I use lordco, canadian tire, napa usa, napa canada, and some online stores.

Seems like napa in blaine is best deal if they price match the online napa. I have ordered something from napa in blaine but not sure about the taxes.

One thing annoying is that the stores dont mention brand part all the time. they seem to have one cheap and one expensive part and maybe a refurbished.

For OEM GM parts, www.gmotors.com

I paid about half much ordering from them (even after shipping and duty) over buying oem in detroit, and paid about a third as much as buying from a dealer in windsor.

Edit: The parts I bought cost about the same at the canadian dealerships as they did from uap/napa.

for OEM Nissan parts, I went with these guys in Texas.

Like the previous poster, much cheaper with taxes and brokerage fees than buying in Canada.

If I think I may need help later, I buy from the local dealer. Otherwise it's online. All 3 sites focus mainly on VAG products, two have additional focus on TDI.

Good feedback. I notice napa usa online is charging $350 US for refurbished computer for my car but I can get it used for $75 usa. Most of the time used is a rip-off but sometimes it beats the alternatives.
