I've gotten things off of Ebay, from Tony's parts, Herb's and Dante. I havn't had a bad experience from any of them.

I've had great experiences with Herb's, Jack's and Dante in the past. Herb's I use mostly, very friendly over the phone to talk too, very pleasant buying experience..

Should be allowed to vote for more than one, there's only one on there I wouldn't buy from...and I think the poll will tell that for me

I've been to Tony's place and had a great time a few years ago when I went to pick up some glass for my road runner and just this past Spring I met Dante at his house to pick up some things for the GTX. You couldn't meet any better Mopar guys and there's others on that list above so how can you only be allowed one choice and then my local Advance Auto team (men and woman BTW) that have the Friday night cruise (and donate the collection and 50/50 to kids charity is not on the list and.......

If you're in the Mopar hobby you can't single out just one of those on the list they all support us and do a darn good job

Dante has the best customer service by far.

i think this really depends on whether or not you are looking for NOS or repro. i am big with finding NOS parts so dantes is out, herbs is out, jack yes, tony sometimes for really good used parts. Ebay has been really good with NOS finds and JIMS IS A DISGRACE TO THE MOPAR COMMUNITY AND THE ABSOLUTE WORST TO DEAL WITH!!!!!!!

I would buy from any of the above listed, except Jim's. I'm tempted to try, but afraid of getting screwed.

Really the answer depends on for what kind of parts you're looking? NOS? Good, used? New soft parts?

Here are my recommendations out of those listed:

Dante is the class of the industry and if you need anything Legendary, he's your guy. As stated, honesty and unsurpassed customer service from just an all-around nice person.

Tony's Parts is great for nearly impossible to find clean used parts, some NOS, and Mopar tech information, knowledgeable customer service, and a history of trustworthiness and honesty . You call his phone number, and Tony answers the phone. Try that with some "other" suppliers! Another credit to the hobby and his industry, Tony is an all-around amicable guy.

Jack's Auto Parts is another good supplier - especially for new and repro parts. I used them countless times when I was pouring money into my Road Runner. Reasonable prices and a wealth of Mopar knowledge make him a can't miss guy. Use the Year One catalog to look up the parts you need and then call them up.

Dante is among my favorites. I have bought from Herb's and had good service. Regarding Jack's and Jim's, here is a little Moparts Math Facts someone posted that may be helpful.

Jack=4 letters=GOOD
Jim=3 letters=BAD

Jim Filmore and Jules the Wiperman are great also though they aren't on your list.

Basically, I have used all but Jim's. You are going to have to as well since none have everything you will need. I look at all of them before I buy. I also have bought from Hoover in Idaho. It all depends on who has it, how far away are they and when do I need it. If any of them were here in town, I would go there first.

I hate to say this out loud but how about Year One.

I used to think that Year One was the big guy on the block and only really rich guys ordered from them. Since I have started putting my 'Cuda back together, they have been very competitively priced. They have a no question return policy and their catalog is worth the 10 bucks alone for all the detailed information, reference pictures, and drawings. Their web site has wish lists to help organize your parts and makes suggestions for related parts. They still may not be the cheapest on the block, but they have enough going for them that they do warent a call out.

Megaparts has always been a pleasure to deal with! Having dealt with Jim's once - I've learned my lesson - got a good long look at my ankles. . . .

I've been happy w/ Y1 too, & their prices (inc shipping) can be pretty competitive when using their 20% off codes.
