Zcar atlanta does have good prices though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Not around Atlanta but up the road in Maryville, TN. ZBarn http://www.zbarn.com specializes in Z cars and Roger usually has around 250-300 Z cars in his yard. He also sells some new parts and I found him great to deal with. I don't know what you are looking for but give him a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280kraZ Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 wow 4 acres and 400 old z cars that z barn sounds like an interesting place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I personally will never do business with Z Car Atlanta again....Roger has gotten all of my business for used parts in the past 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil1934 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Nothing on Buford Hiway, but the Pick and Pull off Moreland has about 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudeboy Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I have to agree with Brad-manQ45, if you can avoid Z-car Atlanta on Buford Highway do avoid unless it is one of those small misc parts you can not find and you can not get the part from Z-barn, MSA or Victoria British. The manager/owner is rude and snotty and he charge outlandish prices for parts. If you do go to Z-Atlanta try catch one of the young guys who are cleaning parts in the salvage yard. From time to time Eddie Radatz Motorsports may have some salvage or parts cars at his shop. His shop is up in Kennesaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil1934 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I stopped at Z car for a pair of CV axles. He quoted $100. Then came back and said another $40 for cores. Then brought them in and said he was quoting each. I got a pair for $100 elsewhere. Never trust a JY operator wearing a white lab coat.

Never trust a JY operator wearing a white lab coat.I guess I've been lucky. 2 trips there for this car (last 240 was 5 years ago). First trip, I pulled a center console, heater panel, and the radio (just for grins) out of a car in the back and he charged me $75 for everything. I only had $70 in cash, so he settled for that. 2nd trip, 2 weeks ago, I needed a new turn signal switch. My high beam wires had corroded. On the phone I was told $75 by an asian guy. When I got there, Mr. Labcoat went in the back to find one for me, and had a couple. One was broken (the other wires, I only needed the high beam portion), so he said he would give me a discount for it. I asked how much, and he said, normal price $45, but $20 for this one. Aside from his young assistant asking if my C6 corvette was a cobalt, I've had good experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Taylor Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 If you are willing to do a little driving there is a great place in Opelika, AL (about 90 miles from Atlanta). It's called Foreign Automotive Technicians. The owner's name is Ira and he has a bunch of old z's and such. Super nice guy and always very fair on whatever parts he has. If you want to get in touch with him the number is 334-742-0789. Tell him Jonathon gave you the number. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280kraZ Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 thanks again guys, Roger at Z barn wanted half of what z car atlanta wants for an exhaust manifold. I can't believe that. Roger seems like a really nice guy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
