Best website for parts?

[Acadia18]

Me and Home Depot are in lovers quarrel at moment. Got some ratcheting wrenches from them and half half were binded up once I finaally got the packaging open.
Yet to try their tunas though.

Nobody likes the tuna there.

No single go-to but ECS is probably top of the list for OEM parts, oil change kits, and mods (excluding their in-house brand). I use FCP Euro for OEM parts as well. Rock Auto can be a good source for things like filters, rotors, etc. E-ACCA is a good way to save on certain OEM parts (ex. Clubsport muffler, RS3 brake ducts) if you don't mind the wait for international shipping. eBay can be good for used parts like infotainment screens and trim. Tire Rack for tires and the occasional brake or suspension part but those aren't common purchases.

Ultimately it's down to the price, availability/shipping time, and trustworthiness of the vendor for me.

I’ve ordered plenty from ecs, but the last 1.5 years I’ve not been the biggest fan as nothing ships when they said it would… usually only a few days but still.


Fcp and Urotuning has always been great.

99% of my orders have been placed through ECS, and we’re talking a couple hundred orders over the years, and I’ve had one or maybe two issues that ECS resolved immediately. They’re A+ in my book.

For oem parts I go through the dealer. For online orders they give 25- 33% off and come out cheaper than anyone online. 30 minute pickup is super nice, too.

For aftermarket parts I cross-shop using Google to get the best offer. Pretty much everyone drop ships these days, so doesn't matter much who the reseller is.

Everyone raggs on ECS so I'm just curious what the general consensus is on the goto company for their mods and parts.

I always check FCP euro first because of the lifetime warranty. If they don't have the part I need I go with shopdap.com because Paul's videos have saved my ass during multiple installs

FCP, Uro, DAP. Just learned of BMP from this thread. Eeuroparts is good as well. And GAP used to be great for my older cars, then disappeared for a little while.

FCP Euro is my first choice if they have the item.

Don't forget that in most states now you pay sales tax on online purchases, but certain states like Texas haven't caught up yet, so retailers like BMP and MAP you don't pay tax.

For the track day and racing crowd, cms and winding road give pretty great discounts to members of some clubs, like NASA, and don't charge tax since they're Texas based.
