Props for Athey's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WRMZ71 · 03-29-2005, 01:26 AM

I just wanted to give a public props out to Mr.Athey at Athey's classic trucks. I'm sure some of you noticed that this month he has been offering 10% off of online orders. Being I'm in the midst of a major rework on mine I couldn't afford to pass up such a good deal. I really wasn't in any big hurry besides beating the March 31st deadline but once on order Mr. Athey was very quick and courteous to answering a few questions I had sent him through the email. Once the parts were ordered (about $1150 worth of stuff to include 3 big truck freight items) it only took 9 days to get it all boxed up and shipped half way cross the country in perfect condition with a good explanation and when i could expect the one last item that didn't show. Dealing with somebody quick, professional, and courteous makes it so much easier dropping your dimes. Nothing like a 67-72 good ol boy board to help a guy out when he needs it. So once again Mr. AThey thumbs up

and if anybody out there needs to order stuff for cheap and needs someplace reliable then don't be afraid to give him a shout.

Yup, Bill is one of this board's best kept secrets probably because of the low-keyed manner in which he does business. He lets his customer's speak for him, glad to see this post!

I will definitley speak up for Bill. He's great to deal with. Every time I have called up, he has personally answered the phone and helped me with any questions I had. I only live 1.5 to 2 hours from his business, so every single order has arrived next day. I plan to make a trip up to his place sometime in the future.

I guess, I'll fourth that. Great to do business with. Just placed my second order with him. I see many more down the road.

I'll put my vote for Bill in too. I haven't tried mail order because it's not that far for me to drive up there. If anybody has the chance you should go meet Bill in person. Everytime I've been there I didn't want to leave...

Very easy to do business with, highly recommended.

Thanks Guys for all the kind compliments, It was a pleasure doing business with all of you and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you.

I'll chime in allso,I was in need of an alt. bracket and he hooked me up with 1 in no time.

Botietruck · 04-30-2005, 09:21 PM

I'll have to put in my 2 cents. Bill has helped me out many times. I've told him more than one time, I sure wish I would have found out about Athey's Classic truck Parts years ago. As far as I'm concerned, he's got the best thing going on Chevy Trucks!
Bill, Keep up the good work!
