Default Is there a sponser for stock parts other than GMpartsdirect??

Does anyone know of a parts supplier like GM Parts Direct that I can use for stock parts, like IAC, or the like? I recently had a problem with them and would rather avoid them if I can help it. They have great prices, but are a bit lacking in the costumer service department. I know this is not the negative feedback area, so I wont get into it here, but I would like to find someone else that can match their prices..

Thanks in advance
John

Good luck matching thier prices. Some people don't mind paying a little more for better service and faster shipping.

Yeah, thats what I am finding. I dont mind paying a little more, but not what my local dealers charge. They think the parts are gold plated and diamond inlayed.

I don't know about your area of FL but around here there is a chain called Bennett Auto Supply, they can get GM parts just as fast as the dealer and they're always happy to beat the dealer pricing. I just saved $15 each on knock sensors from them. An IAC is a very common part I bet they could get.

Thanks guys, I checked them out. Seems like they are about 15 to 20% more, but might be worth it to not have to deal with the other crap.

We're here Let us know what you need and we can help! Unlike GMPD, we don't charge you an arm and a leg for shipping and handling! So the pricing actually comes out pretty similar in the end!

Cool, I appreciate the reply. I will definately give you guys a chance next time. I dont know what I need just yet, but should by next week.

What I need is a parts list, with maybe some schematics and arrows. Anything like that floating around? I dont want to order the wrong parts, and I do most of my ordering late at night after the wife goes to bed.

You can always call us and let us know what you're looking for and we're glad to assist (of course the call is toll-free!). And then we can take your order on the phone or you can order the parts online with very affordable flat-rate shipping.

I just placed an order over the weekend, and the part just arrived at the house. The total came out to be almost identical to gmpartsdirect.com, and it arrived about 3 times earlier too!
