My last post just reminded me I've had pretty good experience with BMA Auto Parts in Burbank, CA. I 've gotten a slew of parts from them over the years including brake components (drums, rotors, wheel cylinders, calipers, master cylinder) which were all ATE. Clutch cylinder, exhaust componenets, bosch tune up parts, Hella lights, etc. They're a discount house and they do ship. My only experience is with doing business with them locally over the counter. The advantage is they can get the parts usually same day or next day. And if you go locally you don't have to deal with any shipping/ and or shipping returns. Since they're a discount house they automatically move to get the best price on a part, but I always ask the manufacturer in this case. They can usually get a manufaturer you want. Meaning they may have a price on rotors but a brand I may not particularly want, so I'll say what else can you get. And they'll say, well I can get ATE but it'll be $5 more. So i go with ATE or what have you for the few more bucks--but still definately a discounted price comprable to some vendors we normally use. BMA is in the south end of Burbank, CA on Victory Blvd. near the Glendale border. ww.bmaautoparts.com Just a heads up. I don't own it or have any interest in the biz. Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA |
