Default Where do you buy parts

Going on a road trip in two months and my car is near the 180k mark. Going to do timing belt, water pump, cam seal, valve adjustment, new belts. Suggest any places to buy the parts needed? I've ordered from parts geek but they **** me off by charging multiple shipping. I've recently replaced the radiator and hoses. Looking forward to getting the car out on it's first serious trip since I got it. Going to go take my wife and dog cross country skiing in Arizona, use my c&r card to buy some firearms, and visit the grand canyon and monument valley.

You can get a timing belt kit with all OE Honda parts on ebay for cheap, just look around.

EDIT: ^^ Cheaper than buying each part separately from Majestic and paying their shipping charges.

timing belt and water pump....dealer or a place like majestichonda.

Belts I prefer Oem, but have used gatorbacks and have no complaints.

vavle adjustments, I do myself, however any halfway decent shop could do it

I buy all my OEM parts through majestic. Their diagrams are also extremely helpful in making sure you order the correct part.

Never heard of majestic and will keep an eye out on eBay for the timing belt kits. Thanks guys, btw I'm doing this work myself since I'm a cheap ask.

Get an OEM timing belt and water pump. You don`t want to get cheap crap off ebay and one or both of those break on you. Just my two-cents

Its basically a dealership like Majestic but on ebay, DCH in California. You didn't list what car you have but I did a comparison for a 96-00 Civic timing belt kit (excluding Si) all OEM parts:
Timing belt
Water pump
3 accessory belts

DCH price: 145 (includes shipping)
Majestic price: 159 (includes shipping)

Heres the direct link to that price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-97-98-99-...item53eae66f99

VERY true, be careful of this OP.


@Blacknight117: just in case you just skimmed my 1st post:

There's plenty of good quality stuff on eBay, you just have to pay attention to the brand and seller. There is the cheap crap too, but Autozone sells cheap crap and they're a brick and mortar store, so...

If you go to Oreilly or Napa or something, they may sell Gates timing belts. Gates is the company that makes OEM Honda timing belts and it's always cheaper than going to the dealership.
