Where to Find Japanese Auto Parts

Video Transcript

"Good afternoon my name is Tom Brintzenhofe, Certified Master Mechanic from Reading, Pennsylvania and today we are going to talk about how to find Japanese Auto Parts. Now it is not really a difficult task to find them you have just got to go out in your garage and after calling your local parts stores, your Advances, your Auto Zones, your Pep Boys and you kind of run dry there and you are not finding what you are looking for, there are a lot of part stores out there that specialize in just imports and if you can find them in your local, in your phone book you can use them too if you find what you are looking for. If not your second choice would be to go to a dealership. Now unfortunately they are a little on the expensive side but that is your best source for finding an import auto part and if you can't find it there the best thing is to go online. There are tons of part stores that are out there that are listed on the internet, car parts, wholesale, car parts.net. You can find a lot of them through those websites there but your best bet is to go to the dealership if you are trying to find a hard to find auto part. These here were brake clips I got off an old Mazda. I couldn't find these in my local parts store either at Pep Boys or Advance and I had to go back to the dealership for them but that is unfortunately Japanese Auto Parts are harder to locate than regular American automotives but like I said call your local dealership and you should be able to find them there. If you can't go on the internet and there are tons of places out there where you can locate them."
