Where do you get your OEM parts from?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum - My 3 yr warranty is soon to expire, which means I will be taking care of all maintenance going forward on my 08 RX-8.

Quick question - Do people generally use the dealer for OEM parts or a third party website?

I try to avoid the local dealer (a few bad experiences) but the majority of the 3rd party sites have high shipping rates (looking for a few washers so $4 for parts and averaging around $11 for shipping and handling). The local auto parts chain stores (O'reilly or Autozone) do not have the parts

Thanks

Give Mazmart a call, they will get you anything you want (as long as it's still available from Mazda)
