If you need foreign car parts, I would HIGHLY recommend "Foreign Auto
Parts", located in Washington (PA, of course) and Bridgeville (contrary to
what the phone book says).  Both locations are a little out of the way, but
it is well worth it, especially if you are buying expensive parts, or even a
whole lot of little parts.  The fellow that owns these two stores (his name
is Danny) is VERY laid back; he seems interested only in keeping the
business going.  I had to do some major repairs on our Honda (replace
exhaust system, put in new front-wheel bearings, rebuild the carburetor,
replace the ball-joints in the front end, etc).  On EVERY part, his prices
were cheaper than anyone else I called (and I called many of them).  Just as
an example, the exhaust system was quoted as costing $60.00 and up,
depending on who I called; he sold me a Honda exhaust system for for $30.00.
We needed some rubber hosing to replace some old, cracked hoses (about 7
feet of it).  We brought in a sample of the old hosing; it didn't exactly
match anything that he had, but it came close.  He GAVE us 7 feet of hosing
because "he wasn't sure it was going to work for us."  He is very helpful as
well.  If you are doing it yourself, but you've never DONE it yourself, he
is willing to sit down and explain the procedures to you.  The folks he
hires seem to be just as helpful as he is but, to be sure you have the real
McCoy, call the Bridgeville store first; he is usually working there.  The
relevant information is ...

			Foreign Auto Parts
			  1-800-242-3747
		Bridgeville		Washington, PA
		221-1310		222-2313
		???			860 Chartiers Ave.

If you think he is just too far out of the way to be considered, you might
consider him anyway; he will ship parts via UPS to any destination.

I really can't recommend Danny highly enough.  He is very helpful and VERY
cheap.
