    In order, I prefer 1) autohausaz, 2) getcoolparts, and 3) eap4parts. I've had excellent experiences with all of them. I suggest you compare for yourself all the recommendations you're going to get. Compare web site functionality, quality and depth of information, breadth and depth of stock, price, and shipping cost. Then make your own decision.

    I used EAP and it took 3 weeks for something that I could have got in 4 days from BMA, wasnt worth the 5 bux saved.

    I've been happy with BMA, as well as Taylor Automotive and eBay, along with a couple of trips to the dealer.

    Weren't they in the process of moving for quite a while there? One order I placed with them was for a part only they had and they warned me that it might take longer than usual to get the stuff shipped. They were in a state where stuff was on trucks. Otherwise, they've been OK. Haven't placed an order there in six or seven months 'tho.

    BavAuto is geared towards people who lease cars and have lots of money to flutter away on them.

    I don't apply to either demographic. BMA via the *phone* is your best choice. You're pretty much getting the part at wholesale cost or less. There are some exceptions (stuff they have to get from a dealer/can't buy from worldpac), but all in all, Patrick is your best bet. Just make sure you specify brandname stuff to get top quality -- I've gotten a few dud parts (exhaust hangers, plastic pieces -- believe it or not, there are well and poorly made rubber doughnuts) that have gone south long before they should have.

    best, whit
