Canadian Mustang Shops...

SheDevil · Aug 4, 2004

I wanna do the exhaust on my car but can't seem to find any sites for Canadian Mustang and/or exhaust shops. The only 3 I know of is RTM Motorsports, Steeda.ca, and Sybersport.
I'm in Winnipeg, so if there's a place around here, that'd be even better. I'm looking for a Magnaflow catback and Bassani or Magnaflow x-pipe.
Any help??

Thanks

Western Motorsports and The Mustang Shop would be good places to start.

Thanks guys...

I have another questions though. When buying stuff from the US, will I get charged by customs when I pick it up (or when they drop it off)? Or does it depend on the courier?

Hey i live in wpg and i ussually go to Corners Quickly, its a authorized ford racing store and engine builder for ford racing specific, either them or Auto Parts Center is ussually pretty good priced or Softys they've been around forever and have everything. i figured out when i was starting to look for parts that it was pretty well the same price to go in town rather than the states when you factor in shipping, duty and brockerage fees, thats all i can think of off the top of my head

If you get something shipped through the mail you have to pay the post office the GST, any duties and a $5 service charge.They usually will try to deliver it once and if you are not home they leave you a card telling you to get it at your local postal outlet.If you get it shipped UPS or FedEx You have to pay GST, any duties and a brokerage fee which generally runs about $25 plus a percentage of the value of the item.I think the most couriers try 3 times and then you probably have to pick it up somewhere.I generally try to get things shipped air mail as it is usually about as fast as the courier ground service, you pay a little more for shipping up front but you avoid the brokerage fee.

Do not use UPS use Canada Post or US Postal. I learned the hard way.....I got wheels for $350 American they got sent UPS. It was supposed to be $100 American shipping. Buddy who shipped paid an extra $65 American he says, when he shipped them, then when they came I had to pay an extra $200 Canadian and $20 for the lugs and caps, so it cost over $350 Canadian to ship. This seems wrong and I should call them but have been busy and my dad paid it or I would have not accepted without an explanation from UPS, maybe it was a mistake because the shipping was almost the cost I paid for the wheels.....sweet rims though, Centreline auto drags with BF Streets, I was told the non postal couriers charge fees that postal services do not. Just a tip, hope it saves you some money and aggravation.

no duty on cars parts....

that what high priced shops say that are local to prevent you ordering and you have to pay tax from crap you buy local also anyways....

bigbadjim · Aug 8, 2004

That's right!!! No duty on new or used car parts. Just pay the taxes..

No duty.. but when i ordered fog lights it cost me $65 for brokerage fee's.... BS, ended up costing me more for shipping than it did for the lights. this was UPS, i called and asked and they said anything coming ground service has a brokerage charge, that works on a percentage on all items over $40 (i think), even canadian or us post, i'm not sure on that but thats what my understanding was from talking to them (could be wrong on that). but as i said in my last post, in WPG there are plenty of shops that can get parts for you, for pretty well the same as goin through the states when you factor in shipping, and everything, plus if there is a defect for whatever reason, its easier taking it back to a store in town rather than having to ship it back.

Exactly, it's the brokerage charges with some shippers that's the problem--UPS is the worst. I've had great luck using USPS (US Postal Service) instead. Having said that, local vendors are great if you have to do a return or need tech support.

Best Buy Performance will get you the best deal on a magnaflow cat back. I'll get you a price and phone number tomorrow.

Where's Corners Quickley & Auto Parts Center? I've dealt with Softys before - purchased a fuel pump from 'em. They seem to have a tonne of parts, but they also have a hard time locating them because their store is a mess!

i normally order from WMS and have nothing but positive things to say about them, but I've got to bump Joe De Silva down at De Silva Racing (Mustangtoystore.com) for running a really nice shop and having great customer service.
