Has anyone ever used www.mazdadiscountparts.com?

They got back to me with a quote on some oddball coolant hoses for my 13B. My local Mazda dealer couldn’t locate the hoses but they did try. I'm thinking about ordering the parts but figured I'd check them out first.

What do you guys think, thumbs up or thumbs down?

Thanks,

Got all my NEW engine parts from them!..goddam guys keep sending me the wrong housings!..At first they didnt know what the hell the difference is between a side and rotor housings!..
They messed up on my orders twice!..WRONG HOUSINGS, WRONG GASKETS!..TOOK ME 2 MONTHS TO GET ALL MY PARTS!..CHEAPER???..i dont know.. maybe..all i care about now is that i got all the parts i wanted....

PS... Make sure you give them PART #s because they dont know the anatomy of ROTARY. I had to use MAZDATRIX' part #s to order parts from them..SERVICE???>.they suck!

How do you find the Mazda part #s?
Are these listed in the Shop Manual?

My local dealer is an idiot! Must be because they sell mainly Fords and Lincolns there. The fool doesn't even carry a shop manual. How am I supposed to explain which part I need when they don't have a book to look it up. Do you have any idea how many Water sensors there are on an GSLSE, about 4???

I feel your pain.

So I've resorted to buying all of my parts directly from Mazdatrix. Although I confess that certain items are cheaper if I can find them first at Kragen.

are incompatent mazda dealers the fad these days.. i would not even trust the one here long enough to park it in his lot. let alone touch my seven. and i donot even think that i would trust them to order parts for me, even if i was going to install them myself...

Hey i think you are talking about GALPIN?!?!..am i right???...hehehehe..their guys behind the counter dont know what they are doing. I was getting a quote from them about a bare block reman motor. The guy said, "ROTARIES DONT HAVE BLOCKS!..ON PISTON CARS." I immediately hanged up the phone.

Also i see your LOCATION..YOu say you cruise on Mt WILSON..HIGHWAY 2 right?!?!...i love that place!..especially now that they put new asphalt!..hehehehe ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM..

It was, STAR Ford Lincoln Mercury (Mazda)
they may actually be worse than Galpin, but it wouldn't doubt your story.

HWY 2 is great! And so are Mulholland and HWY 1 Pacific Coast Highway along the beaches. I live in the S.G. Valley, so Mt. Wilson is sort of like my backdrop.

West Covina Lincoln just picked up the Mazda dealership flag and some very good parts counter people from the old Puente Hills Mazda dealership. Ask for Mary or RC, and you'll be good.

Separately, Racing Beat, Rotary Reliability, and Mazda Trix can get you dealer parts many times cheaper than you can directly.

I had a hard time locating the part number for an intake temp sensor. The dealer parts person doesn't use the same part name as the service manual so it was difficult. And, Mazda's parts computer doesn't list all the parts well I guess. The parts guy faxed me a bunch of pictures but none showed what I wanated. Luckily, the manager of the parts department has 8 Rx7s so when I spoke to him, he said "$71.72". I was like "excuse me?"

The other dealer quoted me $95 for the sensor and refused to give me a part number.

I often wonder why mazda doesn't have the part number on its service manual to make things easier. Also, a lot of parts don't have part numbers on them. I know this is normal among cars but it's a bad practice.
