What clients say about Metropolitan Parts, Inc. in Hartleton (PA)
These people have been extremely nice and knowledgeable, really like doing business with them and they have a great variety of products. Look forward to doing lots of business with them.
My owned my first Met back in 2013 and Paul
and Chris not only supplied terrific parts but great and detailed advice as well. Now enjoying my second Met as of 2023, I can't say enough about the quality and responsiveness they continue to offer. Even the introduction of the Bull Dawg line of newly-machined parts has made the experience even better.
It's fair to say that it would be impossible to keep these gems on the road without Metropolitan Parts Inc.
I can't say enough good about Metropolitan Parts Inc. I have worked on multiple cars over the years, (never a Metropolitan) and now I'm retired and it's time to build my wife one. Her stepfather had owned a Metropolitan and she wanted a convertible. I just couldn't put together a deal on one so she is getting a hardtop that will be removable. The one I found wasn't in very good shape (understatement). A lot of the damage was hidden under patch panels. Also there were a lot of missing items. Having a source of parts and information to guide you when you are totally unfamiliar with a car is imperative. The photos and parts available on their site site have been a blessing. You can also feel comfortable that they stand behind what they sell. I went into this venture totally blind to the Metropolitan world and I'm so thankful that the people at Metropolitan Parts Inc. are there to help me.
very satisfied with the parts and service so far. I still have a long way to go getting Met on the road. So you will be filling another order for me soon. Thanks
My buddy and I got a '57 Metro at the Owls Head Transportation Museum annual auction in August. When we got it I said, "it goes and stops" so I drove it onto the ferry boat a few miles away to take it home to Vinalhaven Island. First day, blew a brake line and started ordering parts. Lines arrived but, car wouldn't start, ordered starter. Added a distributor, regulator, and now waiting on a generator to solve the idiot light problem. Metro Parts has been wonderful to work with. Service is quick, prices are reasonable, and our one return (our error) was handled with no problems. They are good partners to have as we keep Daisy (she's yellow & white) running.
Metropolitan Parts has been remarkably efficient and responsive in all of our purchases to date related to the care and feeding of our 1957 Metro. Their online purchasing system is clear, comprehensive, and simple to use. The parts are of high quality, are accurately described on the website, and are reasonably priced in line with other sources we've checked. Perhaps most importantly, the owner responds quickly to inquiries, is helpful with suggestions, and their speed in the processing and delivery of orders is nothing short of remarkable. Highly recommended as a source for a wide range of parts for these historic cars.
Quick delivery. The parts catalog is great. Having pictures of the parts in the parts catalog make it so easy to choose what parts are right for my car. The pictures are extremely helpful. Little added notes in the catalog are great too. Very impressed. All of the parts I ordered fit my car perfectly
Every time I call I speak to Chris
He always very knowledgeable and friendly,
Great help finding me the parts/information I need to do a complete restoration on my 1959 metropolitan Nash
Very my recommend this business
I have had nothing but great service getting parts I need from Metropolitan Parts. The shipping is always super quick and the parts work great. I have lost the instruction sheet on some of the parts I have received. An email got me a new set of instructions in no time. I ordered one part that was going to require me to remove the whole dash to replace. A phone call later and I had the work around to save me hours of work. There is a Met parts supplier within an hour drive of me, but their prices are higher than having these folks ship it to me. These folks will be getting my business from now on.
I was surprised to find out my Metro did NOT have an oil filter. I checked Metropolitan Parts and they sell a complete kit, all fittings, filter and etc. to add one. Great kit & shipped quickly.
Metropolitan Parts has an excellent inventory of parts. They are pleasant people to work with. My wish would be for a small inventory of used Metros in very good condition for sale. Metropolitan is always prompt and helpful. Thank you for helping preserve a segment of automotive history!
I ordered brake wheel cylinders online. The whole process went without any problems. Great price, quick delivery, perfect fit. I'd recommend you any time.
I've bought quite a few parts from Met Parts, and everything has worked out perfectly each time. Their shipping is quick and most prices are reasonable.
There are lots of reasons why this is my first choice for Metropolitan Parts. The family feel and personal touch are huge! Pricing is comparable to the other place so what really sets Metropolitan Parts, Inc. apart are all the extras. They have a beautiful catalog, a great website with helpful information and installation advice, are communicative about shipping items, a free key fob with first order, and they reuse cardboard boxes for shipping items. These folks are hands down my favorites!
When I bought my Metro 8 years ago I spoke with the father. I believe Paul. Wonderful experience. Thereafter I dealt with Chris and stopped using Metropolitan Parts. I recently tried to use this company again. Spoke with Chris on the phone to order a can of engine paint. I inquired about the military discount on shipping. After explaining to Chris that I had just experienced credit card fraud and had closed my accounts, changed banks and just opened all new accounts and would not purchase online with a card again he refused to give me the military discount for shipping. I politely but firmly told him I would no longer deal with his company, gave him my card number and ordered my part. That evening I received an email from Chris telling me that he will not sell to customers like me. Very rude and unprecedented in my 40+ years of restoring cars and fire engines. I emailed him requiring an apology or a poor review. To date no apology. Hence this review. He refused to send me my order telling me that he will not sell to customers like me. I am a retired Veteran. His nickle dime discount is of no significance. His refusal to understand credit card fraud and its consequences, disrespect for the military and the significance of denying the very discount he offered to a Veteran is unforgiveable. My suggestion is to buy from Metropolitan Pit Stop in California. Dr M. S. Denbar, Retired, USN
All the parts and accessories you will need for a Metropolitan. Quick shipping as well. I had the opportunity to visit thier shop for thier open house a couple of years ago as well. Nice people and a nice facility in nice small town. I also got the opportunity to ask questions about my Met and got to meet Paul, Chris and Jon.
I agree with the other posters here. MRS has excellent customer service, very good quality parts. Shipping is fast and reasonable. Paul has helped me diagnose and fix several problems over the years. I even had the chance to stop by once and he graciously took me into his office, chatted for a bit, and gave me a tour of the facility. I really like that I only have to look in one place for 99.9% of the parts I would ever need on my Met. Now that I think of it,. maybe 100%!
I have used Metropolitan Restoration Service (MRS) for all the parts I've needed to restore the 1957 Metropolitan I purchased for my wife last year (work in process!). Their catalog is complete (both on-line and a nice paper catalog) and I have found the quality of their products to be a perfect match for the originals. Paul and Chris have been extremely generous with their phone time with me, helping with parts selections and even some problem diagnosing! If you have a Metropolitan, these are your guys! If you are thinking of buying a Metropolitan, do it with the confidence that MRS will have your back while restoring this fun little car. Highly recommended.
