Unhappy Sewell online closing :(

Hi Guys,

I logged into sewell online parts earlier and it read that the online parts department will be closing march 1,and to visit there in-store parts department to purchase parts. This is really bad news and i hope they find an alternative solution.

i placed an order for a few things last night... If you can and anyone should place orders in the next 10 days.. They had the best discount of any online parts department period... we have a few alternatives but i don't think anyone can beat the prices of Sewell

Theres an ebay store "TOYOLEXPARTS" (based out of Florida) who has phenomenal prices, I wonder if parts could be requested. Maybe Dave can make a deal with them

This is a shame. I purchased a bunch of stuff them for my Lexus in the past and was looking forward to getting parts from them for the new car too.

That's bad news, but shipping was always expensive. I still bought stuff though.

They've always been the first place I turned when I needed Oem parts, too bad they won't be around anymore.

Hey everyone Sewell has been an integral part of the online business for Lexus parts for a long time. It is sad to see them go away. I also use MyLparts.com for Lexus parts. They have been around for almost 10 years themselves. Matt & Jeff have helped me out numerous times on the phone. They also give a Club Lexus discount on top of their prices. I always get my stuff very fast from them. Their shipping prices are very reasonable and I think they still do free shipping over a certain amount. Hope this helps. All genuine parts. No need to sign up. Just use their code CL5 for 10% off
