Choosing online OEM parts supplier

Since dealer says 2-3 months delivery for my part, I started searching online for an OEM with factory warranty.

The prices are much better than dealer, but how do you find a reputable supplier? Also, I notice the few sites I checked have identical web pages (maybe copied from the factory listing?). And, they apparently don't even stock the part since replies say on back order.

Where do you order your Acura parts? Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure if this will qualify but I use RockAuto. They aren't exactly OEM like Acura branded parts but it's OEM quality. I've used them a few times and their pricing is awesome.

OEMAcuraParts or AcuraOEMParts both work great.

Some websites have the same design, because they just buy a generic OEM parts supplier website design from a third party. Nothing to worry about there.

Thanks for the referral. I'll check their items.

^^^ I've used those two (and keep going back to acuraOEM) as well as Bernardiparts.

Also, try cross-referencing the part numbers at Honda. Some parts are interchangeable and will be cheaper through Honda. I've used Bernardiparts (they have both Acura and Honda but can't sell/ship both on the same order), and hondaautomotiveparts (Majestic Honda).

what part are you looking for?

with the multi-thousands of parts available, the dealers stock what they need (mostly for cars made in the last 5 years)
on a daily basis-- and order everything else from the warehouse- usually 2 times a week orders are made and received

If an item is on backorder- its simply not available from any USA warehouse location, and at best there are some being made in Japan or elsewhere--thats why a long wait time!

The dealer parts dept can look up part online--see if available from other dealers.
Drop by and ask for some special help~
