Least inexpensive vendor for replacement sensors?

Post by soobrdad02 »

Looking at codes for my IACV and my knock sensor, and I was hoping for opinions/past experiences with vendors(other than the local stealership!) for pricing/service. Thanks!

Rockauto.com or drivewire sell replacement sensors for a bit of a discount. I have had good experiences wih their customer service while trying to find the right cv axle for my 87 GL-10. Check em out

About $65 for the knock sensor from Carquest. IACV is a killer though.

Least INexpensive? The dealer, of course! ;)

1stsubaruparts usually has better prices than subarugenuine parts. I have cross referenced numerous parts between the two and 1stsubaruparts pretty much always beats them. Although I think the minimum shipping charge is cheaper on subarugenuineparts.com but that's hardly worth it unless you're ordering something cheap.

I usually just go to the dealer, which is subarugenuineparts.com, but I go in person(renton dealer sucks). If it's something that doesn't have to be great quality I go to Autozone and get a recognizable brand. I haven't found anyone that sells parts much cheaper than those places.
