[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 2036, member: 109"] [b]The things I like about Vinparts.....[/b] Unfortunately I still have to work for a living, and long hours at that (pause for sympathy). This means my Vincenteering is evenings and weekends. I like a lot about VinParts - but especially the fact that Russ offered me the chance to ring him in the evening for a chat and advice, and we chat by email late into the evening, and then when I needed something special he turned it up on the lathe for me overnight, charged me no extra and posted it the very next morning to get me on the road. When I have a special problem I email him a picture and get advice by return - I'm a fan. I've bought stuff from the Spares Company too, no problems, arrived promptly, wrong stuff was exchanged no issue so it's not that there are any problems - just that Russ and VinParts suits me, that's all. As I'm the customer - I can choose - great isn't it. All thing being equal I like the personal service and so on balance VinParts gets my vote from my own experiences. I haven't got around to comparing the products from one to another (others have told me there can be differences), or the prices either for that matter. Special bits like Tyres and Chains I buy elsewhere - and hope that neither VinParts or the Spares Company are offended - because the specialists in that field can do just so much better on price. So, you takes your money and makes your choice - I just think it is fabulous there are so many to choose from - when I was last involved in Vincents in the 1970's it was the Jolly Thresher Garage or nothing.
