Canadians! Parts?

Hi Canuck Boxster owners.

I am looking to get parts on this side of the border. The Loonie is taking a beating.

Where are you folks buying your parts?

GermanParts.ca? Are they any good?

Thanks

G

Shop around, ecstuning and pelican have been losing out to Prestige Porsche in Montreal for my latest needs. The dealer has been cheaper than buying from south of the border for somethings, shipping is fast, and hassle free.
Rockauto has been pretty good in the past, haven't bought anything from Canada parts online in a while but their prices appear to be closely related to the exchange rate from what I have seen.

Thanks guys.
I'm looking for the usual stuff. Like water pump and AOS and any OEM stuff.
I will make a list of your suggestions.

I use AutoPartsWay.ca frequently but it's often worth checking the dealer. Sometimes they are very competitive, other times not so much. My favourite dealer parts guys is Brad at Porsche of London. Awesome guy to deal with!

Used autopartsway.ca awhile back.

Cheaper on some items on not on others. Overall though they seemed very competitive.

Everything also came extremely quickly, and no issues with accuracy on the fill of the order either.

Sometimes they run additional 10% off your order type of promos as well. So if they're parts you're not in a rush for you can wait around and check the site periodically and one of these promos should come around.
