Mike Mitsules

Hello Dean, Just wanted to say thank you for the outstanding service you have provided. I was very happy when I received the windshield for my '68. It was exceptionally well packaged. Now that I finally finished my Roadster I thought I might send you a picture. I am sure you see a lot of these on the West Coast, but this is only the third one I have seen in Pennsylvania. Thanks again for the great service, Jim Sullivan
Jim Sullivan / Pennsylvania

Hello Dean, have the Datsun Parts today received. I am very contented custumer with the parts and the package. I need more parts for my Datsun Roadster from dec. 1969 high windshield and give you this week a new order from your internet catalog. Sincerely yours, Geert Blokzijl
Geert Blokzijl / Hoogeveen, Netherland

Just wanted to say thanks for your quick response and delivery of the parts I needed. I know whenever I needs parts or technical help, you are there! Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.
Joe Alevedo/Phoenix,Az.

By the way, all of the parts that I have ordered from you are nice quality pieces. Thanks again, Jim
James Sullivan

To: Dean Apostal, Many thanks for your efficient and swift service. I ordered some parts on October 2 by phone. Shipping and billing was the following day. These parts arrived at my home in New Braunfels, TX on 6 October. My 1966 Datsun 1600cc SPL0311 (Chick Magnet) is now back on the road and dazzling all the local sweethearts. So again thanks for your great service; the next best thing to having a responsive dealer next door. Nissan won't even talk to me anymore when I try to order a part. They just laugh and gather the parts folks to join in on the fun. So now I can drive by the Nissan dealership and watch the looks of envy as the Fairlady runs as smoothly as when it was new.

EDDY JUAREZ/CA.

Dean, What a disappointment to own a newly painted roadster with new seats and carpet, but ratty windshield trim and console. The solution was provided by your windshield pad set p/n 1231 and console cover w/lid p/n 1079. The quality of the materials, the workmanship, and the fit of all pieces exceeded my expectations. Thanks! Jon R. Hayden
Jon Hayden/Tyler Tx.

I have found your website to be the most comprhensive of all those I have visited. The parts I have ordered from you were delivered very quickly and exactly as ordered. I also did a little price comparision and found you to be on par or better, thanks.
Bill Walker/Bakersfield, Ca.

Dean, I appreciate all your hard work. You've been very helpful. Its nice where I can call and get parts, and ask questions. Unlike some of your competitors. Thanks, Cameron camsauto-air
Cameron Mc Leod

I appreciate your help on my "little" project. You've been a great service to the Datsun Roadster family. I am planning on a few more large orders shortly. Thanks, Cameron

G'day Once again thanks for your prompt service all my parts arrived in Australia within days of being ordered. Great service again Many Thanks Peter Hansen PS All the best for the New Year and keep up the good work
Peter Hansen/Australia

Yes, the Datsunparts.com website is excellent, and Dean Apostle is very helpful over the phone as well. Very good experience buying from them!
Fred/San Francisco,Ca.

"I want to thank you for your help... The car needed new pistons, all bearings and an updated oil pump. You came through with the required parts and advice on schedule and the car was reassembled, broken-in and made the race, second place finish. When dealing with a thirty year old car it is a blessing to have a resource like Dean who can get the parts delivered on a tight schedule, at a very reasonable price, and have everything correct... Keep up the good work, you can count on my business in the future."
Murray Chalmers/San Dimas, Ca.

I just wanted to thank you again for helping me solve my carburation problems and fixing the other dozen things that had previously been "creatively repaired" on my car. Now my engine runs great. After years of agonizing experiences with so-called know it all sports car "specialists", it was refreshing to find someone who respects and can intelligently deal with Datsun Roadsters. Thank you Dean for your honesty and integrity. Indeed, your knowledge and workmanship are truly appreciated."
Rick Braverman/Santa Monica,Ca.

"I have accepted the fact that the only people who help the club have turned at least part or all of their hobby into a money-making opportunity. Even Dean has done this to a degree, but with a twist that I like. Dean has a single-handedly lowered the prices of goods and services to a competitive level from it's previous monopoly state."
Robert Valerio/San Diego

Dean. Thank you for being there for me!
Maria Bustelo/Mexico

Hi, Just to let you know that the parts that I ordered, the Bumper Bar and the assorted bits and pieces all arrived. The bar is as good as new and Bax only took 3 days to ship it all to Australia excellent service from both them and you. So once again many thanks for a job well done. Peter
Peter Hansen/Australia

I recently order a few items from you. All parts were very nice quality. I do plan on placing another order soon. Thank you, Jim Sullivan
Jim Sullivan

Thanks Dean for all your help! I am sure Ken will be in touch with more requests. Thanks again and hope you have a great Christmas. PS. If you ever get a chance to come to Australia please contact us. We have beautiful 4.5 star cabins and we would love to show our appreciation by giving you free accommodation. Cheers and thanks again. Ken and Tracy Moore
Ken Moore/ Cudmirrah NSW Australia

Dean, Sorry I missed your call. Your hunch was correct: in my haste I didn�t notice that the choke cable (1805) came with a grommet, so the extra grommet (1806) is not necessary. Thank you for filling the order so quickly, and for saving me some money in the process! Jon R. Hayden
Jon Hayden/Tyler,Texas

Hi Dean, parts were excellent, thank you. Those carb linkages were a life saver! Regards, Graeme Suckling
Graeme /Australia

I could not be more impressed with the quality of the products you have sent me thus far. Thank you for overnighting me the intake/exhaust manifold gasket last week too. I was able to get it installed on Saturday and had the car running to give my kids a ride on Sunday!! James

Thanks for your support of the Datsun Roadster group at the �Glen� this year. We had a lot of rain on Saturday and Sunday, but it was good to get together with friends old and new. Fred

Hi Dean Received my last box of parts yesterday, All OK. Can not wait to fit those Exhaust Headers on the Roadster, they will really finish it off. Thanks Dean. We do appreciate being able to get the parts we need from the US . Regards Kent.
Kent Bush / Australia

Dean, Just wanted to say thanks for getting the starter motor to me on time. I installed it last night and the car fired up first time - and with a lot less effort than before - so I will be able to make the race this weekend. I appreciate your efforts. Thanks Graham Ashby
Graham Ashby

Hi Dean, just wanted to thank you for the in house exchange, it is a very nice exhaust collector. Do expect more orders. My friend John Neal with a 68spl wants me to redo the inside windshield area with the plastic replacement items, plus the door seal material. When we get ready the order is yours. Thank you very much....Bill Cole
Bill Cole

Exactly! Perfect. It all looks so good, now I am having to re-think about painting the car first before I put the new interior in. Yes Dean it is all there and in perfect shape. I thank you again: Kevin
Kevin Peterson

Dean got the parts for the 2000 yesterday, havnt had a chance to check them all off against the list ,but I must say they all look great ,the quality of the seatcovers is really superb!

Hello Mr. Dean, Finally I got the parts. Thank you very much! Thanks, Seiji
seiji Okada / Japan

Hi Dean, Thanks for the parts they all arrived safely. I have attached some photos of the Datsun Roadster Nationals (46 cars from all over Australia attended) held over the weekend in the Barossa Valley (wine country) in South Australia. Our car won best in show, best restoration, most original and people's choice. It seemed that we were a little greedy! The car looked great. We still have a few things to do to get it to the level we want and will do that before the next Nationals. Thanks again for sending the parts. Cheers, Darron Proctor
Darren Proctor

Got all the parts I ordered the next day; Thanks again for the speedy shipping. Thanks for all your help; you have been a invaluable asset to the Datsun roadster fans. Keep up the good work, hope all is well for yourself. Thanks again, Peter
Peter Yang

Hi Dean: Just a note to congratulate you on all of the work you have done to bring a host of quality Datsun roadster products to owners. I would not have believed we have such a selection. Good work Fred
Fred Davidson

Dean: Recently received my order for two door panels and a console cover (1970 1600). Everything was in good order and installation went well. The only problem is the rest of the interior looks shabby by comparison! Thanks again. Hey Steve, I guess you'll just have to come back for the other pieces. I'm glad you are happy with the parts! Dean
Steve Bronskill

hi dean , Got my parts today , everything looks fine. Nice gaskets. Thanks!
Al Gast

Peter Jones

Dean, thanks for the reply back. Your the only vendor that has got back to me on this subject. This is for Bill Neals car, who just ordered all the clutch parts from you, they are very nice high quality parts. Thanks... Bill Cole
Bill Cole

Hello Dean, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you again for all of your help with parts and information. Your service has always been great and your product selection continues to grow, which makes me happier every time I visit your site. You�ve always been prompt with shipping parts and your follow-up has been great too. You�re a true asset to the roadster community and I for one appreciate your desire to help all of us continue to drive the cars we love. Thanks again. Sincerely,
John Lowry Olathe,KS

Hi Dean, very impressed with the quality of the rubbery bits. I can't fit those seals yet, the vents need to be plated first. Have a good Xmas, and a safe New Year. Regards, Graeme Suckling
Graeme Suckling

Hi Dean, I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you. Since I bought my lil darlin, I've found a GREAT community of roadster guys (and gals), vendors, friends. To keep these awesome pieces of motoring history running, we all need parts. Whether I've called you for parts or advice, you have always been very willing to provide either, even if it meant that I ended up getting the part locally! You are a true friend to the Roadster Community. This thank you is for one specific part though. As you may recall, I recently purchased a short shift lever with the Delrin bushings to go with it? This thing is AWESOME! I'm 6'1" and have always found the throw on the stock length shifter to be a bit awkward and cumbersome. This piece solves the problem. It moves the shift knob down a few inches, shortens the throw, and puts it PERFECTLY in my hand when driving. The other cool side effect of this part is a truly sports car feel when shifting. The bushings take out ALL the slop of rubber bushings! Feels like the race car a Solex SRL really IS! Makes shifting MUCH more enjoyable. It shortens the shift time too and is more precise, to make you a little quicker thru the gears.
Matt Smith Hixson, Tn.

We appreciate your service and cooperation!
Jim "The Autoworks"

I would like to thank you for your increased attentiveness to roadster owners. I like seeing a vendor take a "hands-on" interest in customers. There may be some that don't like to see vendors making comments but, your knowledge and parts are welcome. Thanks.
Brad Holmes SECROC

..I must say for the record, I have purchased many parts from Dean. I have not had any complaints about what I have purchased. I get fast delivery and the parts are what I have expected them to be. I bounced around looking for parts and have stuck with Dean. From my true experience over 1 year I would highly recommend Dean to anyone. looking for a honest parts Datsun vendor.
Ron Mistak

Dean. I just wanted to tell you that all the dreck that I've heard about you from some of the others vendors of parts is not true. I have received 6 or 7 orders to this date and have had no problems. I don't know what the problem is in this "roadster world", but I know that you have treated me fairly in all our dealings.
James Balarsari Sacremento, Ca.

Clearly others have appreciated how you run your business and take responsibility for any errors on your part, and even when they might not be yours. As always, I will continue to do business with you and send customers your way. Best wishes to you this holiday season..
Greg Washington State

Hi Dean, just a quick note. Parts arrived this morning. Many thanks, they are excellent and were packed very well.
Graeme S. Australia

I've purchased from Dean.....and have always received the service I needed at a fair price.
Gary Tew Peoria, AZ.

Dean has been as good as they get in sending me parts. I have purchased the roasdter full suspension kit and it was complete in every way. Other orders have been handled in a similarly prompt and professional manner.
Ken McLeod

Dean has done me right, and as a bonus his price is frequently the low bid also....
Jim Cawrse Chesapeake, Virginia

Thank you Dean, and all for comments etc.
Marko Sydney Australia

Dean, I ordered a set of headers for a 2000 the other day. I am extremely impressed with the quality and the finish for the price, and completely blown away that you include the gasket set. I already have a set of your gaskets that I got with the car from Mark Dent, but extras are always handy. He recommened you highly, now I know why. Thanks again.
Dave Brisco

Part arrived at Tim's today...Awesome service. More orders to come.
Brian Rourke

Joe Alevedo Phoenix, AZ

Dean, Happy as a clam. Besides which, no one has consistently lower prices than you. Feel free to note that not a single part on this car was bought from another vendor!
Jesse Brink Venice, Ca.

I'm trying to install the trunk lid hinges and specifically the torsion bars that go with them. Any pics of installed bars would be appreciated. Also, I have been installing Dean's rubber kits and I'm very impressed with the quality and fit of the parts. Kudos! '67 1600 VG30
Gary Tew Peoria, AZ

DatsunParts.com is single-handedly the best source on the web for Roadster Parts! The site is organized intelligently and easy to navigate through the entire parts catalogue. Dean is thorough and careful with all aspects of your order right down to shipping.

Dean's comprehensive knowledge is legendary! He is clearly one of the best information sources available for Roadster aficionados and he is always right there with help, not just about his parts but also discussion regarding these old cars and how best to keep them alive. One heck of a satisfied customer!

"Dean, Thank you for supplying the brake parts to make Cheri's wagon drive again. I was pleasantly surprised to find factory parts that were of high quality and fit right without modification. I owned an an automobile repair shop in Port Townsend for many years and am very aware of poor quality parts. My technicians would keep me informed of the best lines from the best suppliers. I sold my shop two years ago and am trying to perform "community service" by helping keep the interesting, unique cars on the road. These are the cars that no other shop will work on. This means putting up with whatever parts are available and sometimes those are pretty nasty. You have been put on my list of preferred suppliers."
Steve Tucker

"Thanks for being so patient with a "rookie" Datsun owner. I am glad I can rely on you for parts as well as your knowledge."
Ken Ziesenheim, President Thornburg Securities Corporation, Santa Fe, NM

"The distributor works great! Dropped it in and the car started right up. I'm so pleased with your speedy delivery, it's the best of all the Datsun suppliers."
Fred Katz, So. San Francisco, CA

"Dean is a good guy. I'm in the process of getting a few things as I type. Catalogs like that must take time to put together on a page like that, and it really makes ordering parts easy. He should be compensated with a few sales for the effort."
Paul Strassmeier

"I've bought several items from Dean and have been pleased with all. He's very helpful with questions as well."
Gary Tew, Phoenix, AZ

"I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your thoroughness. When it comes to the supply of parts, your prices are really fair and competitive and the "choice quality" assures me of a long lasting car. Your conscientiousness is very much appreciated by me. Keep up the good work.
Gilles de Bonfilhs - Santa Monica 69 Solex 2000

"I'm very happy to have found an honest person to service my Roadster. You are really very knowledgeable. My car has never run better. Thanks for providing such great service!"
Jonathan Stone - Santa Monica 66 1600

"Regarding Parts: I've spent the last six years of my life showing up in people's backyards at night with a flashlight and my own tools to obtain some of those hard to locate parts. Some parts were so dirty and oily you'd thing they lived on an oil refinery. Luckily I found you through Art at "Rising Sun." Your parts are clean, already disassembled for me to inspect and hopefully I'll only need the use of my flashlight for real emergencies."
Gregg Donaldson - Culver City 67 1600

"Your service has been outstanding and your parts excellent quality. I appreciate your help and time in making my Roadster restoration a success."
Larry Wise

"Your console covers look great, in the set of pics you gave me. I'm probably too far away to take advantage, but I'd like to hear from you. The DUBBO, New South Wales Datsun Spartos National Meet happens this June. I won't be able to attend (it's about 2400km each way), but maybe you'll attend?"
Eric Gustavson - Queensland, Australia

"The new master cylinders went on beautifully and are performing marvelously. The idler arm is on and working and along with a tightened steering gear box makes for excellent handling."
Kurt E. Lindquist II - Raleigh, North Carolina

"I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your help with the tune up. She (2000) runs better than ever. Engine compression was 170-180 on all cylinders. I hope you enjoyed your weekend in New York. We sure enjoyed having you."
Brian

"Dean - it finally runs as good as it looks! Thanks for all your help."
