Where to buy OEM parts?

[thatryan]

Is there a good place or vendor for online OEM parts? Local dealer is expensive obviously, and I know previous vehicles I had there were always forum vendors that did good pricing. Any recommendations especially for shipping to CA?

Thanks!

Sometimes you can find OEM parts off ebay, just put OEM at the end of your search. I got GM rear floor mats from a seller for way cheaper than dealer.

Amazon. Aldo plenty of places like cheapestGMparts.com but many of the online places charge you an arm and a leg for shipping.

I've had good experiences with a Chevy dealer out of Oregon:

If you are buying a few things email them first and they may give you a better price on a larger buy.

Good local dealers will charge MSRP for parts or maybe less. Remember, you buy from them locally, you support them, their families, and allow them to keep their doors open.

 

That said, if you insist on buying online, some places rape you on shipping and they make their money back and or MORE than MSRP off of you.

This is where I have ordered from: http://www.gmpartscenter.net/

 

Shipping was reasonable.

Rockauto.com. SummitRacing.com sells some, too.

Free market. They can compete or become irrelevant.

 

OP- Google the part number and go with the cheapest price shipped.

Dealers run those online "gmcheappartshere.com" sites and a majority of the eBay sellers so some of the larger dealers in the nation do compete. But, imagine the amount of dollars of inventory they have to keep on hand to do all of it. The smaller guys can't do that anywhere as easy.
