Hello! My name is Mike Moy and I've been the owner of Shaw's Auto Parts & Performance Center since 1993.
Prior to becoming the owner, I managed 2 locations of Shaw's since the mid '70s. The Shaw's name has been synonomous
with performance since the original Shaw brothers, Bruce and Terry, started their 'Speed Shops' during the glory years of
the muscle car. As fuel economy and emission concerns changed the marketplace, most 'speed shops' found they had
to diversify their product lines to survive. The move to carrying regular auto parts and supplies was a natural one and has
helped to insure the continued operation of many shops, including ours. But not all. The last decade
or so has found a few mail order companies rise to dominance at the expenses of many small local shops. With their size
allowing them to have aggressive pricing policies, many shops have been unable to meet the challenge. There was a time
when almost every town had its own performance shop, but not anymore. We can't hope to compete with the mail order
giants strictly on price. But what we CAN offer you is a level of customer service those guys can't hope to provide.
When you come to us to make a purchase, whether you need a carburetor, camshaft or just a can of wax, we will spend as
much time as necessary to make sure you get the best value for your money. If the item you want is in stock, you
can examine it personally before deciding on a purchase. If it's not in stock we'll even order it in for you (usually within
24 hours)WITHOUT a deposit and with NO OBLIGATION to buy unless you are satisfied with it. Try that with 'JIGS'
or 'SCUMMIT'! If you have a problem with something you bought from us, you can be sure it will be handled quickly
and fairly, none of that 'send it back to us at YOUR expense' business. How are you going to drive your car without
a carburetor for the 3 weeks it takes them to replace the one that was damaged in shipping? The survival of 'hot-rodding'
as a pastime depends on the ready availabilty of the parts and services vital to the hobby. What if the only source for that
odd bracket or adapter you need at 7:00pm to finish your project in time for the Saturday Rod Run was hundreds of miles away?
Think about this the next time you need to make a purchase. We want you to make us your first choice
for all of your automotive needs. Please don't hesitate to let us know what we can do to accomplish this.
