Have you ever had them drop the ball repeatedly?? I ordered Center Bearing (for driveshaft).. and AT Inhibitor switch TWICE! Once during Mem Day sale.. then later by phone.. NEVER RECEIVED parts.. ????

Are they still best source for OEM parts.. ?

Thanks..

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.

I think it' because that they order from the Corporate Subaru Parts warehouse, wait for the parts to arrive, assemble the order, then ship it out.

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.
