I am trying to order some stuff (door hinges and other) from Brookville. Mailed to 3 different people, called them twice but I do not get a quote / order confirmation...
Does anybody knows whats going on over there???

I had the same problem !
Seems they can't be arsed to reply to international enquires.

I know it's not an easy option but Home grown hotrods in the UK stock some of there stuff

You could ask them at Snyders

well, they don't care if it's international or not when you buy the whole body!! then they anser and take your credit card informations!!

 

The Founder, Ray Gollahon, died recently. However, what info I have seen says his son is a long time major factor in the business and will continue running it.

I can't imagine anything major or disasterous happening at Brookville Roadster even with the passing of Ray Gollahan. As stated, Kenny has been virtually at the helm for the last few years so everything should remain as usual.

Ive used this guy for brookville stuff, his name is Ken, a real nice guy.

 

ordered via Amazon.com, thanks!
BUT: the parts are delivered directly by Brookville and they don't ship overseas!!! what year are we living in...
so I have it delivered to my Buddy's home in CT and he will ship it over to Switzerland.
Again: thanks for your help!

 

Brookville works through dealers for international sales. They should have refered you to a European distributor at least. With all the scams these days it's hard to risk shipping internationally to an unknown individual.

And the only "chick" involved at Brookville (in management) is Ray's wife - who was right beside him banging out parts and traveling to events since day one - 38 years qualifies her I'm sure. Don't start stupid rumors.

 

call up Mac's or Snyder's....you can have your stuff by tomorrow

 

Everything is going great at Brookville Roadster. We have had record breaking sales in 2010 and hope to continue to build on the momentum going into 2011. We do ship overseas and i regret that no one replied back to you. Sometimes cutsomer emails get lost in the spam filter and we do not recieve them. I am not sure what happened in this case. We do encourage you to order through our dealer network but we will be happy to assist you in any way possible. Brookville Roadster is looking forward to a great 2011. Even though we have lost our founder we will continue forward with the excellent customer service, outstanding business ethics and quality street rod products.

THanks
Kenny Gollahon, President
Brookville Roadster

 

And there it is! Now that's service.

 

Kenny,

You continue to impress me. I love Brookville!

What a load of tosh , so your saying they have to know you before they'll send anything you've paid for ? in case it's a scam

Oh yea i'll jump on a plane , move in down the street and pop in to say hello each morning for a year before moving back to Europe and placing an order with the comforting knowledge that my new mates at Brookville will gladly sell there preciouse US metal to me.

Oh wait a minuite i have a job ! damn i'll just have to go without.

 

X2 on Ken ...good guy.

 

I want a spam filter for my phone calls, too. ???

 

With El Presidente himself online...I'm curious, how many complete and maybe complete but knocked down roadster bodies have you made now? I have a fairly early one in the garage, and suspect the number made since then is quite high!

 

The intl. sales issue does exist, and at least it should be acknowledged.
Could you cash this check and pay the shipping out of it???

 

international sales is not a problem the small minds make it out to be , we have never had any issues with car guys overseas. we can not understand we most of the rod shops will not ship outside the usa, h$%^ they wont even ship to canada which is real easy.

 

You might want to try Mac's Antique Auto Parts in Lockport, New York. I've had luck with them.

 

Obviously you don't read through the previous posts before YOU spout off a "load of tosh"......your disrespectful attitude and sarcasm in this instance are to your discredit.

Ray

 

Kenny, Does it matter if we buy parts from you or one of your dealers? I bought a pair of brackets from Snyders and asked if they were Brookville made, guy said they were, so I bought them. If all goes well they will be on my doorstep tomorrow.

 

I really did not want to start a discussion about how the business is going - I am sure it's going great 'cause the body(s) are great!! Mine too;-)

And I am impressed that the President of Brookville "answers" here to my question, thank you for that!

We don't have a Brookville dealer here in Switzerland (7 million people and around 30-50 running hot rods!!) so we are used to look for parts all over the world and pay huge shipping costs!! I bought several hot rods, engines, paletts of parts from various dealers in the US, WITHOUT seeing or touching the stuff. Beliefe me, it's not that easy to push a button and wire thousands of $$$'s and then hoping that the car is coming in about 2 months with a container to my door.

I really don't see a possible danger for suppliers to ship parts overseas. We give them the credit card informations and this money is "insured" by the CC companies! We are taking the risk not the suppliers in the US.

BTW: the overseas buyers might be an additional income for them. We buy nearly for "every price", just to get the parts...so treat us well and we are very grateful customers.

Again, I was just wondering why I did not get answers and nobody told me on the phone or in a mail that they don't ship overseas. I am happy to get the parts and then work over the winter to change the hidden door hinges to more original.

Thanks for you help guys!

 

Obviously you don't read all the posts as you would have seen my reply with a link to someone In Europe who can supply Brookville parts.
I was just pointing out that your not going to ever sell internationaly with the attitude that you won't ship because you don't know them.
Long live Brookville
