Napa Canada Online is a reasonable choice.At least you have quality options as opposed to just the cheap Chinese crap that's out thre.I know Napa has Chinese crap too, but quality is still an option there.As a retired self employed auto mechanic of 48 years, I learned that cheap auto parts have seriously harmed the trade, and the demand for them.I use Napa and OE only now.

I don't know if they ship to Canada but I use ""rockauto"", they have good quality parts and give you a choice of vendors from OEM to to what ever has the lowest price.

Thanks for the guidance, what do you guys think about parts avatar

What about brand? I see Moog and Mevotech or Delphi for suspension parts

I've use rock auto already but shipping fees are high. Amazon is okay but more options on the US version site. Never heard of e-trailer

What part are you looking For ?

Tie Rod ends both inner and outer, lower ball joints and rear control arms

[TLG]

I use "Autoshack" or "PartSource" in Ottawa
Perfect for wear a tear Parts that need changing often

Depending if they have what your looking for cause
they mostly keep volume turnover parts

Rav4 Toyota

I would use Mevotech parts for front end/suspension & Napa 1st line for brake parts.

Go to Rock-Auto and get the info on the parts you need (part #/name etc.) and with that info do a search on the net
Ebay, Amazon, Napa, AutoZone, etc. & see what comes up. That's what I usually do when looking for parts for my RAV4

I’ve ordered a number of car parts from Rockauto and Partsavartar shipped into Canada.
I still find Rockauto (usa site) even with the shipping costs cheaper than partsavartar which is located in Canada.
I compare like for like parts.

Example: centric pads and rotors 90962080

Rockauto:272.21 with shipping total 362.33 delivery Jan 9
Partsavartar:435.07 local pickup in Mississauga and, free shipping inside Canada (delivery date Jan 3-7)

Still cheaper with Rockauto by 70 bucks but delivery takes longer .
I guess it depends on how urgent the problem is on the vehicle.

Best advice ..

The wrench monkey is quite expensive to order from

Yes I usually use rock auto to verify certain things and then do a wider search

Rock auto from time to time will add a free gift inside the boxes that can be affixed to the fridge at home.
Magnets with photos of cars/trucks classic , new and old automobiles.

Currently up to 9 affixed to the fridge .
Hopefully number 10 is coming.

Will be ordering some front pads and rotors in the next month for a 4 year old car with 112k on it. Don’t have much time before they need replacing , month or two.

And last but not least, checkout the close out parts for specific vehicle , those really drop as they are discontinued products.

Last order I picked up back brakes and rotors for an old beemer for 300 bucks all in, same ones were 570 the cheapest online.
These were rust resistant rotors with semi quiet pads high quality
