I was recently doing some minor repairs on both my cars, a Honda and an Acura. It always seems like the parts from the dealer are priced extraordinarily high. But I’m also reluctant to get aftermarket parts for everything, sometimes you need the real manufacturer part.

So if the Internet is so great for finding everything at a great price, does it apply to automobile dealer parts? In this case, I found two places that do. They are Majestic Honda and Acura Carland. I have successfully gotten authentic dealer parts from both at about a 30% discount from the MSRP. I also noticed that my local dealer is a bit above the MSRP, so it is an even better deal for me. One appears to be based in Rhode Island and the other in Georgia, so I don’t know if they are related to each other.

Both offer exploded diagram pictures for each part category, so even though the pictures are grainy you can generally find what you are looking for. Yes, there is a significant shipping charge, but it will still be less than the local dealer unless you’re getting something small.

I’m not affiliated with these folks, but did want to let others know about them and that I had a good experience. I plan on using them again next time I need dealer parts.
