I've shopped between the following 3... acurapartswarehouse.com has the cheapest price on parts, but the shipping is the most costly (for me.. it may depend on your location). myimportparts.com and acuraoemparts.com have slightly higher prices, but the shipping is more reasonable (again, for me). if i have to get something, i check all 3 and factor in the shipping to see which one gives me the cheapest when everything is accounted for.

myimportparts.com
acurapartswarehouse.com
acuraoemparts.com

Yes both Tim and Denis are great guys. A lot of times though, you can get parts directly from their website for less than their quoted prices. During check out use the following coupon codes:

- Spyhunter = Free shipping over $500
- Galaga = 50% off shipping over $20

The cool thing about www.OEMAcuraParts.com is that they sell both Acura AND Honda parts. That is great if you own both brands. No other dealer I've seen can get both brands. BTW: If a part crosses over from Honda to Acura, it will be cheaper through these guys if you look up the Acura version.

Maybe I missed it, but I don't see any Acura specific references on that site; said another way, it seems to be Honda only.

Thats interesting. Sorry about that but I got access to their Acura parts when searching for an oil filter and on the left "Acura"popped up. Clicked it and it listed all the Acura models.
Here's the link.

I use acurapartsforless.com. I think their price is about the same with everyone else that sell oem parts online, but since it is in NJ and I live in VA, shipping is fast (2 days).

I find that a lot of these OEM sites get you on shipping.

For example...I needed eccentric alignment bolts...and bernardi wanted like $13-14 to ship them.

Curry Acura had the same pricing on the parts (within cents), and the shipping was $5ish.

Ah I see. That kinda sucks that they dont have a standard shipping charge. Wish Amazon stocked everything!

Thank you for the links. The only issue I would have is shipping to Canada.

Rockauto is a good AFTERMARKET source. They do not sell Genuine Acura parts.

do you want the best? Or the cheapest? Cant have both. I've been going to my nearest acura dealer for parts and I get a decent discount everytime I go. Just gotta be cool with the parts guy.

riches, the wrenchmonkee.ca appears to be a reputable Canadian auto parts supplier. It appears to have a strong BBB rating. You may want to review their site for the particular items you are interested in for price competitiveness.

Bit of a thread bump here, but I typically find acurapartsforless.com a good place when it comes to part cost & shipping cost. I typically use 5NSX discount code on their site, good for 5% off.

I have used them multiple times before. Since they are in NJ and I am a few miles away, I always pick it up with no shipping charges. My experience has been great so far. Prices are very comparable with other sites mentioned.

So a basic question. How does one know that these sites are selling genuine OEM parts? The only I can tell by looking is curryacura.com since it’s a dealership.

For example, folks are recommending https://www.acurapartswarehouse.com/...ontact/us.html

According to the Google address it’s a Auto Best Corporation rated 1.8 stars. Is this a genuine OEM dealer?

Thanks. I guess my question is with so many Chinese imitation manufacturers how does one check of what you’re getting is an Authentic OEM part and not just a great looking counterfeit? Is there some way to look at the product or packaging to confirm it’s authenticity?

only way is to buy from a reputable source such as rockauto for non-oem stuff, and a dealer site like those I mentioned. Amazon and ebay have a TON of fakes. DO not trust amazon store of dealerships either as products are put in a bin with similar items. Genuine and fake are mixed so no way for amazon picking system to tell the difference.
