With no wars intended, and no negative comments or experiences.........I just want to know where the people of Calgary go to buy parts, get installs, etc. Just give/click the Name of the shop. Thats all:thumbsup:

The reason for this is because I heard that a couple of people from the states are planning to open up a new shop in Calgary

you should allow multiple votes, some people shop at more than one very regularly

I ordered some energy suspension engine mounts from AutoZeal -about three months ago..*sigh*. They are supposedly either stuck at the border or in production, so I'm hoping they might come in before next summer. :rolleyes: (no offence to anyone who works there :D(seriously, I understand shit happens, I used to work in the motorcycle biz and I know how industries like those work)

The guys at speedville were pretty darn good to me the last time I was there, Carl really went out of his way to help me out. I'd definately recommend them to others!!

oh man....
my springs are on the 4th month of waiting from autozeal, and dont even get me started on carl

Kevie88: he's a good guy, and he'll give you AMAZING deals, but i wont be going back again. and neither will the other 274 people he's pissed off. i can honestly write you a list in another thread of about 10 customer rides he's f*cked up...

Ya I actually heard Canadian Tire has a catalog with all Ricer stuff in it...... You can't actually get it in the stores, but you can order it out of their catalog....... They have like EVERYTHING apparently, I haven't seen this for myself but I thought it would be interesting.......


Sorta like walmarts "car section"

Crap Tire i went there.. and i said gimme your iridium plugs... and the guy sat there and siad... what is that? some type of precious metal? i go spark plugs you have them.. he said are you sure? i've never heard of iridium... i gave him the part number and he types it in.. and voila.. and then he goes... these must be new... is this a new technology... ? btw i bought them like 3 times there and they always charge me for 2 (one pack) only because they can't count.

the parts guys at crappy tire are pretty useless. last week i went there for a exhaust gasket. i give the guys the specs. 2.5" piping, bolt type, space between the holes,...etc. so then the guy asks me which car it was for. i siad "subaru" he types it in his computer comes back with a stock gasket. i told him i needed a 2.5" one with the specs i gave him. he siad he didn't have a listing for it. then i asked him to take a quick look because it can't be that hard to find.... he was too lazy to go take a look so he just told me to go to their back parts room to look for it myself. sure enough i did find the right ones.

shortly after i find the gasket he tells me i should go look at their car section... they just got some new products in.... MY GOD WTF:madred:
