I've ordered a few times, never an issue.

They have been good for me, although the shipping is a little slow sometimes.

1stsubaruparts.com is a good alternate. Usually a little cheaper if you're buying anything over $50 or so. They aren't fast either, but I've never had either of them lose an order...

After over a dozen orders, my only complaint is slow shipping to the east coast.

Ditto. Takes a long time. The shipping's not cheap either.

Remember that Subaruparts is nothing more than a parts supply counter at a dealership! But they have great prices and great service. I just ordered a bunch of parts during their last sale... I spent $198 for the complete engine reseal kit, $89 for a factory water pump, and 6 NKG plugs for $45. Fantastic prices. They even tracked down a piece or trim for the SVX from Japan for me. They go the extra mile. But if you need a part fast, you local dealer might be a better option. |

I've ordered from subaruparts.com numerous times without a problem and echo those above regarding slow-ish delivery @ pricey freight being the only negatives. But for perspective, once I phoned my nearest dealership and was quoted full list price for whatever it was I needed, plus shipping (or a three-hour round-trip). No, thanks. dcb |

Re: Parts from SubaruParts.com .. ??
I recently found out the local Subaru dealer gives a 20% discount to auto repair shops. A friend has one and got me a coil pack for the same price as Subaruparts.com, and no shipping.

Re: Parts from SubaruParts.com .. ??
I have never had them drop the ball, but shipping time to northeast is almost unacceptable...
I have never had a part take less than 3 weeks to get to me after placing an order. 3 weeks is a long time to wait, specially seeing what they charge for shipping. My last order to them I ordered 6 washers, it took me 5 weeks to get them.. |

Re: Parts from SubaruParts.com .. ??
One of the local Subaru dealerships will match Subaruparts.com prices for me and doesn't charge me shipping. I had a full set of valve cover gaskets ordered from back east in less than a week. (unfortunately it's not the closest dealer to my house, but oh well...)

Re: Parts from SubaruParts.com .. ??
I thought I had a problem with a shipment once, and I remember that I had to call several times to try to reach someone. Once I did reach someone they were very helpful. I would keep calling and emailing them and in general bugging them till you get a live person.

Re: Parts from SubaruParts.com .. ??
They are local for me... Tacoma WA. A year or two back they had pretty good people to work with. The problem is that they have had a turnover in personal since then and My last attempt to be a "customer" was a disaster! I bought a new subaru Legacy Wagon from them in 1990... before I learned better The dealership has always stunk. Even changed hands a couple of time since and it still stinks.
I buy parts from the Subaru dealership in Auburn WA Good people all around! Keith ![]() |
