You can buy relays ANYWHERE.

The big question is what kind of relay are you looking for. Or perhaps more importantly what are you trying to do with it.

It is difficult to buy relays in my area, as rarely people wanna keep slow movement stock. Recently I had a relay problem. Spent $15 for the repair cost but the towing cost me $200. So I would like to keep some spares. The type of relays I want are in the engine bay fuse box, few of each type.

NAPA, Autozone, PepBoys, JCWhitney - all sell relays........

You don't say where YOUR area is, but unless it's south of Patagonia, you can buy generic Bosch relays in every town.

Take a look at tysonsmazda.com. That's Rosenthal Mazda, Tyson's Corner, VA. (Not to be confused with Rosenthal Mazda Arlington, aka finishlineperformace.com) They have a full parts catalog on line, with some discount off list price. Don't know if they'll ship international.

You might try e-mailing Tommy at Rosenthal Arlington (forum vendor) and see if he can fix you up with some spares. Or maybe contact mazmart (another forum vendor) who may be able to pull some out of a wreck.

I understand the "You want parts for a what???" problem. In the mid-60s I owned an Alfa Romeo in upstate New York. And in the early 70s I owned a BMW in Alabama. I remember asking a guy at a parts store if he had a particular part for the Alfa, and he replied "I sure hope not."
