Does anyone of a good mustang parts store in or near San Jose? I use to go to mustangs plus, but i seem to have a problem with ever item i buy there. its a 1 1/2 - 2 hr drive one way, so its a little too far. Every time i have to return something, i have to pay shipping to send it back. It sucks.

If someone can let me know of the best and closest store, that would be great.

Thanks everyone!

Those are the two I know about closer than Mustangs Plus, there may be more.

Those are much closer, although their catalog of parts doesn't seem as big. This really sucks because i like amount of parts mustangs plus carries, but its too far of a drive in case i need to return something, and 1/2 of the items i bought there, there has been something wrong with it.

Just curious as to what type of parts and problems you have had with Mustang Plus? what year Mustang?

I have tried the Dublin shop years ago which I think is near the Post Office and across from the big shopping Mall. Had the parts I needed but not on display as the showroom is very small. They seem to use the web site as their catalog.

An electric antennae i bought burned out on me after 2 month. The box was a little beat up, but it worked fine. They said i can't return it, so i ended up sending it to the manufacture.

An air cleaner i bought had a huge scratch around it. They were willing to take it back, but i have to ship it back on my own expense. $60 air cleaner, and $13 shipping. Not cool.

A monte carlo bar i ordered didn't fit my mustang, and it was more expensive than a better quality one.

The shop is about 1 1/2 - 2 hours away, and its hard for me to find time in my schedule to go up there, especially with their limited hours. (M-F 9AM to 5PM, Sat 8-12, Sun - Closed, and sundays the best day for me) So everything i buy, if i need to return it, end up having to be shipped. Shipping heavy car parts is not cheap.

My car is a 1969 Ford Mustang Coupe

They are very friendly and helpful, don't get me wrong. Its just, i live a little far away, and something always happens upon buying a product from there.

Thanks for the info. I live 2800 miles from MP and would not want to have to ship bad parts at my expense. I had that hassle with Dallas Mustang and Virginia Mustang back in the 1980s and dropped them from my list. I use NPD-CA and Larrys with no problem now. I do get up to the Bay Area sometimes and was thinking of dropping in to Mustang Plus shop.

So does anyone know any websites to get car parts? Especially restomod parts?

Have no idea where Ventura is in relation to San Jose, but I buy all my parts from NPD.

NPDLink | National Parts Depot

I know you're looking for someplace local, but as far as good quality parts, great prices, and excellent customer service I would recommend Virginia Classic Mustang. I have orderd literally thousands of dollars in parts from them and have never had to send any parts back.

If anyone else is looking for parts in their area check out the map, it took me days to put together but it shows all (so far and what I know of) Mustang parts companies around the world.
