Default FYI - Sewell Online shop seems to be closing

Just a heads up, went to sewell to buy some parts. After logging in a notification saying their online shop is closing at the end of the month (March 1st).

I guess buy all the parts you need before they close

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 Lexus parts. No need to sign up, just use their code CL5 for 10% off

Exclamation Discontinued Sewell Lexus Parts Online

Just in case not everyone is aware, apparently Sewell Lexus Parts onlne will be discontinued on March 1, 2015. It's sad. Be sure to get the parts with your discount before then! They have many great deals right now, especially for the timing belt and water pump kit. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!

I just logged in and got no such message, although I observed that they have discontinued new customer registrations.....

Well that sucks.

I've always been amazed other Lexus dealerships have "allowed" Sewell to sell their parts for wholesale to the public.

I hope they weren't pressured out of their business model.

Lexus of South Atlanta is priced just as good if not better and you don't need to log-in.

Yes, they do have some great prices actually! Thanks! I knew about the site, but always went through Sewell for the CL discount.

Wow..... saw the msg when I logged in. Better get a case of filters... can't beat $3.50 a piece.
Sorry to see the change as I enjoyed the CL discount over the years.

Irontoad.com is, also, a great Lexus OEM parts seller. Irontoad is actually a Lexus dealer in PA.
