anyone from vancouver, bc?
out of curiosity, are there any good places to get aftermarket parts for mercedes in the lower mainland? the only places i know of is Rev and maybe brabus in richmond but that's about it ... i would much prefer to order parts through some place rather than over the internet ...

my friend lives in Vancouver. he found that ordering things online from the US is cheaper then getting it locally in Van even after the import tax.

I'm in Richmond, I had no idea there was a Brabus shop here! I hate to say it, but everyone uses ebay that I know of.

there is a brabus shop in richmond? get outta here!
i havent had any luck with finding a good supply shop in town. i think it's cheaper dealing with outside of the country anyway.

what are you looking for?

for you guys that don't know..YES there is a brabus shop in richmond .. it's just off new westminster hwy.. sort of near the automall and where rev used to be .. the two guys that work there drive maxxed out benzes.

i kinda figured that it would be cheaper ordering from the states .. but i just don't want to be scammed.. not looking for anything specific at the moment..just when i see something i like then i'll BUY it kinda thing. any good sites to buy stuff off from?

btw ... does anyone know WHY rev moved onto the top floor of mitsubishi?!

Deutsch Tech Motors
20800 Westminister Hwy.
Unit 1118
Richmond, BC
Canada V6V 2W3
604-278-7986 (7930 fax)

cuz they're not brabus, they're just a distributor. i dont know how many parts they actually carry.

i'm not to sure, it could be the same place? all i know is some place referred me there and i just remember seeing the building with big BRABUS letters on it. i think i still have his business card in my car .. i'll let you know if i find it.

but yeah ... do you deal with samson there? cause i heard that he specializes in mercedes ... havent really got a chance to talk to him cause that place is only open on weekdays till 5, and thats when i work =/

i saw your post on your car accident .. that must've sucked big time. where abouts did it happen?

i'm still quite new to this whole thing so i don't even know what kinda parts i'm looking for lol .

From Burnaby Here. Anyways, you can't really get anything in Vancouver. The best is to import from the states.
