For those of you in Vancouver who are performing their own maintenance what is the best source for supplies? Is there anything local?

 

What kinda supplies you looking for?

Oil would be dependant on brand. Any other maintenance items I'd look to the dealer or states side. Price from places like suncoast make the trip to Washington worth while. (have them sent to the ups store down there to save on shipping).

 

I priced a tool to remove the oil filter at Suncoast and it was only $5 less then the part at Weissach. You will still need to do shipping, duty, etc from FL to Vancouver.

A lot comes down to researching what you need.

 

Good point. To clarify, I was thinking of air, cabin and oil filters, gaskets, etc. My assumption was oil was more or less widely available locally. I haven't yet priced out from Weissach, MCL or the indys- was just trying to get a handle on what local experience was. Obviously if something is only a few bucks cheaper compared to local, plus shipping and waiting, it isn't that attractive an option, and I'll go local. Thanks so far.

 

Try www.e-partsales.com as a reference and then call Oli orChris at Weissach for prices locally. If it is close then make the decision based on what is the better deal.
