has anybody bought from GMpartsdirect.com? i need a driver door master switch bezel (AKA the part that is the top of the door pull with the window switches in it) and the dealer in town said the part has been discontinued....go figure, so i look on gmpartsdirect, and find the part for less than half of the dealer MSRP. Just kinda wondering if they sell genuine OEM parts or if they are off brand???

 

GMPartsDirect is a dealer themselves. I have had bad experiences with them.

When I need a part, I go to NAIOA.com and PM member ZSpot. He works in a dealership and gives people good discounts

 

yeah after you posted i looked at reviews and almost every single one was a 1/5 star rating, many said theyd give them zeroes if they could....so glad i asked on here before i ordered...i almost did it haha

 

Many have ordered no problem, I had ordered, paid for, waiting 35+ days for my GMPP exhaust, only for them to tell me they haven't even shipped it yet.

Canceled, got my money back, ordered through ZSpot, had my stuff in 3 days (and cheaper)

 

if he works at a dealer, wont the part be discontinued for them? thats what my local dealer told me? heard anything about newgmparts.com?

 

its probably the same way as the other site too

 

i had an issue with gm parts direct as well. ive used gm parts giant and im happy with there service.

 

He's helped me get a part, if it truly was discontinued. Sometimes it's discontinued to order new, but he can source a part from another person. Truly worth the PM it would take to ask.

 

I've made one, maybe two orders from GMPartsDirect, no issues.
But I completely support ZSPOT as well!

If the part is discontinued, then it is discontinued for everyone. You're looking for someone that has NOS (New Old Stock). As Chibi mentioned, ZSPOT can sometimes source parts from other warehouses. I've done business with him a few times. He's prompt with replies and happy to help.
Worth the PM.
