Hey guys, which is the best online vendor for auto parts in Canada? Thanks
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.Quote:

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
Any specific car model you're working on?Quote:

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

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
partsource is owned by ctcQuote:

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
Damn that's crazy lolQuote:
