US GM parts vendor?

Shane Finn · August 22, 2005, 06:06:49 PM

I recall at some of the club meetings mention of a GM parts distributor in the USA that has a good reputation for looking after Aussie vette enthusiasts.

Would someone please post the contact details.

the dealer is Connell GM their email is wearegm@aol.com he is a contact of John Mafrici but I have used them twice with excellent service, the particular guy who looked after us passed away recently but John has another contact there whose name escapes me, hope that helps

i use ecklers they give our club members a really good discount

Yep but they only sell a small number of OEM parts. The rest are after market stuff. I need some OEM parts.

The one I gave you is in California

Yep found it.

I spoke to them this morning and they are very helpful. The gentleman who has taken over from Tom is Aaron. He is reachable on the same address as mentioned: wearegm@aol.com. Be sure to mention that you are from the Australian Vette club and he will apply extra discounts.

Many thanks to all.

I have looked at the ecklers site and the club site, but can't find what discount they are offering club members. How do you find out the price we pay online. :P
