Any dealers in DMV price match online prices (or just have cheap prices) for parts?

Looking for an OEM serpentine belt but do not want to pay $70 at the dealer. I can get from Pembroke Pines for $37 plus shipping so that would be just below $50. Just wanted to know if theres anywhere I can get this locally instead of having to order it and wait for shipping...

Look for the Gator Back belt (or something along those lines) from advanced.

I know about all the cheap online places but wanted to get something before the end of the week so i was looking for something local...


It's not a rush, just preventive maintenance so is the Gatorback belt better than OEM? last longer, keeps quiet?

Gatorback is pretty good. Been running their serpentine belt on my LS for almost 3 years now. Not had a problem with it. Any belt SHOULD run quiet when it is properly adjusted.

The gatorback belt is awesome. i think its still under 20 bucks. it has notches that allow the belt to flex so it doesn't crack. I would choose it over an oem belt everyday of the week.
