Default Got recommendations for OEM Parts vendor?

Team,

Im in the process of rebuilding brakes. I need a front brake piston and rebuild kit. I looked around for vendors or site sponsors with no luck. I found this link on the forum, https://www.handa-accessories.com/s2000-04maint.html, but they don't ship to Guam. After a quick Google search, I found Honda Parts at Honda Parts Now | Genuine OEM Honda Auto Parts and Majestic Honda - The Internet's #1 Honda Automotive Parts Store and of course Autozone and Oreilly. Before sending my money to stock holders, I figured Ill ask the forum about the vendors who have been supporting the forum or our members.

Thanks in advance. If this info is already posted somewhere, please let me know.

Have you tried reaching out to Honda directly? I bought an OEM rear CV join from a dealership - I simply googled the part number I was looking for and clicked on "shopping" which produced a list of vendors selling that part - most were Honda dealerships.
If you have the part number/s just plug it in to google.
Amazon is a good source as well - but it's typically 3rd party vendors selling on there as well which turn out to be dealerships too.
Hope this helps.

I've bought from both Majestic and H&A over the past few years and had great service from both.

Haven't used Honda Parts Now so can't help you on them

Once you get to know somebody in the parts dept at the "dealer", they usually cut you a deal and often come pretty close or match what I can find online. Not always, but you get what you want pronto.

Ill try schmoozing the local dealer parts desk. For a bunch of rubber O-rings they want over 3 times the retail cost! Its one of the negatives of island life. Its worse for motorcycle parts.

Hard to schmooze a Honda dealer in Guam I would think?
