One other thing to note for Porsche North Toronto, PFAFF and Porsche Oakville is they honor 10% discount for PTN members.
And there is no charge to join PTN (Porsche True North) as it is a Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp group that organizes meets, cruises and soon to be track days.
20% if you buy over a certain amount at the dealer we deal with... BMW is more. OEM parts for lots of things are the same or slight higher than aftermarket.. Only bummer with Porsche is they don't have a parts Warehouse in Canada. If the dealer doesn't have it in stock it will come from GA or CA.

Thanks for the tip on PTN. Just liked their Facebook page.

I think you will find that Porsche London doesn't give additional PCA discounts because they already heavily discount their parts prices to everyone. In my experience, this results in their prices being less than online US parts dealers like sunset once you factor in exchange and certainly if you factor in shipping and import duties from the US.
Couple of examples from my recent order
Porsche list $422.90, my cost $361.58
Porsche list 6.47. my cost 3.81
Porsche list 460.14, my cost 393.42

In my opinion, if you are in their area you can't beat their prices and the service I get from Brad and his team is excellent.

Thanks for the heads up. I will certainly give them a try on a few items I am looking at.

Cheers.

Suncoast
ECS Tuning
Renn Line

It kills me to see what they charge for shipping. Are there any Canadian operations that you guys recommend? Also seriously considering a Soul Performance exhaust. Can anyone recommend a good shop? I am in Windsor, Ontario.

Thanks for your suggestions!
PM sent, I'd love to chat with you about the exhaust setup and get you taken care of

Best regards,

Porsche Center Winnipeg no longer honours the PCA discount either, that is one of the main reasons I joined the PCA and now they don’t offer the discount anymore.

Just wanted to provide feedback based on my recent need for a single (but pricey) part. Please note this is based on email correspondence with no pre-existing relationship (i.e. you could likely do better with your local dealer if you regularly buy from them). I typically buy from RockAuto, but this was an OEM specific part.

Porsche Centre North Toronto = MSRP - 10% PTN discount
Porsche of London = MSRP
EXO Parts = MSRP - 15% (approximately)
My local Porsche Dealer that I bought car from (outside GTA) = MSRP + 3.5% (no idea why it was greater then MSRP quoted by the three above)

As always, YMMV.

Mods - hope this feedback does not break any forum rules. Please advise if any Canadian dealerships or parts suppliers are forum sponsors.

They opened up a parts warehouse last year.

was in there today picking up a couple of things, checked the receipt...no PCA discount. I enquired and was told that he thought the discount had been temporarily suspended.

Really? That would be lousy. I was in there maybe 3 weeks ago.

Possibly as a way to recoup some lost revenue.

Have noticed some changes in Service. Both air cooled specialists are gone, less service advisors.

Discount suspension, changes in service and less staff must all be Covid-19 related. Too bad. I love shopping at and supporting local businesses. I am not against people making money off my purchase. I just hate getting raked over the coals by greedy local businesses owners who feel entitled. I think Suncoast will be getting a sweet, sweet order from me very soon.

Is your upcoming order with Suncoast to stick it to all the local Porsche dealers for not offering their 10% discount?

I didn’t write anywhere that I am purchasing at Suncoast out of spite or anger, correct? On the contrary, I am purchasing from Suncoast because their pricing is fair.

Relax. No need to be defensive. Given how you wrote your message, and the flow of your post, it's how I interpreted what you wrote, that's all. I was asking out of curiosity. Good luck on your upcoming order with Suncoast. They are great.
