    I've been pleased with the few A parts I've bought from them. As described and quick ship.

    The smart advice is to buy your parts from someone who has them in stock, answers the phone promptly and will give good service. I recommend Snyders
     

  7. X2 and also Mike's affordable...

  8. I ordered 34 3W rocker panels from them on July 1st. 6 working days later they arrived and look good. That's my recent deal with them. I'd do it again...

    I have placed 3 orders this year and received all of them within a couple of days
     
  10. I ordered some smooth running boards from them a few months back. They came quite promptly and fit good. Well made.

    They make the best parts and panels. Period. They supply a lot of the other companies out there with parts. They do get backed up... But hey if u want quality your gonna have to wait. My good buddy works there, I drop in very often to say hi . They are always busy so that's a good sign right there

    Ordered from them many a time over the years.Like everyone else said,I got the parts within a week,in great condition and got helpful,friendly advice over the phone(which is the best way to deal with anyone)..Howells does supply damn near all of the Model A parts houses,so maybe thats why they take longer on out of stock items...
     
  17. I have nothing bad to say they got me my patch panels in two to three day and a really good fit.

    There should be an sellers index with star rating like the threads here. For ALL vendors. Alliance or not. Basic's: Timely delivery. Pleasant phone skills. Combined shipping. Easy to read/great photos of product online catalog. Fitment, quality, ect. Feedback baby.
