I don't use gimmicks or sales pitches but i do agree that what spare parts suppliers charge for an item is far far more what you will pay compaired to EBay. I encourage my customers to use EBay when purchasing spare parts, but be warned, some of the stuff on there is cheap but also nasty and can be more trouble than it's worth. I use Ebay sometimes and always give the option to my customers, not everyone has an extra few hundred to support local business, why should you? Do they support you? I have a select few companies that i use that sometimes match Ebay, but good quality, if i fit a part to your car i don't want to come back in 12 months and replace it again, it's a good way to save, but if you don't know what to look out for and what quailty to buy, then don't attempt to purchase as the part will be cheap, but nasty as well, sure it will work fine to start with but it will most likely prematureily wear out, i'm not saying don't use Ebay, i am saying let me choose the part for you or let me use my suppliers down south to save you money, all you need to do is be prepared to wait an extra 2-3 days and i will save you heaps. How's that for Great Service?
