03-15-2010, 08:25 PM #1I usually buy from a local indy supplier, they are a major source for the local repair shops, but they are a little high on some of these items compared to online, which I frequently use to buy parts too.

03-15-2010, 10:24 PM #3I buy almost all my parts from my local guy. Bart's Parts here in Bakersfield (661) 327-5501. He gets me everything I need OE, for all my German and Japanese vehicles. His prices are always better then the online outfits, but then shipping might make it more.

I have used ETY, very nice people and helpful too.
I have purchased from Germanstar in Arizona, but they just drop ship form the San Fernando Valley.
Rock Auto has some good prices, but Partsgeek had a more extensive online catalog.
The local place I use is Autotech Warehouse, they are on the web also.

Autohaus has free shipping over $50, but takes a long time to recieve parts. Also you can look up parts by mercedes part number. They also have more items like LubroMoly products such as diesel purge and MOSD2.
Partsgeek has a flat $6.50 shipping and has the around the same prices but ships super fast.
My preference is Partgeek, but Autohaus seems to have more items typically.

(03-15-2010, 10:24 PM)DeliveryValve buymbparts.biz call for better prices then online.
That's where I buy 99% of my parts from. It used to be buymbparts.com, but long story short, Rusty is no longer associated with that domain. I can not emphasize enough the importance of calling instead of using the website. Rusty can find almost anything... Excellent customer service. Been using him since 2002.
