PG Classics quality

[dodge68charger]

Ready to go on a shopping spree (been a while) and i came across pg classics and really like their prices compared to yearone, hood turn signals $195 compared to $315. Is the pg stuff any good. i know yearone has huge markup but still curious as to the quality of their stuff compared to be&a or herbs

My PG expierience was not so good.Ordered some b body seat covers for a 2 dr hardtop.They sent stuff for a convertible,back seat is shorter on a vert.Called got some gal that had a hard time with english,finally got to talk with the owner and his english wasnt a whole lot better and ended up eating the shipping both ways which by the way aint cheap from the states to canada just to get the puchase price back.So there customer service sucks.I will never buy another thing from them again.

The BEA stuff is the same stuff only sold state side.

Most of their stuff is the same repros everyone carries. I bought a steering wheel and some door lock knobs... all went fine in my case. I seem to remember their prices were pretty good on those items.

I have had good experience with them. Customer service was good the one time I had an issue. Many of their products come from China; some are drop shipped directly from China.
I have found that as a general rule of thumb when dealing with any company is that the lowest cost is low for a reason.

I recieved a new dash pad with a covered over rusted core from them last year. Customer service was horrid. They can keep their junk up in Nova Scotia, I'll never order from them again. Like tpodwdog said.....what kind of professional business can't spell or maintain fluent wording on the only medium that broadcast's what they sell. Obviously it's the tip of the iceburg......and yes, typically you get what you pay for........

We have come across businesses where the staff do not have a comprehensive command of the English language.
We have a business here that makes boat covers, all sorts tents, auto upholstery.
Some of the best workmanship I have seen. Work for us was excellent.
There was a bit of a language barrier, had repeat my self. He hadn’t been in Canada very long but he was trying!
There are people on this site that I believe have ancestors going back to 1700’s possibly that can’t spell very well either. Some of them are in 60’s. I would still communicate with them.

Peter Gee is not involved with the business anymore. Sold out years ago I believe.
The new owners are in Ottawa.
66-7 Charger instrument panel is an example I will use.
Mike at BEA started making them(if I remember correctly) could be wrong. When they arrived, I had to do a little tweaking, filing to get them to fit correctly. Maybe an hour of my time. Following ones took less time.
Before that I bought taillight lenses from Mike. PG bought in, sold them also.
Mike and PG had the best lenses. At that time two others made them didn’t last long before they were unavailable.
I have an acquaintance that that bought some things from PG, wasn’t really happy, seemed that emailing worked better than phone calls. That was a much better method.

Mike never made the parts. Mike was the US overseer, the quality control guy who made sure they fit and also the guy who got the Mopar licensing so they could be reproduced accurately with part numbers. Tooling was then adjusted to make better parts. Peter was the “China connection” where all of it was made and ran his business separate as PG classics. Mike invested money and his time cause he is a real car guy.

The taillights I still have are in the boxes from BE&A. Got them near the end. I arranged to get an order together for 13 sets for others and our selves. All were preordered. A friend in Ontario drove across to visit a relative in Buffalo and picked them up there. Those were the simpler days.
All costs were shared equally by the purchasers, l think we averaged the shipping costs. Not positive, might have been actual costs of shipping to each location.
Agree that Mike is a real car guy. Communicated with him years ago. He also knows Wes and Geri Pieper very well. They have a 70 Charger and 66 Chargers. Were very active in the SanAntonio Mopar Club.
