We know everyone is looking for a new option for Lexus parts and there are many options out there. Many factors come into when you are looking for a new supplier, price, shipping, location, quality and selection. We are Lpartsworld.com and MyLparts.com. We are a Club Lexus Authorized vendor. We are also a Lexus dealer selling only genuine Lexus parts. We are located in California. We have great online prices and offer a CL discount on top of those prices.Just use code CL5 for 10% off. We offer free shipping on orders over $150. We have discounted shipping on orders under $150. 99% of our orders ship same day or next business day. What don't we do? We don'd do any large body pieces, batteries or any fluids. Other than that we usually can handle any order. We don't have the same schematics as Sewell, but we are working on that. We understand that all this Sewell business is going to get spread around the country, but we do want to make sure you understand that we are here for you if needed. Give us a look over, give us a call! Hope to do business with some of you in the future! Thanks!

Sewell parts did not have best prices even with CL so called discount, I usually found parts cheaper on alternative sites. The way they build their site was amazing, but the price increase almost did not worth it.

No big loss to me because their shipping rates to Canada were absolutely absurd unless you were doing a pretty large purchase, and they refused to send anything regular post and just FedEx.

So, MyLParts... can you do a better job at getting me my parts for less money than the local dealer than Sewell did?

P.S. Your web site looks a little bit atrocious for an online business and it it wasn't for the club lexus sponsorship it would have scared me away. You definitely need to invest a couple of dollars to put something up that is more professional looking.

Who had cheaper prices that didn't have a crappy website? I'm not talking about maintenance items. It was easier and cheaper for me because I could get things for all my cars from one site and shipping was quick and fairly cheap. I got everything in two days. Also they had excellent customer service. When they messed up they would send the right thing to me for free with a gift so I guess I'm looking at the total package.

So since you were willing to say they didn't please let me know what OEM website you use.

Well unfortunately we can not ship to Canada. We have dealership agreements that will not allow us to ship to any international destination. From what I understand Sewell was following this policy as well as I have seen this concern about them in the forums here. I am not sure what you are reffering to about our site. It is a standard full line parts catalog. Its a diagram site that is made to allow customers to look up parts as a parts catalog. If you want pictures, you can visit our other site www.Lpartsworld.com. But this site is not a full catalog site, its more accessories and fast moving parts. Let me know what it is that you did not like and what you would prefer to see when you visit a parts site. Thanks!

Don't get all defensive there buddy, There layout was seamless, but price wise they were far from cheap. I liked oemlexusparts.com, with great phone support if needed. Do they have schematics like sewell? not really, are they cheaper yes. So as I stated earlier sucks for them to leave, but their are other alternatives and it is not a huge loss. Sewell messed up my order a few items and they made it right, but there shipping charges for the smallest items was ridiculous. I remember I needed OEM TPMS sensor sewell after CL discount $66 plus $15 shipping vs oemlexusparts.com $54 and $10 shipping. It might not be a huge difference but please they fooled every one with this CL discount.

Do you know who the contact at Sewell Parts is?
I placed my last buy order on 02/27, Credit card was charged on 02/28.
I checked my account today. It still shows the order is received.
They are very fast in processing the order. I usually got the order processed in a couple days.
I just responded to the order confirmation email to find out the status.
Unless they have a lot of back log orders.
