Where do you buy your parts? - Rudolf_Diesel - 03-15-2010
I 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.
Where do you buy from and get the best prices?
I am in the market to buy the follwing and want to get the best deal:
1. Timing Chain
2. Chain tensioner and spring
3. Oil pump chain
4. Engine mounts
5. Engine shocks
6. Shock mount kit
7. Trans kickdown cable
All of these parts from Partsgeek are around $550.00

RE: Where do you buy your parts? - DeliveryValve - 03-15-2010
I 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.
If I don't use him, I've purchase parts from
RMEuropean.com also has great prices.
ETY Parts in Eagle Rock/Glendale area (323) 254-7442 can price match.
ETYparts.com
autohausAZ.com has good prices
peachparts.com can get some obscure stuff.
buymbparts.biz call for better prices then online.
pelicanparts.com has good selection

autohausaz has been my main supplier, they seem to have the best prices out of everyone i've checked, but i usually check them all, plus google shopping and ebay and order from whoever has the best price
RE: Where do you buy your parts? - Rudolf_Diesel - 03-16-2010
Excellent responses!
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.

My 2 are partsgeek and autohaus...
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.

partstrain.com and adsitco.com has a great catalog you can order for free. It has just about everything new and used for just about every chassis MB made.

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.

if you're in/near San Diego, you should check out Northside Imports (used to be InterAuto) in the Clairemont Mesa area.

Has anybody use this outfit before.

I wonder if this place is legit.
They have very cheap prices. i.e. 617 IWIS Timing chain $83.60 and Lemfoerder Flex disk for 42.90. Mann Air Filters $12.65.
