Kanter Auto Products has been in business since 1960 which is no surprise to me after being there to help a family member get a shaft and rocker arms for his 1960 Continental. I have to tell you their office is the coolest place if you’re a car lover — there are all sorts of Packard memorabilia and, as a lady, I was treated with the utmost respect. If you’re a girl, you’ll know what I mean — most of the time «car places» are not where we meet with any degree of respect. Well, Kanter is different — I had an awesome experience here. The office isn’t big but it’s busy. These folks have all the replacement parts for American cars and trucks from antiques to the 1930 – 1986 years. You go to the office to place your order and then you take a short drive to the warehouse which is an experience in itself. On the 2^nd floor of a huge 19^th century building that had to be a factory once, you enter an open room where no one is. Just all sorts of stuff and no one’s there. OK, you see a guy in the back and he tells you to go over there. Over there you find the office and no one notices you. This is really amusing — there are 2 guys in a tandem office set up and they’re both on the phone talking to cutomers non stop. They’re not rude — they’re just so obsessed talking to a customer about cars that you can understand it. The minute they notice you (and it only took a couple), a gentleman stands up and I’m the only focus he has. Customer service is truly excellent. He gets someone else to help me right away and pretty soon I’m travelling from one end of the place to another. Then I’m waiting a few minutes to get it all and during that time out of nowhere 2 people walk by asking me if I need any help. This was definitely a trip back to 1960. They were all happy, they were all polite and the place is filled to the brim with tons of parts. It’s a blast just to walk up and down the ailses seeing that all these things exist and some are even still made in the US. The place works like a clock. I was there only about 20 minutes and UPS truck after UPS truck was coming up to the loading bay carting away delivery boxes. This place was like a trip back in time and it was fun. This is a place where they don’t think I’m weird because I love talking about cars and engines. That’s all they do after all. The parts I came back with were a perfect match for the originals my family member took out of the engine. So if you love old American cars or trucks, have one and need a part, get in touch with this place. It’s great. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I’m not experienced enough on these things.
