I buy some of my parts on line from the States, but lately I've going back to using the local dealer, even though there is a premium. Admittedly I'm lucky - I have a good local shop two kilometres down the road owned and staffed by some very experienced people. The good advice and friendship I've got there is worth far more than the saving I make by going off shore. Also how can I expect it to be there on a Saturday morning when I need an oil filter in a hurry if all the rest of the time I'm taking my business elsewhere?
