" Prime Choice" auto parts. Opinions?
Permalink  

 Just heard of this supplier for auto parts. Looks like knock offs made in China? Contemplateing trying this supplier for ABS. sensors for a 2006 Nissan Quest van.Dealer price is outrageous. Someone on here must have used their parts in the past. Is the $ saved worth it verses reliability and fitment? Any disastrous failures? As all ways your feed back is appreciated. Thanks.

Is this an outlet like NAPA or Car Quest???? I've never heard of them here in Ont. might just be a "out west" chain [if thats what it is] As for Chinese parts, never had any luck with them, better off spending the money up front as you'll end up doing the job 1 or 2 times with replacement parts for their JUNK Went through 2 fuel senders& pumps before getting a name brand one & had to pay labour twice as thats not covered!!!!

Pete..    I think most (not all) Canadian and American parts stores can supply or get "white box"  parts   I know at my local store they stock imports and "good" stuff

 

I bought a complete Toyota Camy exhaust (front to mid with convertor) on line for under 200 delivered to the door   Much to the advice, against not running Geninue Toyota parts (made in JAPAN) smile  The part fit perfect and car runs like new...

They are an online store. The warehouse is in Ottawa. From the online reviews it sounds like the parts are similar to "white box" and likely made in China. Still, people raved about their quick and free (on orders over $35) shipping. I suppose it depends on what you are working on and what parts you need.
Ball joints for my S10 listed at $13 each..

I will never buy white box crap again. Live and learn. Once was enough. I either buy AC Delco and premium jobber.

I've seen Delco rotors made in Poland. The engines in the Chevy Equinox are made in China. They get shipped to another plant here in town where they get partially assembled and then shipped to the CAMI plant.

On GM parts, in the last 2 months, I've seen Japan, China, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, Indonesia and likely a bunch more I'm forgetting.

Used this company about eight times for the newer cars, my son also. No problems so far and the parts are at your door in a few days. I know you get what you pay for, but the stuff I have purchased works fine.

1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee: Got upper & lower ball joint kit (all 4 pieces), from Prime Choice / for $50.01 plus $6 shipping...next day delivery.

- independent garage, installed BJ's in 4 hours labor Total parts & labour, under $400 spent / dealer wanted $1,100....so a $700 savings.

Last MOOG I bought from NAPA/UAP, was Made in China / no longer paying top dollar, for their stuff...more than pleased, with purchase.

I hope they work out ok for you. Our experience at the dealership with cheap ball joints has not been good at all. Yes, please keep us posted.

My $12.50 each Ball Joints, worked out great, as vehicle easily passed provincial safety check & now up for sale.

Unfortunately - no long term feedback, will be available / but feel far more confident, than "white box BJ crap" sold at NAPA-UAP.

 

When I purchased my 2000 4Runner (certified) in January, my dealer friend installed premium MOOG Ball Joints / they weren't cheap.

^^ And were made in China / personally, I would of specked OEM DENSO out of Japan / I'm done buying MOOG.
