Where are the good sources for quality on-line parts.... not modification parts, just replacing things like the cabin air filter, plug coils, belts, etc.

I am trying to avoid the cheap crap that comes form China (good quality from China is fine, but some of those parts are absolute junk). If there are some sites that get respect for selling quality and having good service that would be great. Dealers who discount would be nice to know too.

Thanks,

 

Plugs are NGK period. Get them at any auto parts store.
Air filter - Go to Wallmart.
Belts - Gates ect, also available at your local auto parts store.
Coils - Honestly look in the FS forums on here to find OE used parts if that's your budget.
I'm using coils from my local auto parts store, they have never failed me.

Keep one thing in mind, Nissan doesn't make plugs, belts, plugs and filters ect.,
Shop smart and you'll save yourself some $$$$. On line isn't always the best place to shop for basic maint. items for your car.

 

Courtesy Nissan in Texas sells dealership parts at discounted rates online (I think wholesale price). I've seen parts up to 40% off local dealerships. courtesyparts.com

 

I stand by RockAuto.com. It's where I get my replacement parts.

 

The classifieds section on this site is an excellent source for coil packs. Filters, belts, etc. are best found at your local auto parts store. I get all my parts at O'Reilly's.

 

I use courtesyparts.com as well.

 

Thanks for the tip on courtesy.

Those local store coils are really OK? Who's name is on them? Standard?

 

Yeah I think "standard" does make some of the aftermarket coils for the Maxima. Brand new I think there about 70 bucks though.

 

For maintenance parts like filters and plugs, I also used http://www.autopartsway.com/. They offer very good price and fast shipping too.

 

I've been buying my Nissan parts from worldpartsexpress.com. It's a dealership with a comprehensive online site and they stock a lot of stuff. Just like Courtesy you'll get a huge discount compared to local dealer ripoff prices. You can also order parts from nearly every major OEM.

For parts that cost too much to buy from Nissan (e.g. rebuilt brake calipers) I like buying from Napa. They sell good quality stuff that doesn't cost insane amounts of money.

Rock Auto online:

Their website's a little weird, but the prices are great and their people on the phone are freindly with fast shipping. I just ordered some made in USA stuff ( raybestos brake pads) and some parts for the strut tower (Monroe) for my 97 max and was very happy with savings/fast ship.

(I hate made in China crap and avoid using it at all costs.)

For those few parts where OEM Nissan is best, I've found Jerry Rome Nissan quite satisfactory. Straightforward, no nonsense, good prices:
