Online parts?

[paroyboy]

Does anyone know of a site or dealer that has online ordering of OEM parts? I want to buy the extra gauges but dont want to make the 4 hour round trip to pick them up.

i would contact your smart center, either by phone or through their webiste, and purchase them. they can always ship them to you on UPS just like anyone else.

i just don't understand this....for OEM parts, why is it that the dealer is the LAST place you look? contact them FIRST because you KNOW they have them or can get them. THEN call or surf around for other prices.

geez people, come on!!!

classicsmarts listed in the vendor group will do this.
hope this helps

I don't know if he considers the site "fully up" yet but scp-parts.com comes from my local sealer. The factory OEM accessories has what you need.

I did check with one dealer but they wont ship. I guess I could call around but arent we supposed to support the vendors here too?

FWIW, if you live close to a smart center that's probably the first option - IF they have the parts; lots of them are woefully understocked for some reason.

Next option is the Internet, and our two supporting parts guys - Classicsmarts as mentioned above, and Sherwin at Smart Car Parts. Other supporting vendors have the dress up and performance items but these two have the nuts and bolts stuff most people are looking for.

If you are looking for the pods, smart madness has them about $20 cheaper than anybody else, and they come with the bezzles

Saw that listing but the bezels arent painted. Not a huge deal but... Ended up going to the site mentioned earlier, scp-parts.com Placed with order with no sales tax and $9 shipping! Site is operational but still having a few bugs with confirmation e-mails. I called the number and everything is good and they will be shipped today.

If I lived 20 or 30 miles from a dealer, I'd just drive there and get stuff. Being 75+ miles away, I'd rather pay a little shipping and save the hassle.
