I shop at Pelican at times since they can get me the items next day almost every time, but when I want OEM parts I usually send a request to SunCoast Parts for comparison. Heavy items, I usually just buy form my local stealer since the freight charges add up to about the same amount. Although I was surprised at my last purchase form the dealer. The OEM coolant was about $10-$12 less per gallon than Pelican.

Default Pelican Parts

I buy from Pelican, but as some of the other members stated, it's always good to compare prices with other Vendors.:

Like Vandit, I maintain a spreadsheet of parts. I generally buy from either Pelican or AutohausAZ, but I have found deals from other vendors.

I've spent thousands at Pelican and got tons of stickers but never any jelly beans.

Vertex sometimes have better prices but Pelican has better variety.

Although we are not the least expensive option when searching parts, we feel we offer the best tech support out there with our articles as well as parts professionals standing-by. It's all about customer service and we really make an effort to exceed the industry standard.

Now about those jelly beans, those are included with each first-time order but let me see what I can do for those who feel the need for some beans!

I ordered a Momo wheel and hub from Pelican a few weeks ago. They had the cheapest price anywhere and I got some tasty jelly beans.

I don't use the spendy OEM coolant....Prestone 50/50 is fine in Claudia.

If you're not in a climate that has freezes, then I wouldn't even mess with coolants. I'll run distilled water in mine.
