Where do YOU buy auto parts?

General repair I use the scrapyards.

New parts, it depends.

1. Parts Source/Canadian tire

2. Guy at work has a connection for discounted parts

3. Guy from a club has good priced parts, but lives too far away. Good Prices though.. and knowledgable.

................................................
I want new spark plugs, a/c delco rapidfire #6

All dealerships called are asking $10/ea.

Guy that lives too far away can hook me up for $5.44/ea.

This is where you type a bunch of shit about how awesome your car is. FACT: It's been scientifically proven that the more shit you write in here the less cool your car is. Nine times out of ten the majority of people who talk shit down here don't even have any of the crap they talk about on their car. I drive an 8 year old domestic and barely give two shits about it. I beat the hell out of it and it begs for more, just like your girlfriend. Go ahead, cut me off. I dare ya.

3. Guy from a club has good priced parts, but lives too far away. Good Prices though.. and knowledgable.

Shipping is usually only 10 bux. But the thing is I STILL save a lotta money. PARTS are always OEM honda (about 40-50% of dealer list price) plus even HIS after market parts are always cheaper then parts source.

damn parts source wanted 190+tax bux for a bosch 02 sensor got the OEM DENSO from my guy for 108 incl shipping..........h

I get all parts through work at cost, usually we get them from NAPA. Its kinda nice though with the other suppliers we are hooked up with. I can get Eibach, Goldline, KYB, some Greddy, Bilstein, momo, HKS, and alot of other parts for cost.
