Default Source for new OEM / OE parts

Hello All,

Used to buy most of my new parts from Sunset out in Oregon... Is that still the best place for new parts, or are there other places to consider?

Thanks.

Sunset is not what it used to be. Their customer service is gone and their prices are no longer the cheapest. Sonnen has better prices now.

Holy crap your not kidding. I bought a plastic drain cover for the engine simply for cosmetic reason. Received it all scratched up. Called them and emailed them about 10 times , ZERO response. **** them.

Totally agree. Sunset service has gone downhill. I used to order from them quite a bit. Now my go to is Sonnen. Better pricing and better service than Sunset.

One of the guys here turned me on to Sonnen recently. I'd never heard of them before, but when I started comparing prices to my local dealer and Pelican - HOLY CRAP! I was finding some parts that were hundred -- or in some cases even thousands -- of dollars less than Pelican.

I believe it, the place is a joke now. I could tell you numerous stories about big ticket items they screwed up one after another. Asked the manager directly for an explanation and never heard a word from him.
