Default Is there a good mail order Lexus parts store

It seems that most luxury car dealers in the Atlanta area charge much more for parts than other non-metro dealers. There are a couple of BMW dealers that sell for 40% off of what most dealers sell for. Is there a Lexus dealership that sells mail order at a discount? Prefer in the southeast, but anywhere is fine.

I have ordered from www.irontoad.com and have seen http://www.lexus-parts.com/ mentioned. Both are lexus dealerships I believe and I am not affiliated with any of them. I have had very good experiences with the irontoad site.

I recommend lexus-parts.com for getting OEM parts at discounted prices. I purchased a valet key from them at 1/2 the price of what I would have paid from my local dealership

I ordered from irontoad.com, they did a good job, and the parts actually come from a Lexus dealership. All genuine parts.

You can also try good ol' Steve Ganz at Carson Toyota. Lexus parts are basically Toyota parts after all. He ships and since you are out of state (CA), "no tax".

I am in metro Atlanta also. Dealers are a rip-off here. I have used out of state dealers who are half price. Sewell Lexus ---Dallas ,Tx. is good. Darrel Diller is e-commerce parts guy. They will ship most stuff to Atlanta for $10. Some of the mentioned sites (iron toad, etc) do not give all OEM parts. You have to watch. Filters, etc. are fine but shocks, engine parts need to come from Lexus.

Actually lexusparts.com is the same thing as Sewell Lexus. Thanks. BTW, which dealer do you use for service. I use Hennessy on P'tree Industrial and am thinking of trying a different dealer.

I have used them all. I currently use Hennessey Gwinnett for some items. Walter Harris is great service guy. I have also used T3 automotive on Lawrenceville Hwy. They do great work at low prices. The facilities will scare the hell out of you, but they seem to know what they are doing. For example, Hennessey wanted $1200 for 80k mile timing belt service----T3 used all Lexus parts and did it for $631. However, one has to remember that if something goes wrong with service---Lexus will be around and T3 could be bankrupt.

I agree with iron-toad and Steve Ganz. You may be surprised at what the local Toyota dealerships will charge. They may be only a couple of dollars higher but you won't pay shipping. Of course, the more you mail order the less expensive shipping is per item...

Sewell Lexus in Dallas is www.lexus-parts.com. They have a very good deal about anything. Also check Carson Toyota.

Try this dealerhsip as well--pretty competitive pricing:

www.spartanmotormall.com (general website) OR

http://www.lexustoyotamitsubishiparts.com (the direct page)

Direct email: spartanmotormall@hotmail.com

They are a genuine Lexus dealership in Michigan and will get you the OEM Lexus parts/accessories at great prices (~20% off). I've used them a couple of times, and I give them high marks for service.
