| Cheapest way to purchase OEM parts
Looking for OEM suspension parts like shocks and spring, is my best bet to purchase from the dealership ??
Is there any shops that i can purchase from locally ? Again, not looking for aftermarket parts

What car? Sometimes online parts are cheaper, shipping included--like Toyota parts.

If pricing is your concern, going to the dealership would be your WORSE bet.
Try searching online, and have it shipped to Point Robert / Blaine. You could
easily save lots. Especially without the custom/ brokerage fee since most of
these online sites are from the States.

Anyone planning to order anything from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com ?
I need to order small things like turn signal sockets but shipping kills it lol.

Its significantly cheaper than the dealership even with the duty and shipping.

That's almost half price. Last time I ordered parts for my GF's Volvo they were about 1/3 the cheapest Canadian price.

I've ordered stuff from them, can do multiple manufacturers, all from OEM too. http://www.parts.com/
p2p at point roberts, just past the border and in front of the letter carrier, much less people, easier parking, also, you can walk there past the boarder and walk back if there's much traffic at the boarder. it also opens on Saturday http://www.p2pparcel.com/index.html | |
