We started IDParts as a place where our friends from our car clubs to purchase hard to find parts.  Because of that we follow "friends and family pricing" and list all prices honestly based on our cost to purchase them and ship them to you.  While we always try to have the best price, from time to time other companies may offer sales or special offers which we aren't able match.  Meanwhile big national firms have millions of dollars in Wall Street money and that allows them to undercut local shops and small enthusiast companies, like ours.  

Unlike most online stores we run our own warehouse and stock our own products.  When you order from us your parts will come from us, not from some unknown third party "marketplace."  When price shopping it is worth considering the following things:

Is it:

  • Actually In Stock? - Most online stores do not stock parts which leads to delays as they source the items they've already sold you...
  • The Same Brand? - We have seen more and more examples of copycat brands which sound legitimate but are not.  Lesser expensive brands may be lower quality.
  • The Same Contents? - Our IDParts Expert Kit as designed and assembled by hand in our warehouse.  Kits sold by some stores are often missing crucial components.
  • Supported? - does the company know anything about what they are selling?  If you're going to rely on something to keep your vehicle on the road it might be valuable to purchase from a company that specializes in your vehicle and can answer questions if they come up!

If you find an in-stock product made by the same manufacturer, or a kit with the same contents, at a lower price, we'd like to hear from you.  

While we do not offer price matching as a policy, we do welcome any reports of lower pricing and the opportunity to change our pricing to be more competitive.  Simply contact us with the part number you are looking at along with a link to the alternate retailer.
