Best wholesale supplier for Tesla Model 3 CV axles?
Hey everyone, I'm looking to source CV axles for Tesla Model 3s at my shop. I've been getting quite a few requests for these, and I'm keen on finding a reliable wholesale supplier. Price is definitely a concern, as I want to keep costs down while ensuring quality. I've heard mixed reviews about some suppliers, particularly when it comes to their return policies and RMA processes. If anyone has experience with specific vendors, could you share your thoughts on pricing, quality, and any RMA experiences you've had?

I've been sourcing CV axles for Tesla Model 3s from AutoPartsWarehouse for a while now, and they've been pretty reliable. Their prices are competitive, usually around $120 per axle, and they have a decent warranty period. I've had to return a couple of items due to fitment issues, but their RMA process was straightforward, and they handled it quickly. It’s also helpful that I can order directly through my shop management software, which streamlines the workflow a lot. Hope this helps!
I tried a vendor called EVParts Direct once, but I wasn't too impressed. While their pricing was lower, around $100 per axle, I had multiple return issues and their customer service was slow to respond. It was frustrating, especially when I had customers waiting. I’d recommend sticking with more established suppliers who have better support and return policies, even if it costs a bit more in the long run.
