Research all the costs (shipping, "handling charges" , etc). It will vary depending on how far your parts need to be shipped...and due to promos, it could change each time you shop.

Besides the ones mentioned, a quick Google will point out more online dealers.


Also worth trying is to print out the online prices and see if a local dealer will match it. They may not match, but might discount the purchase enough so that it would be cheaper without the shipping. (Besides, you prob could get everything the next day.)

 

I use Bernardi and these guys ---> https://www.handa-accessories.com


I have not always been happy with Bernardi. Sometimes, they take your money and then tell you the item is on back order. Also, they are careless about shipping, i.e., they through your stuff in a box and ship it. No packing materials, etc.

 

Never had that problem with them (though for a while they had an extra 'handling' fee, which I hated).


They are relatively close to me so I'm a good customer.

 

You don't need "oem" wheelbearings. Just get Timken

Bernardi and College Hills.

The two best places that I've found for OEM parts.

 

It depends what part you're looking for. There's a combination of their price, shipping charges, tax, convenience, urgency, etc.

I shop around each time and usually end up going with: different dealerships in my region, Bernardi, Amazon, eBay, or any other online seller with a good reputation and reasonable return policy.

Dealerships will sometimes match prices for you. I've used dealership's prices as leverage against each other in negotiating lower prices. If the dealership takes orders through the Honda eStore, that's been a quick and easy way to start off with a lower price than going in-person to the parts department. You can order through the eStore and select free will-call/pick-up from the dealership.

You just have to shop around each time if you want the best price. Life lesson there.

 

throw, not through

I really ought to learn to spell.
