Dave B or Courtesy?

I'm needing these parts for my car
valve assy solenoid, 04+ Valve covers, VC Gaskets, NGK platnum spark plugs. total inc shipping from courtesy is $341.93 based on your experience will Dave B give better prices? I tried calling but he is out to lunch at the moment. Does anyone have an email address for him? I'm on my lunch right now also but I wont be able to call again until after 5 when I get off work so it might be better if I just email the guy during my lunch break.

Cripes dude, wait for him to get back from lunch. Or email him ... which he will then tell you to call him.

Pretty clear who I'd go with.

Ya if he can beat courtesy that'd be awesome. The lady said she doesnt know his email for sure but said it MIGHT be dburnette@southpointnissan.com I'll try that email right now and maybe call back on my next break.

2004 Valve covers and gaskets you should be able to pick up at the Parts Dept. from just about any Nissan dealership. They're pretty inexpensive. You might spend $5 or $10 more than these Texas dealerships, but you won't pay shipping.

NGK Spark plugs you can buy from any of the gazillion online retailers. Unless you're looking for those special plugs blessed personally by Carlos Ghosn. Those are pricey.

Dave B remembered me from 2 years ago and still gave me a better price. The guy is just phenomenal at what he does.

This is coming from someone who USED to order from Courtesy only, while Courtesy is good, Cheaper AND better customer service with Southpoint is the endgame for me.
