I must share an experience I just had with Mikes-AFordable, vendors name is Kelly Lindeman. Need a part I've been shut-down, they had a broken kit and so they've send the parts, and I don't have a bill!!

They have send it before I have paid them -- how many times has this happen to anyone?

Renners Garage sends carb parts along with an invoice and you mail them a check. I couldn’t believe it the first time I ordered. Apparently Model A guys are pretty trustworthy, which is a great thing!

Good folks at Mikes...

I order my Model A parts from Sam at Arizona Model A.
Parts ship immediately...with Bill inside. Pay when you get the part.
Actual shipping charges only. A real good guy.
Model A people,...can’t beat them!

TAMS in MA is the same. Parts right out. CC on file and Joe and Joanne are great to deal with. Bill

My experiences have been positive with all Model "A" parts dealers, and especially my local dealer, Bobby Bee Automotive, 380-B Central Avenue in Bohemia, NY 11716, 631-256-0030. Bobby Bee has a lot of original stuff as well as repro stuff, and on many many occasion he has gone overboard to help me and our local club. Walter Bratton has come to my rescue several times.

Like choosing a place to have a pizza, everyone has their favorite. I have found Bert's to have everything I needed and shipped quickly. Especially when I was looking for a Brass Works radiator.

I have to say, all the vendors I’ve been dealing with the past year have all been great with info, returns, etc. Great folks!

My go-to guys are Berts and Snyders, exceptional service, but all I've used have been good. Only negative experiences I've had were with Mac's, and Darwin spoke.

I agree that Sam at Arizona Model A is a good vendor. Nice people who know a lot about the business. Very helpful if you have questions.

Mike’s Afordable… Have used this company for several years. Always a positive experience.
