Online: Mercedes OEM parts
Hi everyone,
Where do you guys buy OEM parts online? Is mbpartscenter legit (real OEM parts) or your recommendation?
Just compare dealership vs the-online, "stealer" price is x2.
Thanks.
Tom

A number of the MB "oem" sites are actually dealerships. They all have the same look and feel because they all use the same parts CRM system by Revolution.
Every part I've ordered from one of those sites (and I've used a few different ones) has always came from a legit mb dealer. I'm not sure why they have these oem site domains when you can just go through the dealerships main parts page though.
It's funny how the same part will cost two different prices though. Lol for example. I once looked up a part directly through the dealerships site and they gave me one price. I found their "oem part" site and got the same exact part, shipped from the same exact dealership for considerably less than what the main dealership parts site had it for. I don't get that, but oh well. Lol

Mbpartscenter is actually a legit Mercedes-benz dealer. Mercedes-benz of Scottsdale. I ordered a few parts from one of those sites and it was from MB of Laredo TX. (Mbpartsource.com I believe).

I bought a complete right side exhaust system for a c240, including catalyst, muffler, manifold to exhaust tip for a significant savings.
I asked my dealer if they'd price match and they said no. I had the discount part (yes, factory) shipped to the dealer and they installed it.
Don't remember which one it was for sure, but I think it was one of the ones listed earlier in the thread.
No, it doesn't make sense to me.

https://www.mbpartshaus.com Is MB of Centerville OH
https://www.mbdirectparts.com is Husker Mercedes in NE
https://www.mboempartsdirect.com is MB of Woodlands TX
https://www.mbonlineparts.com is Benzel Bush MB in NJ.
another one is mboemparts.com. I can't find what dealership it's for but it's for sure another MB dealer.
I'm pretty sure a good number of the dealerships have these other "discount direct parts" sites as I keep coming across different ones all the time.
One thing to always check on them is shipping. They all have different charges. For example, once I was shopping for a part and one of the sites had it much cheaper, but shipping was expensive and then I found the part on another one who's price was higher but had a much lower shipping cost and actually cost less in total than the site that had the part cheaper.
I ordered a small cup holder rubber insert. Some of those sites wanted to charge me up to $30 in shipping! I found one that only charged $7 for shipping. Turns out that part came from a dealership in NY that I have been to (Helms bros)
