'a week' is maximum if you decide to use 'standard service' with UPS or Fedex, if you are prepared to pay more, you get it faster... shortest, as i said, is 'place the order on thursday' and 'open the parcel on monday' for about €80,- extra. |
