Bert's Model A
Do they not do business over the phone? I totally hate having to open an account when I want to order something, doesn't matter where. When I have to, to get what I want to order, I order somewhere else.

Of course they do business over the phone. Did you have trouble getting through?

Re: Bert's Model A
They always answer the phone. They are closed Sun & Mon. I usually get Steve the owner when I call, great company to deal with.

Re: Bert's Model A
I suggest driving over phone. 15 hours from Chicago. Just seeing the place will cheer you up.

Re: Bert's Model A
Sometimes Berts actually has more than 2 or 3 calls at once. Imagine that. So my call will go to a msg machine or just rings. When that happens I try to remember that I too am an "OCF" and will call back later. Also they are in different time zone. Berts is unique in that even newbies get to speak to Steve. They try hard to give good service.

Marc, I think it was stated as a question. Maybe I missed something. Rod

Re: Bert's Model A
I too have ordered from them on the phone. They have lots of original parts. Not cheap, but good stuff.

Re: Bert's Model A
I have visited Steve at Bert's. They take time to talk and are very interested in what you have to say. I got to look around their parts as well. They are the best!

Re: Bert's Model A
I see that someone mentioned that they are not the cheapest. This is a great hobby for at least 99% of us. The price of our toys pales next to having a good source for new and used parts, someone that knows what they are talking about on the other end of the phone and actually reads the Barn and knows where the wind is blowing.
If one needs the cheapest price there are always those that will be happy to help sell them lesser quality goods. Let's support the good guys, not only Bert's..... we all know they are. |

Re: Bert's Model A
Morning Bill....not the jug, but the needle, Novocain needle. Bad timing. I just don't care to open an account to order something on line. The buyer should have the option to open and account or not. I have enough passwords to remember now.
Everyone here seems to have their favorite place to order parts from, some patronize all the dealers for different reasons. Some places have things other places don't. When I first started getting parts for my A, I started with Snyder's and I've had no problems at all. Two states away and items are here two days later and I'm sure other dealers are just as good but, I've read that Bert's refurbished Zenith carburetors come highly recommended and I want one. I have followed most everyone's advice since joining the forum and I've not been told wrong. So I will call in my order to Bert's like I do so many other places for items that do require opening an account, saves time, frustration and......insures security...IMO. As I asked in my initial post, if they take orders over the phone, some places don't, strictly on-line web-site. Welcome back................Hope you are back for good. Ed
