Best wholesale supplier for Honda Civic starters?
Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on where to source starters for Honda Civics. I've been using a couple of local suppliers, but their prices have jumped recently, and the quality hasn't been consistent. I usually try to keep my inventory stocked with quality parts since I want to avoid unnecessary RMAs. I've heard mixed reviews on online suppliers. Some say they can get great deals, but the risk of receiving subpar parts is a concern for me. If anyone has experience with a reliable wholesale supplier for Honda Civic starters, I'd love to hear about your pricing and overall satisfaction with the product. Thanks in advance!

I totally understand your frustration! I've been sourcing Honda Civic starters from a company called PartsWarehouse. Their pricing is reasonable, typically around $100 per starter, and I've found their quality to be excellent. They also have a decent return policy if you do happen to get a faulty part, which is a big plus for me. I've been using their online portal, and it integrates well with my shop management software. It's streamlined my ordering process significantly, and I can keep track of my inventory easily. Plus, they often have discounts on bulk orders, which helps when I'm stocking up. Give them a shot, and let me know how it goes!
I've had a mixed experience with a couple of suppliers. One that I tried was RockAuto, but I found their shipping times to be slower than I'd like, and they didn't have the best customer service when I had to return a couple of starters that failed shortly after installation. I usually pay around $120 for starters there, which is a bit on the higher side for me. In my opinion, you might want to check out your local auto parts stores as well. Sometimes they have promotions or can match online prices. It can take a bit more time to get the parts, but having a local connection can be beneficial in the long run!
