I swear by http://www.partszoneonline.com/index.php, you can call toll free 1.888.870.0280 x214 ask for Bill.

The parts prices are the same as gmdirect but they are much more reasonable with shipping.

Plus you can talk to a live voice and they will give you all the parts numbers to check pricing.

((toll free) 1.888.870.0280 x214

The gmpartsdirect is ok to deal with except that you have no one personally to talk with, you have to email and HOPE for a response. Also they are kind of expensive with their shipping. I think that's how they make up for some of the money lost in cheaper pricing.

why dont you find a local auto parts store??? i dont know what the big fuss is about putting gm parts on...usually they're not as good as aftermarket..and they dont have as long of a warranty and they're more money...sorry i just dont understand why people are willing to pay more money when they can buy a better name brand part for cheaper...

a lot of it comes from being told for years that if you dont use genuine GM parts then it could void warrenty
this is not true any more and i have to agree mos tof the time i cna find parts cheaper and bettr made from other manufactures.

if i could just getthem to sell winter air at my local storei will be golden.
that and flasher fluid seem to be real hard ot find

I agree with mickey on this one. I too have been told that if you didn't use OEM GM parts then the warranty could be voided. Now I must emphasize that I was never told that it would be, but if a problem presented itself then it could be an issue with using aftermarket parts.

Buying aftermarket is fine. I've done it a long time.

I doubt there's anyone who's supported NAPA more then I have?

I also want to buy the door sill kit, the tail pipe extensions, and the molded mud flaps for my '06 LTZ Monte. I don't think NAPA can supply these parts? Sure they can supply a similar part but these are the parts I want on my car.[8D]

yah i know what you mean about that kinda stuff...it stinks when you can't buy that kind of stuff aftermarket because the dealer rapes you on it compared to what you could buy them for if they were made by other suppliers..

i guess thats just me though...running an aftermarket auto parts store i can't understand people buying from the dealer unless you absolutely have to
