Man of Honour
I've bought control arms before as well as complete bushes for everything. You choose the OEM brand and fitment. What's so difficult?
Had the same with VW (bought some bits from Seat as well as they fitted), reasonable price and had the parts waiting to collect from the counter.You guys may be surprised at how reasonable OEM parts are from the main dealer parts counters. Admittedly i have only been doing this with Mercedes, but despite them being a monumental rip off for actual services, their parts dept is almost as reasonable as any of these online outlets. Its nice to get the official parts receipt for your service history, and know that the parts are 100% OEM.
I am about to pick up another BMW at the weekend, i am not sure how their parts dept are, but i am hoping for similar.
Eurocarparts appear to price match (anyone done it?), so will they match carpart4less ?
this maybe useful since eurocarparts have local stores and you can take parts back you turn out not to need.
exactly - that's the irony in demanding a price match for the facility of being able to takes stuff back for free, to local storeEuro Car Parts is carparts4less.
Or people who want "convenience". Same with insurance auto renewals, if you don't put the time and effort shopping around you'll always be paying moreThey make their money praying on those who don't have a clue.
