FAX'd me pages of fiche to pin down what I wanted, taken back uneeded parts, always upfront, always cheaper than locals.

The other day "Bruce" said he could get what I wanted from Japan, but also then gave me the names of 2 pick-n-parts in the DFW area that could fix me up at mucho dirt cheaper prices.

Outstanding crew there.
I don't prefer to deal with people in the car business, be it face to face or over the phone. That's why if a place offers 25% or 30% discount straight-up no chaser, I perfer to order it over the web, self-service. Give me a break, you're gonna order stuff from Amazon, Dell, etc. without talking to anyone, I think it's pretty easy to order brake pads, rotors, calipers, and anything else you need OEM over the web. I've always hated the idea of having to act like you know someone to get a discount you should rightfully get. That's the old way, it's not 1975 anymore. Heck, some of us weren't even born then. Hate that way of doing business, advertise high prices but if you know it should be cheaper then you get the lower price. Some people don't know and they get ripped-off.

go to the "links" area and you'll be able to see which sites will give you the discounts

Actually, it's kinda GREAT to be able to call a parts counter, and find someone, anyone, who understands "that little thingamajib that hangs from the carb to the heatshield before it goes into that thing that looks like a " - and be able to answer with the needed part or the doc to look for yourself. Works for me.
