Where do you get your Subaru parts?
I have been a loyal subaruparts.com customer since somewhere in 2002, but have not been able to successfully contact them in the last month. I have been on hold for over 3 hours now, left at least 4 messages and sent at least 3 emails - gotten no response.
I tried sending an email to Chaplins/subarugenuineparts and got a quick email back saying "if you want help with these parts please send your VIN" which I did, and never got a response back there either.
I am not looking for the regular Subaru parts counter like Carlsen where you pay more than list, but will do that if I need to. I have been trying to get parts for my Justy for over a month now....

I've used http://www.subarugenuineparts.com/ before with no problems at all. Give them a part number.
Or call Subaru of santa cruz. That's where I go for my stock parts. One or the other. I can get a 10% discount there if that helps any. Or buy some subaru bucks from someone.

Anyone got the part number for the push in clip thingys under the front bumper and for the skid guard? Repeatedly removing them plastic things using a flat screwdriver has some of mine worn...figure i'd buy some extras to keep handy.

I get my parts from the friendly parts guy at Prestige Imports.
His number is: 800-773-1855
-Gregory
He helps out answering questions, and gives i-club members a discount if you tell him you are from i-club. May not be as cheap as some of the others mentioned here, but personal service and helpful information makes up for that.

One thing I think a lot of people don't realize is that a dealership parts department, rather than being like walking into a store to buy stuff, is staffed by sales people who have leeway in pricing.

BTW that was the best experience I ever had at Carlsen (prolly since it was the last).
