acuraautomotivesparts.com are a bunch of good for nothing liars. i just order some bolt flanges for my valve cover and its been 2 days. they email back and say that they cannot give me my parts because it has to be a 30 minimum and an top of that they wanted to add a 5 dollar extra handling fee. they suck dont buy from them. it might be a little cheaper but when they add the handling and etc it wont be cheap anymore. anyone know a GOOD site to acura parts such as the valve cover bolts? well thanks

Most online places won't sell you anything that cheap for a reason. One is because the shipping charges would probably exceed the amount of the parts. Even though you're paying for the shipping the company is still hardly making any money, simply because they're paying people to go into their warehouse and package your parts. That's why they charge the handling fee.

 

they could have least said it on the site. they should say if you dont spend over 30 then dont buy they waste my time.

 

where exactly is the parts section at it doesnt say.

 

Were does it say OEM parts? I think most of the parts that they sell are oem replacement.

 

Yes they do suck!!! I once called to get a quote on some parts and see if they had them in stock, they promised to call me back but they never did so I just went to the dealer and got the stuff myself. They get a big from me...

 

yea you are right. so anyone know a good site to get head cover b bolts (the valve cover bolts)?

 

MY BAD GUYS, it's ahmotor.com

I accidentally put the s at the end when there was no s.

http://www.ahmotor.com doesn't have a parts catalog online like acuraautomotiveparts.com but you can just copy the picture from acuraautomotivparts and attached it on your email to ahmotor.com

i was looking and didnt see any valve cover bolts, is it there? about to be ur 1000th post

 

i had absoultey NO problem with acura carland i ordered a type r rear sway bar and all the bolts and peices needed a type r center console and replied to all my emails and recieved my stuff in under a week. but hey if ur comfortable with paying outrageous dealer prices be my guest

 

ya they got me with that $5 handling fee for a acura emblem, I think its bs that they dont disclose this charge before you buy.

 

or you just frequent the local dealer enough times and you start gettin the wholesale prices.

thad at my local honda dealer hooks me up big-time.....doesnt charge me for manual tranny fluid, and i have my own personal wholesale account and everything. gave me a MAJOR discount on a EF manual rack (local yard wanted $45 for a rack with 2xx,xxx miles on it, and it was choppy as hell (no smooth movement) so i told 'em no way). $150, brand spankin new. tie rods and everything. bolt'n'go. when it goes for around $400 for the same part for the public, that guy is the man.

i'm never shopping anywhere but the dealer again.

 

ive ordered from carland several times, including the valve cover bolts. i dont remember ever having a problem, other than it took a week or so. dont remember if it was a single order or if i had other stuff..

 

How does this relate to a Integra issue, why don't you go ahead and post this in the correct forum.

 

Yes they do. Before you checkout, it is listed after the subtotal box as "Handling Charge" 4.95$... The prices are good there. You just have to be sure you order enough to offset the shipping and handling charge.

 

I have ordered thru acuraautomotiveparts.net most likely 6 six times. I have never had a problem.

They even called me on my last order to tell me the order went through.

 

you arent even owning a honda or acura so dont say anything plz. and you post this doesnt help anything

 

I've ordered from them twice without any problems. My shopping cart total on the website clearly showed the handling charge added, but it doesn't show what the shipping charge would be. Oh well, no problems with the orders I've made, and they even helped me out when I was trying to verify if there was a backorder on B-series distributor ignitors like one guy in classifieds was claiming, even though I had no intention of buying one. They assured me that they had many ignitors in stock ready to ship.

 

actually there's a link on the left side of the page that says "shipping information" which explains both SHIPPING COSTS as well as the MANDATORY HANDLING FEE.


it's called self-sufficiency folks. if you can't figure out how to look for information (which is openly disclosed on their site, under the subject heading "SHIPPING INFORMATION"--makes sense) then maybe you should just stick to buying stuff at the dealership.


edit: here's the link, which is available on every single page of the entire website.
